Winter can be a real magical and beautiful time of the year. Crisp frosty mornings, silent snow falls and evenings by a crackling fireplace with a cup of tea and a favourite book. Winter is a time for wrapping up in cosy blankets, warm fluffy sweaters and having fun in the snow!

It is also a time when our skin needs a little extra care and attention to stay healthy and hydrated. The cold dry air and lower temperatures can irritate and dehydrate our skin resulting breakouts, redness and accelerate the aging process.

To protect our skin we need to remember a few really important things. In this article, we want to give you some of our expert advice on how to take care of your skin during the winter season.

Keep your skin away from snow or cold wind – when you go outside, remember to wear gloves, a hat, and a scarf! You should be dressed warmly. Your body will thank you for that.

Sunscreen not only for summer – usually, we associate sunscreen as a necessary item to be used during the summer. That is not true! We should put sunscreen on our skin all year long. The winter sun is as dangerous as the summer sun as snow reflects up to 80% more UV light.

Don’t forget about moisturizing – one of the most important things to do in winter is moisturizing your skin on a daily basis. After a shower, it is good to use cream or ointment. Remember about hands! In the winter months, our hands can be really dry and chapped. Put some hand cream after each washing and before going out. If your hands are very dry and need strong moisturize apply a thick layer of hand cream under cotton gloves before going to bed. We assure you that after a few nights of this kind of treatment the results will be amazing!

Winter must-have? Lip balm! – Lip balm should be our best friend. Dry lips can crack and become painful. Lip balm creates a protective barrier between our lips and cold, winter weather. Using lip balm before lipstick will make your lips feel and look so much better!

Drink water – We all enjoy hot drinks like coffee, tea and hot chocolate more often during the winter season and tend to drink less water. Our skin needs water to stay hydrated from the inside out. Try a glass of hot water with added lemon or mint even green tea.

Humidify the air in your home – During the fall and winter, central heating is warming in our homes, which will remove moisture from the air. This can cause problems with dry and itchy eyes as well as dry skin or hair. This is a big problem, especially in winter. To prevent this, we recommend using an air humidifier, which will raise the level of humidity in the room and significantly improve the comfort of our skin and quality of sleep.

Add some serum to your skincare routine – Serums should be used to strengthen the action of the cream. The role of this product is to prepare the skin for cream and other products used in our skincare routine. We especially recommend a serum with vitamin C to nourish and brighten grey skin.

Limit hot baths – During the winter, a hot bath seems like a great way to warm up and relax, but taking frequent baths or showers in hot water can strip your skin of its natural oils. Therefore, we should reduce the temperature and be sure to use lotion!
