Care of your skin this winter

The winter is a battleground for your skin health, especially when it comes to keeping your complexion hydrated. We all know that tight, dry feeling after a day walking through frigid wind tunnels or desperately trying to soothe your skin after wearing a wool scarf. The struggle is real, friends. But with the official start of winter still a month away, we have time to get our beauty routines in order, ensuring that no amount of windchill or low humidity will upset our skin’s glow.

“Dryness and dehydration resulting from environmental and lifestyle factors such as forced indoor heating. These factors cause skin to feel tight and uncomfortable. They also cause fine lines to become more prominent due to lack of moisture.”

1.      Keep yourself hydrated, drink a lot of water

Since its cold, we often forget about proper water intake. Drink enough water. Drinking at least 8 glasses a day will help get rid of your body toxins. Everyone will not agree that water consumption will improve skin, but it truly is. Claims have been made that drinking water gives you a more radiant, healthy and younger looking complexion, while others say it has no effect or whatsoever.

2.      Remove your makeup

should be done properly and regularly. Get rid of your makeup as soon as you got home or when you already wear it for too long. You can use mild facial toner with moisturizer of your choice to avoid dryness. Micellar water is the best choice. Oil-free formulation is the ideal toning product for normal, dry, sensitive and tired skin. Regular removing of makeup and skin dirt will prevent you from having acne and other skin irritations.

3.      Level-up your moisturizer and pamper your skin

Applying the right kind of moisturizer for your skin care treatments can help maintain its balance. When skin is too dry or too oily, many common skin problems like rashes and acne start to pop up. According to dermatologist, if your skin tends to be oily, you should look for lotions with exfoliating ingredients or watery formulation instead of creams. If your skin tends to be dry, look for a cream because they tend have higher oil in the formulation for intense moisturizing.
