What should you add to your winter skincare routine?
Here is all the information you need to know about what to include in a comprehensive winter skincare routine. We recommend products that have Vitamin C in them as it supports important and well-known functions, stimulating collagen synthesis and assisting in antioxidant protection against UV-induced photodamage. It also improves your wrinkled skin and improves the overall texture and appearance of your skin. In addition, each part of your body needs different special care.
- Body oil or moisturizer- Go for high Vitamin C and Vitamin E content body oil or moisture as it will in maintaining the skin elasticity and will also brighten your skin. Not only this but also improves the skin's barrier function and protects against free-radical-induced damage.
- Face serum or cream- It can be very beneficial to your skin during winter as it increases the moisture level in your skin. Botanical oil-rich face serums can provide the skin with a lot of moisture and nutrients. But if you have an oily skin type, then go for gel-based moisturizers or creams to avoid greasiness.
- Lip balm- During winter, chapped lips is very common so to avoid that use lip balms with SPF which will protect them from getting chapped.
- Hand & Nail cream- Use products made with olive extracts which will keep your hand moisturized and soft. It will make your hands free from dryness and roughness.
- Elbow & Knee cream- Your skin around the elbow and knee tends to get drier and becomes darker during winter so you should apply a cream that is crafted with peptide 68 and Vitamin C to make it softer, smoother, and bright.
- Foot cream- During this cold and dry weather, your heels tend to crack and make them flaky. To avoid such flakiness and dullness use a foot cream made with Urea which will heal your cracked heel and prevent it from happening. Willow bark is also very beneficial to your feet as it has properties like removing dead skin cells.
- Cleanser- Look for a rich and creamy cleanser that will help to remove excess oil and dirt from your skin without stripping off the moisture.
- Chafing cream- Due to the seasonal changes, the fabric of your underclothes, long walks, runs, body weight, etc, can cause painful chafing. So use chafing creams fortified with Vitamin C and Ferulic acid which will remove chafing marks and also prevent such from happening in the future.
- Intimate wash & mist- Alike your hands, feet, and face, your intimate area also needs extra care and protection from winter. An intimate wash will keep your genital area clean and the mist will keep your genitals moist and fresh.
