While keeping your glow seems very easy during the warm weather, the same cannot be said about the wintertime. Most people struggle with flaky, dry skin, frizz
Here are tips to solve your beauty problems and be winter-ready.
Hydrate
Such a basic. Not only the cold can be harsh on your skin and dry it, but also the heat in the house can dehydrate you.
Just because it’s raining or snowing outside it doesn’t mean that you’re hydrated on the inside. In fact, you should be more careful about hydration during the winter – as we usually don’t feel as thirsty and get dehydrated very easily.
You can use humidifiers at home to get moisture in the air and keep your skin from drying out.
In the same way, pay attention to your eating, drinking, and sleeping habits, because as we know, if you take care of yourself from within it’s going to show on the outside. Talk to your doctor about what nutritional approach you should be taking to feel and look better during the wintertime.
Moisturize
Having healthy and glowy skin is a must during all seasons, and winter is the ideal time to get deep moisturizing masks, facials, and serums. You’ll probably be at home most of the time, and therefore, be able to leave the mask longer, take all its benefits, and enjoy the soothing effect on your skin.
Additionally, make sure to always carry a lip balm with you. The cold weather makes lips dry and chapped. Use a soothing balm that contains coconut oil, almond oil, shea butter, jojoba oil, or aloe vera to maintain soft lips and avoid windburn.
Exfoliate
Isn’t that a bit intense? No, actually a gentle exfoliation can be super helpful to absorb the moisture into your skin. During the winter, your skin cells dehydrate and die out faster, these dead skin cells can reduce the amount of absorption you get from the products you apply. For this reason, make sure you exfoliate your skin to clean away dead cells to prevent obstruction and to ensure that new cells can come in.
Healthy hair
Another key step to look your best during winter and feel confident on the holidays is having healthy hair. To achieve it and avoid the dreadful frizz you should be doing deep conditioning treatments regularly, perhaps weekly depending on your type of hair.
Facial Treatment
Getting a peel, a HydraFacial, or another special treatment usually works best when you’re not exposed to the sun. So, use the gray days to your advantage to get summer ready in advance!
Follow these tips to boost your natural beauty and remember, it’s more than just pampering, it’s self-care and therefore, self-love.
