What Kind of Skincare Products Should You Use in Winter?

As I am one of those who used to suffer from dry skin in every winter. Itchy, flaky skin has become a common scenario every winter for my poor skin.

After disparately trying many products, I finally realized that all matters is the kind of skin care products and not the number of skin care products I use. So, if you are one of those who have a bathroom cabinet full of skin care products, that you tend to apply on your face and body every night, hoping that you will wake up with a baby soft skin, please, read this post first.

The most important part of curing any skin problem is to understand the causes of that problem. If your cleanser irritates your skin, try to switch to a mild cleanser. If you take very hot showers, try to cool the water a little bit or shower for a shorter time. Thus, if you could know what causes dryness to your skin, you will be able to cure your skin and maintain the number one defense system against the environmental dangers.


What Kind of Skincare Products Should you Use in Winter?

 Moisturizer

Moisturizing is the number one key for treating dry skin. You don’t have to overdo that, or use many products all at once. Simply use one good moisturizer that will do all good for your skin. If you use a lightweight lotion in the summer, switch to a heavier cream or ointment in winter. Remember that even oily skin may become dry if treated unproperly during cold seasons. Apply your moisturizer after shower immediately and after you wash your face while your skin is still damp.

Best moisturizers are those containing shea butter, olive oil or cocoa butter.

Cleanser

Cleansing your face is vital for preventing the accumulation of dirt and excess oil in the pores, which may cause the formation of acne. There are simple recommendations for you in order to cleanse your skin and keep the essential oils that it needs.

Mild, unscented and soap free cleansers are the best for your skin because they help to maintain its natural moisture. Moisturizing cleansers are a good choice, too.

Avoid products that contain a high concentration of alcohol. Replace your foaming cleanser with a creamy one (like cleansing milk for example). That way you ensure that your skin does not turn dry after cleansing.

Exfoliator

Try to use exfoliators less frequently during the cold months; scrubbing your face too often leads to losing oils and result in dry skin. Scrubbing further will make it more sensitive, so you should be gentler with your skin by using exfoliators once or twice a week, not more, and avoid physical exfoliators, which contains rough beads (those will irritate your skin and make your skin’s situation worse).

Lip balm

Look for products that contain cocoa butter, vitamins A and E, or beeswax. Before applying, remember to moisten your lips with cool water. This can help keep moist within your lips’ skin. Also, a gentle exfoliator can help remove all dead skin cells.

Prevention is the best medicine, thus applying lotion after washing your hands, taking warm showers rather than hot ones, and applying a creamy moisturizer before drying off maybe all that you need for healthy, soft skin this winter.
