Seasons change and they require our skincare to keep up too. With the onset of the chilly weather, our skin can face some additional concerns.

Along with a drop in temperature, winters are accompanied by dry air. This shift in the weather may not be favourable for our skin. In winter skin gets flaky, dry, dull, and irritated. To combat the chill, you don’t need a completely new routine, all you need is to take extra care and include more hydrating and moisturising products in your regime. 

Here’s how you can amp up your skincare game to beat the chill with ease: 

Start with a gentle cleanser: a calm and gentle cleanser goes a long way. It eliminates dirt from the skin without aggressively stripping the skin’s natural moisture barrier. Humid weather always makes your skin dry, so it’s necessary to start off with something soothing and calming. 

Incorporate a hydrating serum: serums rich in hydration like hyaluronic acid provide ample hydration to beat flaky and dry skin. Meanwhile, don’t forget to keep yourself hydrated as well. Drink adequate amounts of water and fluids to stay hydrated. 

Facial oils: for dry skin types, facial oils can be a lifesaver in winter. Oils nourish the skin while trapping moisture. Using the right oil can help you achieve healthy and radiant skin as you step into the cold weather. 

Rich moisturisers: using a moisturiser is the most basic and essential step of skincare during the cold. Using a rich and long-lasting moisturiser can help avoid dry patches and flakiness. 

Lip care: chapped lips are one of the most common concerns during winter. While neither of us would like dry and chapped lips, it’s necessary to focus on lip care. Exfoliate your lips to eliminate dead cells and use a nourishing lip balm to get plump, healthy, and juicy lips. 

Every day is SPF day: just because there’s a dip in the temperature, doesn’t mean the sun isn’t coming out. Even during winter, it’s essential to use a broad-spectrum SPF to keep your skin protected. 

As you incorporate these steps into your face skincare routine, don’t forget your body. Give your body a nourishing and moisturising experience with body lotions and body oils. Dry skin types should include rich lotions and oils to keep the skin well moisturised. 

Change is inevitable. It’s necessary to adjust your routine to the changing seasons to maintain healthy skin. As much as we love the cosy winters, our skin may not love it all the same. All your skin needs is a little bit of extra care and love during winter. 

Follow the aforementioned tips and step into the frost with ease.
