Nourishing Your Glow: Winter Skin and How to Keep It Hydrated

As winter settles in, so does the challenge of maintaining radiant, well-hydrated skin. The crisp air and low humidity can leave your skin feeling dry and dull. Fear not; we have your winter skincare guide to keep that natural glow alive.

Hydration from Within

Start by ensuring your body is well-hydrated. Increase your water intake to combat the dehydrating effects of indoor heating and cold winds. A well-hydrated body reflects in the health of your skin.

Also, essential fatty acids, like omega-3 and omega-6, are extremely important for keeping your skin barrier moisturized. You can find these in flaxseed, walnuts, and fatty fish, like salmon.

Avoid Hot Showers

While tempting in cold weather, hot showers can strip your skin of their natural oils. Opt for lukewarm water instead to prevent further dehydration. Pat your skin dry rather than rubbing and apply moisturizer immediately afterward to lock in the moisture.

Humidify Your Indoor Space

Indoor heating can contribute to dry skin. Use a humidifier to add moisture to the air, preventing your skin from becoming overly parched.

Rich Moisturizers Are Key

If you use a lightweight moisturizer in the summer, well, it’s time to switch to a richer, more nourishing one. Look for products with ingredients like shea butter, hyaluronic acid and natural oils. For optimum results, these active ingredients should be closer to the top of the list on the packaging. 

Hydrating Serums for an Extra Boost

Introducing a hydrating serum into your routine could be a great way to up your hydration game. Serums penetrate deeply, providing intense moisture. Ingredients like aloe vera, vitamin C and chamomile can work wonders for replenishing and revitalizing your skin.

Eminence Organics’ Strawberry Rhubarb Hyaluronic Hydrator provides a fresh dewy finish, as it gives that extra boost of hydration.

Exfoliate, Exfoliate, Exfoliate

Regular exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells that can accumulate during winter. Plus, the drier your skin, the more important it is for you to exfoliate.

Now, don’t overdo it. Choose a gentle exfoliator to avoid stripping your skin of essential oils. Exfoliation enhances the absorption of moisturizers, leaving your skin smoother and more receptive to hydration. The key word is GENTLE.

Don’t Forget the Sunscreen

Sunscreen isn’t just for summer. Let’s repeat that: Sunscreen isn’t just for summer. UV rays are present even on cloudy winter days. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful effects. Don’t forget to reapply! 

Winter doesn’t have to mean sacrificing your skin’s vibrancy. With a few adjustments to your skincare routine and the right products, you can face the colder months with confidence, knowing your skin is well-hydrated and ready to shine. Embrace the season while keeping your glow intact!
