Winter can be tough on your skin, making it essential to have a strategy that effectively locks in moisture. This blog explores vital skincare routines and tips to prevent moisture loss during the colder months.
Layering Skincare Products
Start with a hydrating serum that contains glycerin or hyaluronic acid, followed by a rich moisturiser. This combination pulls moisture into your skin and then seals it in, preventing the dry air from stripping it away.
Opt for an Overnight Treatment
Nighttime is when your skin is most receptive to healing. Use a deeply nourishing overnight mask or oil-based serum to repair and rejuvenate your skin while you sleep.
Don't Forget the Humidifier
Indoor heating systems can dry out the air in your home, which in turn dries out your skin. Running a humidifier adds moisture back into the air, helping your skin stay hydrated.
Modify Your Bath Routine
Limit your showers to 10 minutes and avoid using hot water, as it can strip the skin of its natural oils. Opt for lukewarm water and immediately apply moisturiser after patting your skin dry to lock in moisture.
Hydration from Within
Increase your water intake during winter. Drinking at least eight glasses of water a day helps hydrate your skin from the inside out, complementing your topical hydration efforts.
By incorporating these practices into your daily routine, you can effectively lock in moisture and protect your skin from the harsh winter elements, ensuring it stays healthy and vibrant throughout the season.
