WINTER SKINCARE TIPS FOR ALL SKIN TYPES AND AGES
As the weather changes, so does our skin. We experience drastic changes that cause skin damage, and unwanted premature skin aging! The winter brings along its freezing temperatures, cold winds and indoor conditions that make our skin dry.
Even those with oily skin are not spared from dryness because of these seasonal changes! There is absolutely no need to feel down with the weather, because there are ways to counter, prevent, treat and balance the damage that our skin may experience in winter.
Simply pay attention to the different skin needs and conditions that start to arise. This will make you identify the proper treatment and skincare to apply, so you can look great, feel confident even during this chilly winter season!
Embrace and stick to your skincare routine, but make a few small tweaks for winter!
FOR DRY SKIN
Winter is the worst time of year if you have dry skin. All the dryness and itchiness can be uncomfortable and frustrating!
What you need is to keep your skin moisturized and hydrated as much as possible. Use a moisturizer that can lock in much needed hydration. There is no such thing as over moisturizing in winter, especially if you have dry skin! Bring your moisturizer wherever you go and apply it whenever you feel your skin is becoming dry.

FOR OILY SKIN:
Oily skin is not spared from winter dryness. This becomes one of those times when you may have to treat your skin like combination skin.
There is also a condition wherein the skin tends to be oily and dehydrated at the same time. When the skin lacks water, it tries to produce more oil to lubricate and moisturize the skin. This can appear as having oily skin, but it is the body system doing its work to balance what seems to be lacking. This is when one experiences oily-dehydrated skin.

FOR COMBINATION SKIN:
In winter, a combination skin type appears more like dry skin. Full on moisturizing and hydrating is needed, especially in the eye area. This is because you may not have been applying your moisturizers on your nose and forehead areas as intensely compared to the drier areas of your skin in the past months.
If your T-zone feels dry during the season, moisturize it as you would the other areas. Be sure to hydrate the sensitive skin around your eyes with gels or creams!

FOR SENSITIVE SKIN:
Sensitive skin becomes more sensitive during extreme weather conditions like in winter and summer. During these times, avoid doing anything that can worsen your skin conditions like physical exfoliation, or vigorously rubbing your skin with harsh chemicals and materials.
Also, avoid hot showers because it will totally dry out your skin! A gentle cleanser, and a rinse with lukewarm water is what sensitive skin needs this season.

Dull skin is the most common skin condition in winter. The solution is to exfoliate and get rid of the dead skin cells that continuously accumulate in your pores. If skin is dry, exfoliating once a week may be enough, followed by your moisturizer.

FOR THOSE IN THEIR 20S AND 30S
Younger and more resilient skin is not necessarily safe from the damage brought about by harsh winter conditions.
Skin is still vulnerable to dryness, and all the discomforts the season brings! Add extra layers of toners, eye creams or gels and moisturizers during your skin regimen, and apply them whenever necessary! This will ensure that your skin is hydrated all throughout the season.
OUR PICK: BALANCING FACIAL TONER with Chamomile extracts ($15.95)

ANTI-AGING
If your skin regimen is for anti aging altogether, dry skin in winter will certainly hasten skin aging! There is also a trick to make sure this does not happen!
Carry your toner wherever you go and spritz on whenever the skin feels or looks dry! Spritz more on areas where wrinkles and lines are more deep seated like the forehead and around the eyes. This is an easy and fast way to make sure skin is hydrated whenever and wherever.
Also, apply extra layers of moisturizers at night. Use moisturizers that repair more deeply into the layers of the skin.
