7 Skin Care Products to Help You Avoid Dry Skin This Winter
When we think of winter skin, the first issue that comes to mind is the profound devitalization and dehydration that affects the majority of us. The cold, wind, low humidity of winter, air travel, use of heat in our home, and increased consumption of alcohol are generally some of the major culprits.
Secondly, the holidays also increase our levels of stress, thus raising our cortisol, which diminishes our skin’s ability to maintain proper hydration leaving the complexion dull.
As weather conditions change, a seasonal review of what we are using in our skincare regime at home is vital. What works in the heat of summer does not always provide enough protection in the winter. Make a shift and implement these wonderful result-oriented products into your skincare! As a general rule, winter calls for mild cleansers, richer moisturizers, calming mists, and boosting serums. Here are some suggestions to assist you with planning your winter skincare routine.
