The End To Dry Skin
Do you notice your skin feels dry, tight, or uncomfortable in the winter months? You are not the only one! Falling temperatures and humidity levels can really irritate the skin on your face. However, with a little more time and work, it is still possible to have soft skin - even in the winter. Selecting the right skin care products can help you deal with that dry winter skin. Here are a few simple steps to keep your skin glowing all year long.
To start, always look for for a non-foaming cleanser. Any product that foams is not suitable for dry skin. It means it has detergent in it, and detergent will only dry the skin out more. A milky or creamy cleanser takes off makeup effectively, but will not dry the skin out. It is different than a foaming cleanser, so it may take some getting used to. Apply a small amount of the product to dry skin. Massage it in, then rinse or tissue it off. Use the cleanser two times a day - in the morning and at night.
Second, after a thorough cleansing, apply a non-drying toner. Toners are an important step in your beauty routine. They eliminate any excess cleanser, and prepare your skin for treatment products and moisturizers. The toner balances your skin's pH level, making sure your skin can accept moisturization properly.
For daytime, use a hydrating cream. This is very important! Your moisturizer is the only barrier between your skin and the harsh elements. I like to select a cream that soaks in to my skin, so I don't have to worry about looking shiny throughout the day.
At night, use a separate night cream. It will be a little heavier than your day cream, but in the evening you don't have to worry about makeup running off or your face looking shiny. Plus, when you get up in the morning, your skin will feel fabulous!
Keeping your skin healthy in the winter does not have to be difficult. You just have to make sure you are using the appropriate products.
