How can I keep my skin moisturized this Winter season?
Winters are approaching and keeping your skin hydrated can be quite a challenge, but with the right approach, you can maintain a soft, dewy glow all season long and this is how!
Switch to a gentle cleanser : Foam or gel cleansers can strip moisture from the skin, so in winter, reach for a creamy, hydrating cleanser. It will help cleanse without removing natural oils that your skin needs to stay supple.
Layer your moisture : Start with a hydrating serum rich in hyaluronic acid or glycerin, which draws moisture into the skin. Follow it up with a thicker moisturizer to lock everything in.
Don’t skip sunscreen : Yes, even in winter! The sun’s UV rays are still present and can dry out your skin. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF daily to protect your skin and keep it healthy.
Limit hot showers : Hot water can feel amazing on a cold day, but it also strips your skin of its natural oils. Try to use lukewarm water and keep showers short to preserve moisture. After bathing, apply body lotion while your skin is still slightly damp to lock in hydration.
Nourish from the inside : Eating foods rich in healthy fats, like avocados, nuts, and olive oil, can help support your skin’s barrier. Drinking plenty of water also keeps your skin hydrated from within.
