Looking After Your Skin During the Winter Months

During the winter months, your skin is more likely to be dry and dehydrated. In order to avoid dryness, it is important to keep your skin moisturized. 

Exfoliating

During the colder months, looking after your skin by exfoliating can make a huge difference. By buffing away the dead layers of skin, you are able to open up pores and allow other skincare products to penetrate. This will leave your complexion brighter and smoother. By using an exfoliant, you will not only be removing dead skin cells, but you will also be boosting circulation. This will increase your moisture levels and allow your moisturizer to work better.

Another good option is to use a face scrub. These contain exfoliating agents like glycerin and aloe extract to rejuvenate the skin. This will help your skin’s barrier function and protect it from damage. Do not use a harsh exfoliant on your skin, this can damage your skin barrier and create other issues. 

In addition to an exfoliator, you should also take the time to apply a vitamin C serum to your face. This will help you keep your skin hydrated, help with dealing with hyperpigmentation while protecting you from the damaging effects of winter.

A good way to make sure that you are doing all the right things for your skin is to follow a skincare routine that is designed specifically for your skin’s needs. You should also replace the lightest moisturiser with something that will give you more hydration.

Moisturising

During the winter months, it is important to keep your skin moisturized to prevent dryness. The cold air can irritate your skin and make it dry and flaky. It is best to avoid washing your face too often as well. Using a gentle cleanser and exfoliant can help your skin feel hydrated. When exfoliating avoid abrasive scrubbing. Instead, use light circular motions. If you have a problem with sensitive skin, you may want to consult a dermatologist to find the best options for your skin.

If your skin is particularly dry, you may want to switch to a creamier, more hydrating cleanser. You can also take a warm bath to hydrate your skin. You can add essential oils to the water to create a protective layer on your skin.

If you have dry lips, you may need to apply lip balm regularly. An ointment-based, petroleum jelly type product is a good choice. You can also try a gel-over-cream moisturizer.

For your hands and feet, you should use thick moisturizing creams. These will help your skin build a barrier to keep moisture in. You can also put on cotton gloves to lock in moisture.

If your skin tends to get dry during the winter, you should try an overnight mask. You can also add a hydrating foundation. 

For your body, you may want to consider using a body moisturizer that contains a blend of hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and amino peptides. You can also bathe in essential oils. You can add a protective coating to your skin by soaking in a warm bath. Using an oil body moisturiser can help with trapping moisture into your skin.

Retinols

If you’re using a retinol, it can leave you with a youthful complexion. Retinol is a powerhouse vitamin A derivative that will have your skin glowing in no time. It’s a good idea to use a sunscreen with a broad-spectrum SPF of 30 or higher to sun damage and ensure you use a good moisture the following day. Always use Retinol at nighttime and never during the day. 

Protecting your skin from the sun

Taking steps to protect your skin from the sun during winter months can help to reduce your risk of skin cancer. In addition, protecting your skin from the sun during the winter months helps to prevent premature signs of aging.

The sun is at its strongest during the hours of 10 AM to 4 PM. Although it is less powerful than summer sun, it is still dangerous. Using sunscreen is an important part of winter sun protection.

If you plan to be outdoors for a long time, it is important to reapply sunscreen every two hours. This is particularly true for people with sensitive skin. You should also reapply after swimming, sweating or when you’ve been exposed to water.

Even on cloudy days, the sun’s UV rays can still reach you. It is recommended that you apply sunscreen liberally to all of your skin. This includes the face, neck and lips.

Another important winter sun safety practice is to moisturize your skin. This will keep your skin from drying out. Additionally, wear a wide-brimmed hat to help prevent sunburn on your scalp.

Profhilo 

If you find that your moisturiser isn’t doing the trick to moisture your skin, you can always try Profhilo which is a hyaluronic acid gel treatment which is injected directly into the skin, this has a prolonged stimulating effect on your dermal cells and stimulates the cell receptors to counteract skin laxity, improve and restore firmness of your skin.
