Adjust your skincare routine for winter

All routines are adapted to the situation, in the case of facial care we must take into account different factors such as our skin type, whether we have redness, acne, signs of aging, dryness in localized areas… taking into account our external environment, so in the different seasons, especially when we talk about summer and winter, our skincare routine has to change.

During winter, the skin has several causes, including the shocks of temperature contrasts when moving from indoors to outdoors or the icy cold of some seasons that cause dryness and dehydration. Some of the symptoms we may notice on our skin are: redness, some patches of extremely dry or itchy skin.

The first step we need to adjust is the cleanser, in general we usually use a liquid, gel or micellar water cleanser for the rest of the year, but in winter the most recommended is a milk or cream cleanser. This change will bring much more hydration into our routine and prevent dry skin or skin with some spots.

Chanel’s anti-pollution makeup remover milk is one of the ideal options that we can opt for if we want to achieve deep cleansing and hydration. Removes all types of makeup, including any waterproof or long-wear product, removes impurities or dirt caused by external pollution and has a very creamy texture.

Like the cleanser, we need to change our moisturizer. Especially in summer, because of the heat and excessive sweating, we feel like using creams with very light textures, which do not cause a heavy feeling on our skin and give us a lot of freshness. In winter, the opposite happens, we begin to notice tight and dry skin, we start looking for products with a much richer and denser texture that gives us deep hydration.

Clinique Moisture Surge 100 Hours Self Rehydrating Gel-Cream is one of the options to achieve that deep hydration we are talking about. Its gel texture makes it a light cream but which in turn penetrates deeply, passing through more than 10 layers of our skin and lasting up to 100 hours. Contains aloe in large quantities and hyaluronic acid.

When we think of facial mists, our thoughts go straight to summer, we feel that it is a very summery product due to its format, a refreshing spray that makes the skin glow, ideal for hot weather, but also ideal for cold weather . In the winter, face mists can provide extra hydration that you couldn’t get with other products. The only factor to consider is that they are not just made up of water, they must contain some ingredients that can help retain moisture in the skin.

Mario Badescu’s facial mist of aloe vera, aromatic plants and rose water is perfect for this time. The extra hydration comes from thyme and rose, two of the main ingredients.
