… Or must we call them sacred words to live by? Yes, winter skincare is very important to your skin’s health in general. When cold weather takes its toll on your complexion, the time to assist it with some care will be too late. Therefore, starting your routine early is what will save it from all this hassle. We know that every year, we give this topic its right and we will keep doing so as long as winters exist. So, let’s give the coming one its share of skincare tips to guide you through the ultimate routine. Believe us, your complexion will thank you for it!

  • Whether it’s sunny or gloomy, never forget your SPF. UVB might be less in winter, but UVA is still high enough to age your skin – which no woman wants, ever!
  • If your skin is already damaged, nothing like asking for professional help can make it better. The most important thing is to avoid auto-medication and run to your dermatologist to make things better.
  • Keep your skin hydrated. Whether it’s oily, dry or combination, it needs the right product to quench its thirst during the cold season. While water-based products are ideal for oily skin and combination skin, oil-based ones will give dry skin the hydration it needs.
  • At-home special treatments are essential to keep your skin healthy. Apply your favorite mask once a week in a day you feel like pampering yourself. Relax and watch the magic happen!
  • Home treatments don’t rid you from the need for a facial every once in a while. Professionals are always better at this, and you should keep that in mind, so once a month or every 3 weeks is more than enough to keep your skin feeling loved.
  • Avoid licking your lips every now and then. We know how drying this can be to your pout, so to help you get rid of it, we suggest you constantly wear a lip balm – or a hydrating lipstick of your favorite color if you’re out.
  • For your hands, go for a more hydrating cream to stop them from getting chapped. For more care, keep one in your bag, one on your nightstand and one that you carry with you around the house in order to use after every hand wash or whenever you feel they are getting dry.
  • Your body also needs some love, so take the bath time as a chance to give it its share of care. Avoid extremely hot water to keep the natural oils on your skin as much as possible, use a hydrating shower gel, pat your body dry with a towel instead of leaving it to air dry and make sure to hydrate with a lotion right afterwards.

Now, shop your essentials and get ready to face the cold!
