Cold Winter Skin Care Tips

In winter, as temperatures and humidity drop, skin moisture evaporates quickly, exacerbating dryness. Maintaining your skin barrier is crucial during this time. Avoid hot water when washing your face and use a mild, slightly acidic cleanser. After washing, apply moisturizer before your face dries completely to prevent moisture loss. Gently pat toner in rather than wiping it off, and finish with a cream containing ceramides, panthenol, and hyaluronic acid. Indoor heating can also dry out the air, so using a humidifier and drinking plenty of water are also important. If your skin feels rough, moisturizing naturally rather than scrubbing is more effective in reducing skin irritation.
