Brrrrrrr...Fight dry winter skin. Since your skin produces less oil in the winter due to the absence of sunlight and heat, you’re left with dry skin. There is less humidity in winter air, which causes any moisture you may have to evaporate right off of your skin.
Here are some usesful tips to ensure your skin looks healthy
and radiant in frigid weather.
Tip #1: Exfoliate
Take the extra step - it’s worth it! It’s important to exfoliate during the winter because dry skin will clog your pores resulting in breakouts. Some scrub cleansers can be harsh on dry skin, so try baking soda.
Tip #2: Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize
You need a heavy moisturizer this season. Have no fear! You can go back to your beloved oil-free moisturizer in the summertime, but you need a heavier moisturizer infused with humectants to draw water from the atmosphere into your skin. Hydrate with honey! See the benefits of honey here. Not convinced? Try Organic, Cold Pressed Coconut Oil paired with Pure MSM Cream - your skin will look instantly plumper and firmer.
Avoid alcohol-based products in the winter. They can be too drying and can backfire by
intensifying redness in your already sensitive skin. Reduce the dryness. Buy a product made with
witch hazel rather than alcohol to avoid stripping the skin. If you have a breakout, use Tea Tree Oil. That pimple will be zapped overnight!
Tip #4: Bring the Humidity in Doors
Invest in a humidifier. Air is naturally drier in the winter and since we spend most of our time in doors during this season and getting dried out by heating systems. So humidifiers are a must.
Happy First Day of Winter!
