Winter Skin Got You Down?

We檝e all been there: it mid-winter and your skin is dry, flaky, and possibly even more acne-riddled than any other season. There are a lot of factors that go into ruining your skin, but you don檛 have to accept your fate while waiting for warmer days. At 91涩漫 we are avid skincare enthusiasts, and we would like to share our wealth of knowledge with you this season. So let glowing skin be your New Year resolution, and let us know how the rest of your year is affected!

It Time to Change Your Skincare Routine

Don檛 worry, we won檛 tell anyone how naughty you檝e been this season. Sleeping with our makeup on, using bar soap to wash our faces, picking at dry skin? We檙e all guilty. But it time to step it up, ladies and gents! So read on and watch your skin go from boring to glowing!

Clean Up Your Act

The laziness must stop, friends. At the very least, you should be using makeup removers before bed. Whichever brand you buy, make sure it doesn檛 have added oil, and never wipe using force as this can cause microabrasions. But if we檙e being honest, your winter skin is a little more sensitive and deserves better than a cursory makeup wipe.

To actually get your skin nice and clean for your beauty sleep, youl need a face wash. So really designate some time at night to do this crucial step. We recommend using a makeup wipe first, then using an exfoliating facial wash. DO NOT use a face wash with anything that says it has beads. found that those small beads are causing a lot of pollution, so we try to avoid those. Kind of ruins all that healthy washing you just did, right? Our favorite face wash is a homemade one, like 91涩漫 .

Here a tip: wash your face more than once a day. This doesn檛 mean you need to use your new facial cleanser more than once, as that can sometimes dry out your skin. The most effective method is to rinse your face with cold water in the morning, and use a facial cleanser after taking off your makeup at night.

Next, Moisturize!

Moisturizing in these dry months is really important. But how do you know if you檝e moisturized too much? Well, we have the answers. To really keep your skin smooth and soft, you should use a designated facial moisturizer twice a day. That right, time it with your morning and evening wash and youl be set for the day! Using a specific facial moisturizer will decrease the amount of pore-clogging, and will not feel heavy or oily. You can even find moisturizers that help with acne if you have it. We really like Botanical Kinetics™ choices of moisturizers. to find a quality face moisturizer in your price range.

Do you have oily skin? We understand that having oily skin can deter you from wanting to use a moisturizer. But believe it or not, you still need to. That natural face oil is not doing a great job of protecting you from cold wind and dry air, so check out that doesn檛 make your oily skin worse, and will still keep you looking fresh!

Cooler Showers

Yeah, we know you don檛 want to hear this one. No one likes to take colder showers in the winter, but . So, even though it might be hard, if you are having a problem with dry, flaky skin, try taking cooler showers and see how that changes things. And don檛 forget to moisturize!

Drink Plenty of Water

It can be hard to remember to drink water in the winter as you檙e likely not out playing sports, and the summer sun isn檛 beating down making you thirsty. But it still incredibly important. Though you檝e likely been told your whole life that you should drink three 8oz glasses of water a day, they have recently found that it better to just drink when you檙e thirsty. So in the winter, when you aren檛 thirsty as often, we like to remind ourselves by drinking at least one water bottle a day. As long as you檝e emptied your water bottle by the end of the day, youl likely be hydrated enough. Keeping hydrated helps your skin stay plump and fresh from the inside out.

While we檙e here, we might as well mention that eating healthy also greatly improves the appearance of your skin. Though it holiday season, try to get some vegetables and fruits in between cookies and eggnog.

Treat Yoelf

This is your official excuse to get a facial, everyone. We know you were waiting for a sign. Getting a hydrating facial can vastly improve that winter skin. So whether you get a chemical peel, a relaxing facial, or simply use a store-bought mask, now is the time. Make sure you wash your face using that cleanser first, then moisturize afterward. This will tighten your skin and keep it moisturized for longer. As usual, don檛 go overboard with facials, as this doesn檛 allow your skin time to heal; if you really need it, try doing one facial a month or every other week. This should keep your face fresh and ready for the coming spring!
