We love the charm of winters –misty mornings, big cozy sweaters, hot chocolates, bonfires, and basking in the sunlight. But along with all the good stuff, comes your cold-weather woes: dry and cracked skin, chapped lips, tight cheeks, and tingling noses. We are, after all, sensitive creatures that need special care as the winds turn cold. 

Those lightweight gel moisturizers and cleansers that worked just fine in summers and monsoons might not cut in chilly December. As colder temperatures approach, dry air, frigid winds, and exposure to indoor heat suck the moisture from your skin, stripping it of oils essential for healthy skin barrier function. Bottom line: A regimen change is a must!

So, what should you do? 

A slight adjustment in the skincare routine can do wonders and save you from all the winter skin problems. If you are looking for an essential skincare routine for healthy skin, we are here to give you all the keys to keeping your skin healthy and beautiful during the colder months of the year.

Switch to a gentle and nourishing cleanser 

As the temperatures drop, humidity levels also plummet, and our skin loses its moisture to the dry, cold air around us. So, during the winter season, switch to a moisturizing cleanser, preferably one with natural ingredients, that can help to hydrate parched skin, and support the skin’s barrier to help protect the skin from the damaging effects of the cold weather. This also helps to wash away the dead skin cells, without leaving the skin feeling tight or dry.

  

Double up on hydration 

Hydration is essential in winter. The skin is a metabolically active organ and needs water as an essential component to maintain its elasticity and preserve the integrity of its barrier function. To avoid these symptoms of skin dehydration in winter, apply a moisturizing cream or concentrate on your facial skin twice a day. Our range of moisturizers is fortified with natural extracts and skin-loving ingredients that adapt to your skin type and provide immediate and long-lasting hydration.

 

Sunscreen is a must

Even if it’s winter, you must apply sunscreen lotion every day to protect yourself from pigmentation. Besides, too much exposure to the sun can lead to wrinkles, skin cancer, and loss of collagen. Sunscreen infuses moisture that your skin needs during winter. Make sunscreens a part of your routine and apply them every day after cleansing, toning, and moisturizing your skin. You can also apply it along with your makeup.

Drink more water

Looking for an easy and effortless way to prevent dry skin in winter naturally? Drink Water! Drinking ample amounts of water is crucial to keep yourself hydrated during the winter. It is advised to drink at least eight glasses of water even if you are not sweating.

 

Take extra care with your eye area and lips

The skin of your lips and around your eyes is thinner and has little-to-no oil glands to protect itself. Use serums, oils or undereye creams around the eyes that soothe and protect the skin. On the lips, use occlusive balms to provide a barrier against the elements (to seal in moisture rather than provide it).

 

Layer up your skincare

Just as you would layer your favorite winter coat over a jumper, and that over your thermals, similarly, to keep your skin healthy and safe during winters, apply moisture-attracting skincare essentials after cleansing the skin, then layer it with facial oil all over, and add a nourishing day or night cream on top to seal the deal.

 

Use  skincare with natural ingredients 

Using skincare with harsh chemicals, toxins, SLS and silicones will dry the skin further in winter—try switching to natural skincare essentials and products that are paraben free, non-toxic, and enriched with natural actives and ingredients. They will provide gentle and effective care to your skin without having any adverse reactions or side effects.
