The leaves are past their peak, the clocks have turned back, and colder weather is upon us…oh my!
Follow these 10 tips on surviving dry winter skin – your skin will thank you!
- Limit hot showers.
- Exfoliate for smoother more supple skin.
- Use Sunscreen – it’s not just for summer! Many folks don’t realize the earth is closer to the sun during winter months. Choose SPF with zinc oxide and titanium oxide for broad spectrum such as our Antioxidant Sun Defense 40.
- Try a Gentle Foamy cleanser – the best cleanser ever! It’s gentle and reduces redness.
- Apply Hydra peptide serum – building blocks for collagen. It creates a barrier enhancement.
- Consider an Antioxidant serum with ferulic and vitamin C, brightens skin.
- Select a Hyaluronic Moisturizer – Locks in moisture, combats dry, crepey skin.
- For drier skin, try intense Nia Cream with Vitamin B3.
- Hydrate! This prevents dehydration and TEWL (trans-epidermal water loss).
- Get plenty of sleep – shorter days with less sunlight directly affects the circadian rhythm. Sleep is important to boost immune health and improves mood.
Bonus Tip!
Add Retinol to your regimen! Retinol is a form of vitamin A that has many benefits for the skin. It is especially good at reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
