Your best Winter skin
One of the toughest skin challenges in Winter is dry skin, as we take hotter showers and have heaters constantly running, we are exposed to drier while simultaneously outside temperatures become colder. This constant cycle is stressful and drying for our skin. When dead skin cells build up on the outer layers of our skin, it can cause the skin to look dull, dry, and flakey, and can even clog our pores. Luckily there are simple provisions you can take to avoid dull dry Winter skin.
Humidity
As the air gets colder and drier and we are exposed to more heaters and then faced with more icy cold air, this can be very drying for our skin! To avoid dry skin and premature ageing, keep your air moist with a humidifier, to create a beautiful relaxing and spa feel, by not add a few drops of Support Breath Oil by Aromatherapy Associates.
Buff
In the winter the skin tends to be more dry than it is during the summer because of cold weather and low humidity. By using an exfoliator, you can remove patches of dull, dry skin to reveal softer, smoother-looking skin. Doing so can also help your moisturizing products penetrate better, resulting in a more hydrated complexion.
