Is Your Skincare Routine Cold Weather Ready? With fall in full swing, you probably switched out most of the clothing in your closet weeks ago; but did you change anything about your skincare routine? As the seasons shift, fluctuations occur in your skin that can require an adjustment in the products you use to keep looking your best and properly defend against the elements. For example, this is the time where someone with typically oily skin may notice that their skin becomes more normal or even a bit dry. Here are a few things to consider when you’re looking to bring your beauty arsenal up to par for the cooler months: 1. Change your moisturizer: Dry, cool air and brisk winds can very quickly dehydrate the skin leaving you with a dull, rough complexion. Opting for a thick, rich quality moisturizer will provide hydration that stays locked into the skin for extended protection from the elements. 2. Exfoliate regularly: As cold weather pulls moisture from the skin, it can lead to dry, cracked skin which is often painful and unflattering. In addition to using a good moisturizer, you should also exfoliate both your face and body to remove dead skin cell buildup. Also, by consistently exfoliating it will allow your other skincare products to penetrate deeper and become more effective. Oh – and don’t forget about those chapped winter lips! Help slough dry skin from your lips with a gentle sugar scrub. You can quickly make one yourself with a simple combination of olive oil and sugar. 3.

Is Your Skincare Routine Cold Weather Ready?

With fall in full swing, you probably switched out most of the clothing in your closet weeks ago; but did you change anything about your skincare routine? As the seasons shift, fluctuations occur in your skin that can require an adjustment in the products you use to keep looking your best and properly defend against the elements. For example, this is the time where someone with typically oily skin may notice that their skin becomes more normal or even a bit dry. Here are a few things to consider when you’re looking to bring your beauty arsenal up to par for the cooler months:

1. Change your moisturizer: Dry, cool air and brisk winds can very quickly dehydrate the skin leaving you with a dull, rough complexion. Opting for a thick, rich quality moisturizer will provide hydration that stays locked into the skin for extended protection from the elements.

2. Exfoliate regularly: As cold weather pulls moisture from the skin, it can lead to dry, cracked skin which is often painful and unflattering. In addition to using a good moisturizer, you should also exfoliate both your face and body to remove dead skin cell buildup. Also, by consistently exfoliating it will allow your other skincare products to penetrate deeper and become more effective.

Oh – and don’t forget about those chapped winter lips! Help slough dry skin from your lips with a gentle sugar scrub. You can quickly make one yourself with a simple combination of olive oil and sugar.

3. Remember to personalize: When trying to determine just exactly how you should revamp your beauty routine and with what products; remember to consider your age, skin type and personal needs. There are endless options on the market, so it’s important to do your research. If you’re unsure of exactly what will work best for you, estheticians can offer individualized recommendations12.
