Skincare Tips for Winter

The cold season is a real challenge for most of us when it comes to skincare. The dry air and harsh winter winds increase the risk of dry skin and eczema. But that doesn’t mean we have to resign ourselves to this situation!

With the following 4 tips, you can protect your skin during winter:

1. Hydration: Our skin is much more than just a barrier against external influences. It keeps us warm and stores moisture. When it’s cold and dry outside, you should regularly massage a rich moisturizer or serum into your skin. This helps replenish the moisture your skin needs to stay smooth and supple.
2. Cleansing: Using a gentle cleanser is essential, as it helps remove excess oils and build-up from the surface of the skin. A good cleanser also has the ability to gently clean the pores without stripping away moisture.
3. Exfoliation: Exfoliating regularly helps your skin shed dead cells and bring new ones to the surface. This process increases blood circulation and stimulates collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin – which in turn helps reduce wrinkles and gives your complexion more radiance. The dry winter air is tough on our skin, so it’s important to apply a moisturizer daily. Make sure not to apply the cream too thickly, as this could lead to unpleasant breakouts.
4. Protection: Since sun rays also contain UVA radiation, we need to protect our skin in winter as well! Make sure your moisturizer contains SPF (at least 15). This way, you ensure your skin is protected from harmful UV rays – even on grey days.

With this skin care routine, your skin can be effectibely protected against even the harshest winter conditions. For a glowing complexion during the cold season!
