Winter Beauty Tip
Getting a good dose of Vitamin C is not only important to help build your immunity and ward off seasonal colds, but it can help brighten your skin and increase collagen production. Also, look for ingredients like Meadowfoam or nut oils that are rich in Vitamin E to help your skin lock in moisture and protect it from the extreme outdoor and indoor temperature changes.
Winter Skin Symptoms
During the winter, skin tries to adapt to the extreme weather and temperature conditions like cold air, wind and indoor heaters. When it’s not able to cope, skin will begin drying, chapping, flaking and getting irritated. Your skin also thickens with a build up old dead, pigmented skin cells to create its own protective barrier, so it looks dull and rough. And since it’s difficult to maintain moisture levels and skin elasticity in the winter, this is the time when signs of aging, like wrinkles, sagging and hyper pigmentation, may appear more pronounced.
Winter Skincare Solutions
Stimulate and Circulate:
Facial massage and stimulating ingredients* like mint, ginger or cinnamon helps blood flow and deliver oxygen to the face. This not only helps bring color to the face, but it helps strengthen the facial muscles to lift and tighten sagging skin.
Repair & Regenerate:
Exfoliating skin regularly will help remove dead skin cells to bring new skin cells to the surface and allow your treatments to sink into your skin more efficiently. Then look for products that are rich in Omegas, Antioxidants and Vitamins to feed your skin important nutrients that will calm any inflammation and begin healing itself.
Hydrate & Protect:
Layer different textures of hydrating products from lightest to heaviest – lotion spray, treatment oils and moisturizer. The creates a “slow drip” effect to keep skin hydrated, and it creates an effective barrier to protect skin from the elements.
*if you have sensitive skin, you should conduct a patch test with these ingredients
