Women ask themselves every time the season changes, “Do I need to change my routine?” Although the attitude is correct, anybody can expect the valid answer to be an unequivocal, “Yes! You do need to re-evaluate your skincare regimen!”

Then, people ask, “Why?”

A change in your beauty regimen is an absolute must most especially during the winter when your skin becomes highly prone to damage. The reasons are simple:

1. The extremely cold, below freezing temp is making your skin behave very differently than how it behaves in spring or summer

2. Every product in your regimen needs to be assessed for winter applicability, that includes getting the right cleanser for skin to survive the winter beating

3. Skin dryness, shedding and flaking needs to be given utmost importance and resolved

The winter skincare rules women must abide by

A Lamour Skin Cream may be an all-season must-have for aging skin but, come winter, it can’t be the only nourishment you give your skin. Time for you to unlearn what you know about skincare so that you can focus on acquiring a new set of information about how best to take care of your skin so that you can beat the harsh winter cold. Here’s how:

Tip No. 1: Cleanse.

To choose the right cleanser for skin to stay supple and youthful in winter, it takes more than just knowing your skin type. You have to identify and acknowledge your specific skin concerns while keeping your routine basic and simple because you are also trying to avoid the harsh ingredients that can make your skin lose much needed hydration.

Tip No. 2: Tone.

Taming your pores is a requirement in winter your pores become too tight as a result of the freezing temp. Let just the right amount of natural oils ooze out of your sebaceous glands to keep the surface of your skin well lubricated.

Tip No. 3: Keep exfoliating.

Now you know, exfoliating was never a huge ‘no, no’ in winter after all. Since dry, flaky skin is a common outcome of the cold weather, your skin will thank you for getting the hard, solid debris off of your skin while also encouraging a younger, softer layer to surface in its place.

Tip No. 4: Scrub.

Just as your face needs exfoliation, so too does the rest of your body require a good scrub. Do this regularly and you’ll notice how soft and silky your skin can get. Let that wind howl!

Tip No. 5: Moisturize.

This winter, your skin can use a long line of hydrating products from your serums and essences, lotions and oils, all the way to heavy creams. Don’t forget to keep adding in your retinol-containing products like Lamour Skin Cream.

So here’s the deal with moisturizing in winter. While you do need to layer your winter skincare with moisturizer after moisturizer, you basically still will need to keep it lean because you don’t want your skin to get irritated and inflamed. So, have at least a quick absorbing and deep penetrating moisturizer like an essence, a serum or an essential oil. Pat and pack into your skin. Then follow through with your more emollient moisturizer. If you have mature skin, this is the perfect place in your winter routine to add in your anti-wrinkle cream.  Except, never use a retinol containing product in the morning.

Tip No. 6: Invest on a humidifier. 

Enhance your skin’s health by making this simple addition to your indoor environments at home and at work. Refrain from subjecting your skin to dried out indoor air and stay away from the outdoors as much as feasible. A humidifier, releases water droplets into the atmosphere which prevents your skin from drying out.

Tip No.7: Wear protective winter gear when going outdoors. 

Of course going outdoors cannot be helped. In which case, make sure to apply a warming moisturizer to keep you protected from the cold while also shielding your skin from harsh winter weather conditions. Use clothing and accessories such as scarves, ear muffs and gloves to add a layer of protection that practically goes in between your skin and the snowy air.
