Winter Skincare Hacks

/

If you are like most people, your skin takes a beating in the winter. The harsh climate, changing of temperatures and lifestyle changes all impact the health of your skin. Every winter, my everyday skincare routine changes a bit as I adapt to the changing season. There are three things that I do religiously into my skincare routine: Hydrate, Exfoliate, and Protect. These steps are very important to do in all seasons but in the winter, I amp up my products to fit the season.

Hydrate+

Hydrating is SO important on all levels of health and wellness. Since we aren’t as active in the winter, many people lessen their water intake. We actually should be doing the opposite! Focus on drinking tons of water and add some lemon juice or essential oil to gain even more hydrating and detoxification benefits! As you hydrate your body, you can’t forget to also hydrate your skin! In the winter, I swap out my daily moisturizer to a much thicker moisturizer that works on replenishing the skins natural barrier.  I use R+F's Soothe Sensitive Skin Treatment and I absolutely love it! I also use a thick body moisturizer from the The Body Shop that keeps my skin moisturized for a good 24 hours.

Exfoliate+

Since the weather is more dry, more dead skin will pile up which means you need to exfoliate regularly! What happens when you don’t exfoliate? Dead skin builds up and can cause clogged pores, acne, and oily skin. Make sure to exfoliate 2-3 times a week with a high quality oil-free exfoliator. I use two different exfoliating products during the winter. One of them is specifically for my face (R+F's Deep Exfoliating Wash) and the other I use on my whole body (Frank's Coffee scrub)! Check out the links below to the specific products.

Protect+

Many people get lazy or forget to put SPF on their skin because of the cold rainy or snowy weather. UV rays are actually really harsh in the wintertime and so it is imperative that you use a moisturizer with SPF on your face at ALL times of the year! I LOVE R+F's Triple Defense Treatment  because it not only protects my skin from the sun and other environmental stressors, but it also has amazing preventative anti-aging ingredients.
