How To Keep Your Skin Glowing All Winter Long
Could winter be any harsher on our skin? Between the frigid temperatures and the dry, artificial air in our homes, winter is just about the worst time of year when it comes to our complexions. Keeping your skin hydrated, healthy, and supple during the winter can be a challenge, but we at Frends Beauty want to help. Here is our guide on how you can keep your skin glowing all winter long.
Stay Hydrated
The biggest trick when it comes to keeping your skin healthy in the winter doesn't come from anything we sell on our site. The biggest trick is actually to stay hydrated, both inside and out. This means drinking water continuously throughout the day. Furthermore, once we close our windows and turn on our heating systems, our homes tend to become very dry. The easiest way to combat this is by investing in a humidifier, which puts moisture back into the air and, in turn, back into your skin.
Switch Up Your At-Home Spa Game
We all love having nights where we kick back with a glass of tea or wine and give our skin some extra love by having an at-home spa night. However, while this might typically be the time when we use scrubs or acid-based masks, these treatments can be too harsh for the winter season. Instead, switch up your beauty ritual and focus and calming the skin, not deeply cleansing it. Dermalogica skincare offers some great products for doing just that. Their Ultracalming Relief Masque is the ultimate wintertime treatment. Its ultra-soothing ingredients will help to reduce any redness or inflammation that your skin might be experiencing, while simultaneously giving your complexion a boost of hydration and moisture. Follow up with your favorite serum and night cream and you'll wake up with a totally revitalized complexion.
Ditch The Harsh Cleansers
Winter is not the time to use that extra acne-fighting, double salicylic, acid scrub. Instead, give your skin the TLC it needs by using a super gentle cleanser that will wash away makeup and impurities without stripping your skin of its natural oil. We love the Peter Thomas Roth Gentle Foaming Cleanser. Its ingredients ensure that it won't strip your skin, but its foaming properties ensure that it will wash away all of your makeup.
Moisturize Like A Pro
Many people who struggle with acne and oily skin make the mistake of sticking with light and gel moisturizers during the winter months. This can actually make acne worse. When your skin is stripped of moisture, your body can begin overproducing sebum, which can clog your pores and cause new breakouts. Never try to fight acne by drying your skin out. Instead, give your skin the moisture it needs by switching to a thick night cream during the cold months.
Winter can be super tough on the skin, but that doesn't mean that you can't fight back. If you follow the above tips, you can do a serious battle with winter dryness.
