What Your Dermatologist Wants You to Know in the Winters?

It's almost end-November but with the nights drawing in, is your body clock already being thrown off-kilter? Feeling the tight skin, dry patches, roughness on the hands, and chapped lips? Well, it is time to say hello to winter, ready to wreak havoc from head to toe if not taken care of! 

To fight the cold weather and skin troubles, we’ve jotted down some dermatologist-approved skincare tips to keep the skin happy and hydrated through the cold snap. From head-to-toe, here’s how you can winter-proof your skin starting today.

Revamp Your Products Gradually 

It's crucial to understand your skin and skin type. While the advertisements and testimonials on Instagram might be blasting about a certain product, just know that you don't have to buy each and every product! Learn to make simple changes in your products and let the skin adapt before going overboard with new products. Staying cautious and reading up about potentially irritating ingredients, such as retinoids, exfoliating acids, and vitamin c, is extremely important to keep your skin from going haywire. 

Don’t Ditch the SPF

Just because it's cloudy and the sun's barely making an appearance does not mean that you can put away your sunscreen. Yes, there's less UVB around during winter but the levels of UVA are still significant enough to age and damage the skin. So, our advice? Enjoy the outdoors, go get your daily dose of vitamin D, enjoy the cool breeze but wherever you go, take your sunscreen with you! 

Say Hello to Professional Skin Treatments 

We’re always skeptical about going for those peels and laser treatments during the summers due to the sun exposure that can potentially harm the skin and cause unwanted inflammation and hyper-pigmentation. But with winters just upon us, scheduling an appointment is a great way to restore your skin, boost collagen and get that glow going without the fear of sun exposure. 

Hydrating Cleanser Is Your Best Friend

Cleansing your skin is key to keep the skin nasties away, prevent the pores from getting clogged, and keep acne at bay. However, with the weather getting cooler, cleansing with the wrong product can leave your skin stripped dry. How to tell if your cleanser is drying you out? As a rule of thumb, if your skin feels tight after washing, it's a tell-tale sign that your cleanser has disrupted your skin barrier. Featuring two types of essential ceramides to restore the skin’s barrier and hydrating soybean extracts, our Nourishing Cleanser is a non-comedogenic cleanser that is an effective yet non-irritating way to start off any skincare regimen for hydration of the deepest layers of the skin.
