With right skincare products, you don’t need to worry about dry or itchy winter-skin because you can easily transform your winter skincare routine as per your skin’s requirement into a more moisturizing, hydrating, & revitalising one. In this guide, we will understand various skin concerns and know about which products will be required to treat these winter skin concerns that will be beneficial in reviving your skin’s natural glow.
Understanding Winter Skin Woes and Right Products to Treat Them
Before diving into the theory of solutions, Let’s understand what are some of the winter skin problems that all of us go through. The cold winds and low humidity levels strip the skin's natural oils away, causing dehydration. Indoor heating aggravates the situation, perpetuating a cycle of dryness and irritation. Dry skin is characterised by flakiness, rough patches, redness, and, in some cases, painful cracks. Furthermore, a lack of moisture can accentuate fine lines and wrinkles, making your skin appear dull and tired. Due to all these problems, it becomes important to pay attention to your winter skin and switch to the right products for chilly weather.
Now, let’s understand various skin issues that irritate us during winters and which product will solve our winter skin worries!
1. Switch to ‘nourishing Body Wash’ and Say No to Harsh Body Wash & Traditional Soaps
As the winter season begins, our skin begins to crave extra nourishment and care, as the air turns drier making our skin feel dehydrated and itchy all the time, making it extremely important for us to make a shift to specially formulated winter skincare products. That’s why it becomes important to replace your old harsh body wash or traditional soap with a creamy and nourishing body wash that is not going to make your skin dry after bathing. Unlike traditional soaps, cream-based body wash offers a gentle, nourishing, & soothing cleansing experience which makes it the perfect bathing product for winter season. Cream based body washes are specially formulated to ensure that your skin's moisture balance. In short, they have the amazing ability to cleanse the skin without causing dryness. This amazing quality also makes cream based body washes an ideal choice for the people who have sensitive skin.
Cranberry Cream Body Wash
This body wash is the one solution to all your dry skin concerns. You must’ve noticed that during the winter season, when you come out of the hot water shower and towel-dry your skin, it looks white and dry. Also, when you scratch your skin using nails, it shows white lines due to excessive dryness. All this dryness & roughness is caused due to the hot water bath and by using soap or harsh body wash. Cranberry Cream Body Wash is a special creamy-based body wash that ensures skin should feel and stay moisturised, nourished, soft, & hydrated all day long!
2. Lock in Moisture
During winters, most of us moisturise and nourish our skin using creams or body lotions, as these two products are the basic ones that most of us are aware of. But there is much more to explore in nourishment products, and give body butters a try. Body Butter is much thicker than regular lotions, and that’s how it helps to lock in moisture and prevents moisture loss by creating a protective barrier against the cold and dry winds.
Watermelon Body Butter
After a nourishing bathing session, take your skin’s nourishment levels higher with ‘Watermelon Body Butter’. This body butter is a thick, creamy, non sticky moisturizer, infused with watermelon extracts, shea butter, & olive fruit oil. These ingredients are high in fatty acids and antioxidants, which not only hydrate the skin but also help to repair it. Body butter acts as a protective shield in the winter, when the skin is more vulnerable to damage due to harsh weather conditions, keeping the skin soft, supple, and well-moisturised.
3. Say ‘GOODBYE’ to dry-chapped lips with Coffee’s goodness
One of the major concerns during the winter season is the tendency for lips to be excessively chapped and dry. Our lips' skin is thinner and lacks oil glands, making them more prone to moisture loss. Chilly winter winds increase the problem by causing painful cracks and peeling. That’s exactly the concern, which creates the need to keep our lips deeply moisturised and hydrated using a nourishing lip balm.
Coffee Lip Balm
Switching to coffee infused lip balm is not just an amazing way to pamper your lips but more importantly it is a way towards healthy, soft, and supple lips. Since coffee is a natural exfoliator it works wonders in providing your lips the much-needed nourishment. Being a natural exfoliator, coffee helps in removing dead skin cells and ensures that your lips remain soft and smooth in chilly weather. This coffee lip balm is infused with coffee oil and shea butter to offer your lips a unique blend of nourishment and hydration. During the winter season, we all love to sunbathe, and taking care of your sun protection needs, this Lip Balm contains SPF 15, so that you don’t end up having tanned lips.
