As it is time to start bundling up, the excitement for warm cups and winter activities builds. What is not so exciting is the dry and cracked skin that can come with the cold. The winter season is not the time to neglect your skin. If anything, it deserves a little more attention even under cozy sweaters. While everyone’s skin is different, here are a few of our suggestions to keep your skin healthy and happy this season.
First things first, let’s save (our) face. While the rest of your body can stay protected from the weather for most of the season, your face will most definitely be the most exposed area to the elements. A good solid moisturizer is a must in these cold months. There’s a vast selection on the market, each pandering to a different type of skin or need. Whichever one works best for you, be sure to apply a little more than usual both morning and night to keep that moisture locked in and your skin looking happy!
Another major area to keep in mind is your lips. They can easily become dry and cracked in the cold. Lip oils are popular and a great way to keep your lips hydrated and looking lovely. Bitchstix’s lip oil, yes we know, is a perfect solution. The oil is moisturizing and less sticky than your typical gloss. If you want extra softness and care for your lips, the Laneige lip mask is your best friend. Apply at the end of your skincare routine before bed and wake up with the softest lips in town.
Gloves and coat pockets are the go-tos to keeping hands warm, but especially in winter, washing your hands frequently can strip your skin of natural oils and leave them cracked. Our solution: Mani’s all-natural sanitizing hand cream, which leaves your hands feeling refreshed and smooth while disinfecting them. It also makes a perfect and easy gift that is practical and luxurious to any recipient!
While you may stay covered up for most of the season under coats and long dresses and skirts, your body deserves all the moisture as well! Even if no one will see your skin, shiny and healthy skin can be an easy confidence boost. This next item is a fan favorite for most. Riddle’s boujee body oil adds not only extra moisture but shine and a sniffworthy smell no matter the scent you decide on. Use it on its own, or add it to your favorite unscented lotion for double moisture and protection this season.
Sometimes, good skin can be your best accessory and winter is no exception. Whether you choose to use these suggestions or not, keeping your skin protected in the winter season has many benefits including clear and beautiful skin, reducing the signs of aging, and overall skin health. Do it for yourself, your skin will thank you!
