While staying inside under a warm blanket is what everyone dreams of, the harsh reality is that at some point we need to go outside and face the cold, dry air. Along with making the walk to your car miserable, the winter wreaks havoc on your skin. Often the skin care products that you use from the spring until the fall do not target the areas that your skin needs the most help with during the colder months. To help you maintain and protect your healthy, glowing skin, our skin care professionals at Green City have provided some changes you can make to your routine.
Night Cream: While you may love the scent that lingers from the day moisturizing lotion you typically use, a few times a week you should substitute it for your night cream. As the ingredients in these creams provide increased hydrating and nourishing properties, occasionally using them during the day will provide your skin with the extra moisture it needs to get through a cold winter’s day.
Serums: As serums are designed to maintain the skin’s natural moisture barrier and prevent water loss throughout the day, they are great to use when you know you will be spending any amount of time outside. Among the various affordable skin care options in our Philadelphia salon, you can find several serums that contain hyaluronic acid or chia seed oil, which will help provide maximum protection.
Facial Oils: Since the winter air is notorious for drying out the natural oils (sebum) that our body produces, it is important to make sure you compensate for that loss. There are several natural oils that are very similar to the skin’s sebum, such as jojoba oil, sunflower oil, and rose hip oil. Not only will adding one of these to your daily routine help prevent your skin from drying out, they also will not clog your pores.
By making these changes to your daily skin care routine, you can put an end to the dry winter air ruining your complexion. If you are still having trouble after following these tips, stop by for Skin Conditioning and Sugar Hair Removal services at our Philadelphia salon.
