The Winter Glow Edit

Maintaining healthy skin during the colder months requires a shift in your daily routine. Lower humidity levels and indoor heating can deplete the skin of moisture. Focusing on a few key habits can help keep your skin resilient and hydrated.

Winter Skin Essentials

The primary goal in winter is to protect the skin barrier. When the barrier is compromised, skin becomes dry and sensitive.

• Switch to a Cream Cleanser: Foaming cleansers can be too harsh in winter. A cream or oil-based cleanser removes dirt while leaving natural oils intact.

• Apply to Damp Skin: After washing your face, apply your products immediately. This helps lock in the water on the surface of your skin.

• Use a Humidifier: Adding moisture back into the air at home prevents your skin from drying out overnight.

Moisture Staples for Winter

Certain ingredients are more effective at combating the effects of cold air. Look for these on product labels to ensure your skin stays hydrated.

• Hyaluronic Acid: This ingredient acts like a sponge, pulling moisture into the skin.

• Ceramides: These are fats that help hold skin cells together. They create a seal that prevents moisture from escaping.

• Shea Butter: A plant-based ingredient that provides a thick, protective layer for very dry areas.

Daily Winter Skin Habits

Consistency is the best way to see results. These simple steps can be added to any morning or evening routine.
