Skin challenges in winter:

Winter is harsh on the skin. Dry and wet environments tend to contribute to dull and flaky derma texture. Our skin is also more sensitive and dry when there is low humidity causing a decrease in oil production. It is essential to moisturize and protect the lining of the skin using suitable skincare products.

Basic Skincare Products for Winter

1. Silk cream

Silk cream is a rich skincare product characterized by its smooth texture that caresses the skin. A day-night silk cream is prepared with silk proteins, vitamins, and natural oils designed to feed and moisturize the skin.

Benefits of Silk Cream

• Deep Moisture: The silk cream provides deep moisture to the skin that penetrates the skin effectively. Silk proteins help retain moisture that gives the skin a soft feel and supple texture.
• Reinforced Natural Skin Barrier: It will enhance the protective strength of the skin's natural barrier, which is important for stopping moisture loss in the winter seasons.
• Reduces irritation: For people with sensitivities, silk cream will help soothe irritation and redness developed from dry air and even cold weather.

How to apply Silk Cream

To include silk cream in your winter skincare routine, apply a generous amount after cleansing and toning. Massage the cream into your face and neck gently in the morning and night as well. If you feel your skin is dry or tight throughout the day, you may apply it again for hydration.

2. Hydrating Moisturizer

A skincare product that locks in moisture and keeps the skin hydrated. It contains humectants like glycerin and hyaluronic acid, which draw moisture to the skin, and emollients and occlusives that prevent moisture loss.

Benefits of a Hydrating Moisturizer

• Long-lasting Hydration: These moisturizers provide significant hydration and keep your skin moisturized throughout the day.
• Plump Skin: Well-hydrated skin gives the appearance of being plumpy and youthful, particularly ideal in fighting the lackluster often seen with winter.
• Healthy Skin Texture: A daily usage of good hydrating moisturizer revives the general texture of the skin. It is smoother, radiant, and healthy in outlook.

How to use a Hydrating Moisturizer

First, apply the silk cream or hydrating serum, and then apply a little pea-sized amount of hydrating moisturizer to your skin and neck. Use it in the morning as well as at night to hydrate all your skin. Do not miss to apply the moisturizer to skin areas around your eyes—you can apply many moisturizers sparingly to this delicate zone.

3. Body Polisher

A body polisher is a scrubbing product intended for use on the body. It helps remove dead skin cells, revealing soft, smooth skin underneath. Body polishers may contain sugar, salt, or other granular ingredients and often include oils to hydrate.

Benefits of a Body Polisher

1. Exfoliation: Regular use of a body polisher removes dead skin cells, which is very important during winter when the skin can look dry and flaky.
2. Increased Absorption: Exfoliating prepares the skin so that subsequent moisturizers and creams will penetrate the skin more easily.
3. Blood Circulation: Massaging a body polisher into the skin can improve blood flow, which promotes good health in the skin.

How to Use a Body Polisher

Use a body polisher in the shower 1-2 times a week. Apply the product to damp skin, massaging it in circular motions. Apply it on particularly dry areas such as the elbows and knees. Rinse well and follow up with a hydrating body lotion to lock in moisture.

Basic Steps for Winter Skincare

Keeping skin healthy during winter is achieved through consistent skincare routines. The steps that should be followed are

1. Cleaning: Use a Gentle cleanser that does not take away the natural oils that your skin needs to thrive. In winter, prefer cream-based or soothing cleansers.
2. Toning: Hydrating toners help regain lost moisture after cleaning. Select alcohol-free toners for non-drying skin effects.
3. Serum: Consider incorporating a serum rich in antioxidants or hydrating ingredients. Serums can provide an extra layer of moisture and nourishment.
4. Moisturizing: Use silk cream followed by a hydrating moisturizer to lock in moisture and keep your skin soft and supple.
5. Exfoliation: Use a body polisher once or twice a week to maintain smooth skin. For the face, consider a gentle exfoliant suitable for sensitive winter skin.
6. SPF Protection: In winter, also UV rays damage your skin. So apply an SPF sunscreen every day regardless of the season.
