Your Ultimate Guide to Winter Skincare

Embracing Radiant Winter Skin: Your Ultimate Guide to Winter Skincare

As winter arrives with its chill in the air, our skincare routine needs a seasonal upgrade to combat the harsh effects of the cold weather. The drop in temperature, combined with indoor heating, can leave your skin feeling dry, dull, and in need of a TLC boost. In this blog, we’ll explore effective winter skincare tips to help you maintain a healthy and radiant complexion throughout the colder months.

1. Hydration is Key!

One of the primary challenges during winter is keeping your skin hydrated. Cold air and indoor heating can strip your skin of its natural moisture, leading to dryness. To help prevent this, incorporate a rich, hydrating moisturizer into your daily & nightly routine. Look for products with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and ceramides to lock in moisture and create a protective barrier against the elements. Our Intensive Nourishing Cream by Epionce adds a luxe-level hydration to your skin.

2. Be Gentle With Cleansing

While it’s essential to keep your skin clean, harsh cleansers can exacerbate dryness during winter. Use a gentle, hydrating cleanser that doesn’t strip away the skin’s natural oils. Consider using a cleansing oil or balm, which effectively remove impurities without compromising your skin’s moisture balance. Our Gentle Foaming Cleanser by Epionce and Cleansing Gel by Skinbetter are both great options!

3. Light Exfoliate Only!

Exfoliation is crucial year-round, but it’s especially important in winter to remove dead skin cells and encourage cell turnover. Choose a mild exfoliant with ingredients like alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) to promote a smooth and radiant complexion. Limit exfoliation to only 1-2 times a week to avoid over-drying your skin. Our Detoxifying Scrub Mask by Skinbetter is a perfect option for light exfoliation.

4. Sunscreen is Non-Negotiable, Really

Despite the colder temperatures, UV rays can still damage your skin. Make sunscreen an essential step in your winter skincare routine. Search for a broad-spectrum SPF of at least 30 and apply it daily, especially on exposed areas like your face, neck, and hands. EltaMD is the #1 dermatologists-recommended SPF line on the market. Choose from one of our options today!

5. Humidify or Dry Out!

Indoor heating systems can significantly contribute to dry skin. Invest in a humidifier to add moisture to the air at home and prevent your skin from drying out. This investment in your home can make a noticeable difference in the overall health of your skin.

6. Nourish Through and Through

Remember, healthy skin starts from within! Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, and incorporate foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants into your diet. These nutrients support your skin’s health & overall well-being.

7. Customize Your Line-Up

Winter skincare isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. Pay attention to your skin’s specific needs and adjust your routine accordingly. If you begin experiencing extreme dryness, consider adding a hydrating serum to your regimen for an extra boost of nourishment.

As winter settles in, adapting your skincare routine is essential for maintaining a radiant complexion. By prioritizing hydration, gentle cleansing, mild exfoliation, UV protection, and overall skin nourishment, you can overcome the challenge of colder months and greet spring with healthy, glowing skin! Embrace winter with confidence, knowing that your skincare routine is tailored to protect and enhance your skin’s natural beauty.

  Eat healthy, drink water, get good sleep- and go see Jen Golin at Splendid Skin!  I am 53 and she has taken care of my skin since my 40’s and she is truly the best at what she does.  If you don’t want to look ‘done’ but want to look refreshed and well rested- go see Jen!

  I have been going to Splendid Skin for over a year now, and every time I go it seems to get better and better! All of the staff is so wonderful and welcoming. Courtney is my injector, and she’s the absolute best! She started my lip filler and botox journey last October. She’s incredibly knowledgeable about each service she offers, and I’ve never left with any questions unanswered. I like to explore my options, but I never feel pressured to get a service done that I don’t want, and that’s so important when it comes to your body! Every day I get to go see Courtney is a great day in my books. I love my results more and more each time. Definitely found my home here, my forever go to girl, and I can’t wait to try more services they offer!
