Cold weather is here to stay and one of the most common side effects is your skin feeling dryer than normal. Like the seasons, our skin can change throughout the year but it’s no reason to panic.
Transforming your skin back to healthy and hydrated is as easy as following a few simple steps that you can work into your winter skincare routine. Here are our top tricks for revealing your gorgeous glow even in the dryest of months!
A Hydrating Cleanser
A traditional cleanser is one that foams up but one of the worst side effects is dry, flakey skin. Traditional cleansers and soap are made with lots of surfactants and chemicals which strip your skin of its natural oils and mess with your pH balance.
To combat dryness from your cleansing routine, use our Lavender Oil Cleanser twice daily. How does it differ from other cleansers? Formulated with lavender oil, tea tree oil, and peppermint oil, it delivers a healthy dose of hydration as it washes away dirt, makeup and free radicals from your face.
A DIY Mask
Masking is having its moment in the spotlight right now and for good reason. A face mask can help manage all sorts of skin issues ranging from dryness to acne and even anti-aging. While some masks can end up costing a small fortune from drugstores or Sephora, you can try to achieve the same results at home with ingredients you already own.
One of our favorites for dry skin is a coconut oil and honey mask which can be whipped up in a matter of minutes. All you’ll need is 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and 1.5 tablespoons of honey. Mix the two together and apply to your face with your fingers or a masking brush and leave on for about five minutes. The powerful hydrating properties of those two ingredients will leave skin glowing and hydrated!
Great Moisturizer Ingredients
There are lots of options for a moisturizing cream on the market but many of them lack an important key to success…proper ingredients. Drugstore brands fill products with chemicals, sulfates, and even parabens. If you’re looking to combat dry skin, these types of ingredients will only make the problems you already see worse.
In order for your skin to really become nourished and feel more hydrated, it will take the power of ingredients like shea butter, argan oil, and sea buckthorn, which are all-star ingredients in our best-selling Repair & Release Cream. Ingredients like those help penetrate deeper than just the top layer of your skin, which can help improve the overall health of your skin’s moisture barrier. Using our Repair & Release Cream twice daily should help relieve your skin and help you glow no matter how dry the cold winter air becomes.
