As the weather gets colder, it is time to start thinking about implementing the top skin care tips for fall. If you’re afraid of the incoming dry air, bitter cold and lack of hydration, don’t worry: there are many ways to combat any harmful effects from the weather and make your skin continue to glow all winter! Here are our top 10 skincare tips for the colder weather:
1. Add a Hydrating Serum
If you’re building your daily skin care routine, or already have an established one, think about adding in a hydrating serum to it. This does wonders to keep the skin youthful and refreshed.
2. Try a Colder Shower
We all love a hot shower in winter, but it can be especially harsh on your skin and dry it out. Try having a warm shower instead of a hot one, and shortening your shower time to protect your skin’s natural oil content.
3. Use a humidifier
Your home’s heating system tends to dry out the air, sapping your skin’s moisture. A humidifier is a great way to keep the air more humid and to help your skin stay hydrated.
4. Moisturize While Wet
Though it sounds crazy, it’s a good idea to apply moisturizer when your skin is well hydrated.
5. Double-Up Your Hand and Foot Care
We can forget about our hands and feet, but they take the brunt of the effects of cold weather! Give them extra care and treatment this winter.
6. Fragrance-Free
Make sure to check that the products you use are free of fragrances, as fragrances added to moisturizing products can be counterproductive. A better idea is to use a single-ingredient solution like argan oil healing spray. This will help avoid irritating your skin.
7. Softer Is Better
Rough polyester and wool clothing might be your go-to choices for fabric in the winter, but a better idea is to wear soft fabrics like cotton underneath. This will help protect the skin from these rough materials.
8. Pump the Antioxidants
Upping your antioxidant intake in the winter is a great way to help protect and repair your skin when it’s cold out. A good rule of thumb is to choose brighter-colored foods- these contain nutrients that help your skin to stay healthy. You can also use our natural vitamin C product, which will both even your skin tone and stimulate the production of collagen!
9. Pat, pat, pat
Good rule of thuWhen drying your skin after cleansing, always pat, never rub.
10. Get Great Sleep
Sleep has miraculous healing benefits for the skin. Regular, deep sleep is the best thing to do to keep your skin healthy all year round. Learn to relax and get as much restful sleep as possible.
