Should You Change Your Winter Skincare Routine? Quick Tips for Hydration
As the weather cools down, you might be wondering if it's time to give your skincare routine a cozy winter makeover. The answer is yes! Just like we swap out our summer wardrobe for cozy knits, our skin also craves a little extra TLC to support the effects of dryness and keep that healthy glow all season long.
Here's what you need to do:
-
Assess Your Skin's Needs
Start by cozying up with your skin and assessing how it feels and looks as the seasons shift. Dryness, flakiness, or extra sensitivity are common signs that your skin needs more hydration during autumn and winter. You might even notice excess oiliness, as oily skin types tend to produce more oil when dry. Understanding your skin's needs is the first step to giving it the winter love it deserves.
-
Incorporate Hydration Essentials
Hydration is the foundation of your skin's resilience, keeping it subtle and hydrated, especially when the temperatures drop. Here are three skincare essentials to add to your routine for that extra hydration:
-
Hydrating Serum: Choose serums packed with ingredients like hyaluronic acid to lock in moisture and fight off winter dryness. Hyaluronic acid also helps to retain moisture, ensuring that your skin absorbs all that skin-quenching goodness
-
Rejuvenation Oil: Treat your skin to a nourishing rejuvenation oil that restores its natural radiance and shields it from winter's chilly air. This product is packed full of antioxidants that soothe and nourish the skin, and is perfect if you suffer excess dryness, eczema or dermatitis, especially if it flares up in the cooler months.
-
Weekly Sheet Mask or Treatment: Give your skin a weekly spa day with a hydrating mask or treatment to replenish moisture and amp up those hydration levels.
