DRY WINTER SKIN
This was the number one complaint from my facial clients last week. Dry winter skin is real, and it’s coming for us all! But don’t worry—I’ve got the perfect game plan to bring back that soft, glowing complexion. Let’s dive in!
5 Essential Steps to Revive Dry Winter Skin
1. Switch to a Hydrating Cleanser
Ditch the harsh, foamy cleansers! Opt for a gentle, fragrance-free formula that cleans without stripping essential moisture. And remember—hot showers may feel amazing, but lukewarm water is your skin’s best friend.
2. Lock in Moisture Like a Pro
Timing is everything! Apply a rich, ceramide-packed moisturizer immediately after washing to seal in hydration. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and shea butter for an extra moisture boost.
3. Bring the Spa to Your Space
Winter air is dry—so fight back with a humidifier! Keeping indoor humidity levels between 40-60% helps prevent your skin from drying out while you sleep (bonus: it’s great for hair and sinuses too!).
4. Exfoliate—But Keep It Gentle
Flaky skin? A mild exfoliant, like lactic acid or a soft washcloth, can help remove dead skin cells. But less is more—limit exfoliation to 1-2 times per week to avoid irritation.
5. Protect and Defend
Cold air and wind? Gloves, scarves, and nourishing lip balm are must-haves. And don’t forget sunscreen! UV rays don’t take a winter break, and sun damage can make dry skin even worse.
By following these simple and effective steps, you’ll keep your skin soft, smooth, and radiant all winter long!
