Untitled-collage-(35).jpg

Winter has its own charm, but biting chill, breathtaking winds, and dreary weather don’t just put our moods on a bit of a downer, it can wreak havoc on our skin too. The cold air robs the moisture from our skin, leaving our complexion dry and dull. However, it is possible to keep your skin happy, plump, and luminous throughout the winter months, all you need to do is slightly adjust your skincare routine.

Yes, it is not just your wardrobe that needs a revamp during the winter months but your winter skincare routine needs to level up too. So to help you with the task, we’ve rounded up tried-and-true skincare tips to keep your skin healthy and radiant all season long.

The Step-By-Step Guide To Take Care Of Your Skin During Winters

Winter can really make your skin go from glowy and hydrated to dull and dry. But DW, as today we’re listing down the step-by-step guide to nail your winter skincare routine and take your beauty game to the next level.

Use A Gentle Cleanser

Use gentle cleansers that cleanse the skin without stripping off the much-needed natural oils, Cream or gel-based formulas with hard-hitting ingredients will do the trick.

Add Vitamin C Serum To Beauty Regimen

Avoid using alcohol and fragrance-infused products during the winter months as they tend to dry out the skin. Instead, invest in an uber-hydrating formula with skin-loving ingredients such as Vitamin C and hyaluronic acid that will keep your skin looking bright, fresh, and dewy. 

Use An Uber-Hydrating Moisturiser

Moisturising is the core of any stellar winter skincare routine. Make sure you moisturise in the a.m and p.m. to give your skin hard-hitting hydration. Use a moisturiser with hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid or collagen-infused creams to seal the deal.

Finish With A Nourishing Oil

Calling out folks with ultra-dry skin. As the last step of your winter skincare routine, add an extra dose of hydration on top of your moisturiser to give your skin a dewy, fresh glow. Just take a few drops onto your palms, rub them together and gently pat onto your face and neck.

Use A Rich Nighttime Cream

Give your skin the much-needed TLC while you snooze by layering it with a nighttime cream. Look out for ingredients such as retinol, niacinamide, or peptides to lock in the moisture overnight. 

Alternate Night Creams With Overnight Masks

We, beauty fanatics, love an overnight mask. Don’t we? An overnight mask is a perfect addition to your winter skincare routine as the hard-working product really helps lock in the hydration while you sleep giving you plump-looking skin.

Don’t Eliminate Your SPF

Most of us tend to think that once the winter months arrive, we can stop using SPF but that’s not the case. However, despite the fact that the temperature drops significantly during the winter months, the sun can be extremely strong and damaging to the skin.

Exfoliate!

Add a chemical exfoliant with AHAs and BHAs to gently slough off the dead skin cells from your face. If you love dry brushing your skin, try to keep up the habit throughout the colder months as it stimulates the lymphatic system and supports detoxification. All you need to do is dry brush with a soft natural brush - make sure you brush upwards towards the heart and be gentle with the strokes. This helps in decongesting the skin and imparting a healthy glow to it.

Keep Your Hands And Lips Moisturised

Body skincare is neglected by the best of us, but it’s very important to look after our hands as they can highlight the signs of ageing by looking dry, lined, and cracked. Use a hand cream every time you wash your hands and wear gloves if you’re cleaning or washing up.
