Even though the temperatures may only drop enough to give us that winter chill for a few days at a time, our skin changes quite a bit during the winter season.
Are you noticing itchy skin, dry patches and redness? How about dry, cracked lips? These are all signs that the winter weather is getting the best of your skin.
Our Paramedical Aesthetician, Amanda Chapman, has put together a few quick and easy tips to keep your skin glowing all throughout the holiday season!
You may be wondering why your skin has changed so much even though you are using the same products and skincare regimen you always do. The lack of humidity combined with a drop in temperature can lead to dry, irritated and itchy skin.
During the cooler months, you will most likely need to step up your moisturizer to one that is more hydrating.
If you typically use a lotion, switch to a cream that will be more emollient. If you already use a heavy cream, try adding a moisturizing serum underneath to layer in the extra hydration such as our Sesha Nutritious Lipo Serum that contains evening primrose and carrot oils.
Though it might be tempting to jump into a toasty, hot shower - DON’T do it! This will not only dry out but also cause irritation to the skin.
For a sweet cure to rid your pout of dry lips, check your pantry for two household items: brown sugar and olive oil. By mixing these two ingredients together and making a paste, you will conjure up a fabulous, and inexpensive, lip exfoliant to slough away dead skin. This concoction can be used 1-2 times a week to leave cracked, peeling lips looking and feeling kissably smooth.
Follow this with your favorite lip balm applied throughout the day and at night before going to bed .
Amanda also recommends any product that contains shea butter, such as L’Occitane’s Shea Butter Lip Balm Stick or Korres Lip Butter for a soft and healthy pucker!
