Digital Desk: Winter always brings cozy  vibes but can be very challenging for your skin. The cold, breezy air often leaves the skin dry, lacking moisture and glow, rough and often prone to redness and irritation. To keep the skin healthy, soft, and plump it is necessary to follow proper skincare routine. One can follow the guide this winter to keep one’s skin healthy and soft.

 

Step 1: Cleanse Gently
 
 
Begin your regimen with a hydrating cleanser. For winter, creamy or non-drying face washes are the best.
 
Oily/acne-prone skin: Look for cleansers containing green tea, salicylic acid, or niacinamide to regulate oil.
 
Sensitive skin: Use hydrating cleansers with hyaluronic or lactic acid.
 
Dry skin: Opt for cream-based cleansers with glycerin or allantoin.
 
Combination skin: Look for gentle gel cleansers that clean without stripping moisture.

 
Step 2: Hydrate Tone
Toners regulate your skin's pH and prepare it to take in other products more efficiently. Use non-alcoholic toners.

 

Dry skin: Apply toners containing glycerin or hyaluronic acid.
Oily skin: Apply toners containing green tea or astringent.
Sensitive skin: Use rose water or aloe Vera-based toners.

 

Step 3: Serum
Serums target your concerns with active ingredients at concentrated levels.
 
Hyperpigmentation: Apply Vitamin C or Alpha Arbutin serums.
Acne: Apply Niacinamide, as it reduces dark spots and acne marks.
 
Acne: Salicylic acid for oily skin; azelaic acid for dry skin.

 

Step 4: Seal Moisture with Creams
 
Moisturizing is important during the winter months.
 
Oily skin: Use light, gel-based moisturizers.
 
Dry skin: Use rich, creamy moisturizers or face oils.
 
Sensitive skin: Use ceramide-based creams to enhance the barrier of your skin.

 
Step 5: Sunscreen Always Apply SPF 30+ sunscreen on your skin, even in the winter months. Apply to your face, ears, and neck. Additional Care

 

Eye cream: Apply a hydrating cream at night. 

Lip balm: Keep your lips soft by applying it frequently, especially before bed.

 

Winter Tips for Healthy Skin
 
Avoid hot showers, cover up against cold winds, and hydrate from the inside. Switch to richer, nourishing products with ceramides, argan oil, or hyaluronic acid. Treat yourself to face masks once a week to get extra hydration.
