The changing seasons can be fun and exciting, but then the toll it takes on your skin makes it much less enjoyable. Take winter. No matter where you live, it is likely that temperatures and humidity levels change. For most, it means colder weather, heating systems indoors, lower
humidity levels, and days of brilliant, reflected sunlight.
These conditions can leave the skin dry, windburned, dehydrated, and even damaged by UVB and UVA rays.
No matter where you live, your winter skincare survival kit has to include the five following products:
Lip Balm
Lip balm is a necessary product, at least it should be, but its many options are full of potentially dangerous ingredients and compounds. This is particularly worrying when you realize that you lick your lips and swallow the compounds they contain.
The whole purpose of lip balm is to seal moisture into the skin and prevent cold, wind, and dry air from causing lips to peel, redden and chapped.
When you want nothing more than a safe and effective shield or barrier over your lips, you can turn to pure and natural oils and fats. Sunflower oil, beeswax, and coconut oils are all-powerful protectants. Add natural botanicals and oils such as calendula, rosemary, and vitamin E, and you have a highly effective balm.
This Vanilla Bean Certified Organic Lip Balm or the Organic Fresh Mint Lip Balm offers you adequate protection in organic, cruelty-free formulas without any parabens or toxic ingredients.
Sunscreen
It is a frustrating reality that many women put away sunscreen when autumn arrives. Not using sunscreen leaves their skin open to months and months of UVA and UVB damage. Sunscreen helps to prevent premature aging and uneven pigmentation.
The sun's rays can penetrate the deeper layers of the skin and cause unwanted changes. We wear more clothing and are more covered up during the winter months, but you still face exposure whenever we are outdoors, by sunny windows, and riding in the car.
Avoid this by keeping a good supply of SPF 30 sunscreen on hand. This is the level of sun protection needed to offset and prevent premature aging done by the sun.
Apply daily, and reapply midday to the face, neck, upper chest, and hands (as well as any other exposed areas).
Remember, though, that you want formulas that use only the safest ingredients for you and the environment. You can count on Tropical Sands Spray Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 as well as the Sunscreen SPF 30.
The latter nourishes the skin with natural aloe, shea butter, green tea, coconut oil, eucalyptus, and sunflower oil, and jojoba oils, in addition to using natural titanium dioxide and zinc oxide to block UV rays effectively. The former is similarly formulated and features an easy-to-use spray bottle ideal for summer, winter holidays, or fast applications as you dash out the door!
It is also the very first of its kind to use Leucidal Liquid derived from radish root. Leucidal Liquid protects the product and prevents you from dealing with exposure to harmful ingredients.
The Ultimate Winter Hydration Addition:
Hyaluronic Acid Serum
Hyaluronic acid is a marvel and is often used in beauty treatments for its ability to plump up the skin and help erase fine lines and wrinkles.
It offers incredible amounts of support to the surface through its ability to attract and retain roughly one thousand times its weight in water. This is how it supports elastin and collagen supplies in the dermis – through its intense hydration.
It is an easy way to begin regaining a more youthful appearance. You can apply it directly as a serum or as part of a combination formula meant to add a supple feel and increased moisture to the skin.
Not only does it bring that moisture, but it also helps cells to hold on to the moisture produced by the skin. It is leaving the face and neck looking and feeling healthier and more youthful with each application.
You can find it as a primary component in the following recommended formulas:
Ultra Hyaluronic Acid Plumping Gel – Instantly plumps the skin while delivering long-lasting hydration. Get volume without unnatural fillers or hazardous ingredients. It leaves the skin smooth and supple, with fine lines and wrinkles diminished or erased.
Expression Line Deep Wrinkle Serum – Designed to fade or erase even deep wrinkles, these formulas use hyaluronic acid. It delivers a long list of skin-boosting and volumizing ingredients that include Argireline, Matrixyl 300, and Syn-Ake. Each of which brings rapid improvements where lines and wrinkles are concerned.
Neck Lift and Firm Serum with 20% Pepha Tight – This formula uses hyaluronic acid to deliver its peptides that lift, tighten and firm the skin. Pepha Tight and Relistase are the key ingredients to restore elasticity and a youthful glow.
These are but a few of the hyaluronic acid formulas available, and you should explore all of the options to ensure you are making the most of its incredible properties.
Facial Oil
If you pay attention to all of those beauty influencers, you’ll see many explaining the significance of a beauty oil or facial oil. These are not just for adding a bit of moisture to dry skin. They can help unclog pores, offer a shine-free coat of protection, and help to erase fine lines and wrinkles.
We recommend:
Moroccan Argan Oil - Ideal for those with mature or dry skin and those who live with redness or rosacea.
Tamanu Oil - This is the ideal beauty oil for all skin types, and it soaks in quickly without leaving heaviness or an oily sheen. It is excellent for fading scars, acne marks, and evening out the complexion.
Rose Hip Seed Oil - This is good for evening out tone and texture and giving any skin type a healthier and more youthful glow.
Night Moisturizer
Lastly, all women need to pay attention to moisturizing. You will want to have a daytime moisturizer as well as a healing and soothing nighttime option.
You may even want to add a midday application to ensure you are making the most of moisturizing. Remember, though, that you need to select your moisturizers based on your skin type and your skin’s needs.
Do you have mature skin with lines and wrinkles? You may need a retinol cream or specialty night cream in addition to a daytime treatment.
Explore the different options for heavier moisturizers based on your needs. Be sure you look for those with organic ingredients and improve any conditions your skin might have.
