4 Reasons Why Hydration and Skincare is SO Important During Winter
Did you know that as temperatures fall and the air gets drier, your skin pays the price?
This actually means it takes double the effort to keep your skin at its best condition in this type of climate.
It then makes sense that in order to keep your skin healthy, you should apply the appropriate skincare routine especially during the time of year when it needs it the most - Winter!
During winter, our skin’s moisture barrier is extremely sensitive and likely to become compromised. Because of the lack of moisture in the air, humidity levels become low and the skin is at risk of becoming dehydrated as there’s no water available in the atmosphere for the skin to grab onto.
If you are not convinced yet that it is essential to focus on your skin during the cold season, here are 4 reasons as to why hydration and heightened skincare is really important during Winter.
4 Reasons Why Hydration and Skincare is SO Important During Winter
1. Your skin will definitely lose its natural healthy-looking glow if not taken care of under cold temperatures and harsh winds as it can cause skin to dry out. Your overall tone and complexion may appear uneven, and fine lines will be more noticeable.
2. Dry and flaky skin as a result of prolonged exposure to cold air can also become itchy or painful. This will definitely have a negative effect on your skin’s appearance.
3. As your skin adjusts to the cold weather, the small glands of your skin tend to secrete more sebum oil and, therefore, more likely you are to suffer clogged pores and acne breakouts.
4. Did you know that pollution is worse during winter? The cold air is denser and moves slower than warm air which lets pollutants remain in the air for much longer than other seasons. Therefore, it increases the chances of free radical damage resulting in premature ageing.
These are just four of the many reasons to encourage you, why it is important to take extra steps to nurture your skin during Winter.
Remember, the skin is the largest organ in the body. Not only is it the best barrier that protects all your other organs, it also shows your overall health by how it ‘glows’ - isn’t it just the perfect reason to give it the extra special care it deserves, especially during Winter?
