With winter brings the holiday season, snowstorms, and hot chocolate. However, the chill and dry air of winter can wreak havoc on your skin. Struggling with dry skin is all too common during the winter months, but you don’t have to suffer through it. Here are some of our top ways you can keep your skin hydrated this winter:
Use a High-Quality Moisturizer
A thick, quality moisturizer can work wonders for keeping your skin hydrated all winter long. Moisturizer should be applied morning and night, within minutes of washing your face or taking a shower. If you generally use a lighter cream, you may want to consider a thicker formula for the winter months if you find yourself struggling with dry skin.
Use Warm, not Hot Water when Washing your Face
We are all tempted to take a hot shower during the chilly winter months, but hot water can suck moisture from your skin. Super hot showers or water when washing your face can irritate, especially when it’s irritated from the brisk air. Aim to use a lukewarm to warm water temperature when showering or washing your face, and be sure to apply moisturizer as soon as you finish.
Stay Hydrated
Drinking an adequate amount of water is one of the easiest skincare secrets to follow, especially in the dry winter months. Proper hydration can help the quality of your skin year-round, but it’s particularly important to stay hydrated during the winter to keep your skin nourished.
You can also keep your skin hydrated by investing in a humidifier in your home or office to put moisture back into the air, and help keep your skin hydrated. You can purchase an affordable, small humidifier for hydrated skin anywhere.
Book a Hydrating Facial
Sometimes, your dry skin may be too much to handle without the help of a licensed aesthetician. Our hydrating facials can bring moisture back to even the driest skin. We use a powerful combination of an HA5 rejuvenating hydrator, a collagen mask to soften and plump the skin, and finishes with a Glo restorative moisturizer for a healthy glow. Even if your dry skin is mild, our hydrating facial can help create a healthy, glowy look.
