Moisturize Intensively
Winter calls for a change in your moisturizing routine. Switch to a richer, more emollient moisturizer that contains ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and ceramides. These ingredients help to lock in moisture and reinforce the skin's barrier, preventing moisture loss due to dry air.
Humidify Your Environment
Using a humidifier in your home can add moisture to dry winter air and help keep your skin hydrated. Place a humidifier in your bedroom to protect your skin while you sleep, when long exposure to dry air can strip away moisture.
Gentle Cleansing
Swap out any harsh cleansers for a more gentle, hydrating version that doesn’t strip your skin of its natural oils. Cream-based cleansers or those with hydrating ingredients can help maintain your skin’s natural moisture barrier.
Stay Hydrated
Drinking plenty of water is crucial in winter as cold weather can reduce your thirst response. Staying adequately hydrated helps maintain your skin's elasticity and moisture levels.
Protect Your Skin
When venturing outside, protect your skin from cold winds and winter sun by applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen and wearing protective clothing. Don’t forget parts of your skin that are frequently exposed, like your hands and face.
