In the winter, every type of skin could use a little extra love. When the weather turns cold and we find ourselves going from the warm indoors to the frigid outdoors, our skin suffers a shock. Here are 3 great ways to keep your skin baby soft—even when the rest of your body is shivering and you’re craving hot cocoa:
1. Humidify
Using a humidifier simply adds more moisture into the air. As a result, the vapor will seep into your skin, moisturizing it on a deep level. Not only will this help your skin, but your hair will benefit as well, and your lungs will thank you for being able to breathe easier.
2. Exfoliation
When winter skin becomes more dehydrated, it becomes dry. As skin dries out, dead skin cells accumulate rather than shedding normally as they do in warmer months. Exfoliation will stimulate moisture in the skin as well as enhancing the absorption of the next product applied.
And now, ladies and gentlemen–yes, this applies to you too, men–is the moment you’ve been waiting for. The most important take-away tip for silky smooth winter skin is: night cream.
3. Night Cream
Nighttime is an excellent time to hydrate. When else do you lie still for hours and let your body relax and repair itself? Nighttime is the perfect occasion for heavier, thicker creams loaded with vitamins and antioxidants to enrich your parched skin.
Rather than wasting time and money on creams without a kick, try out top picks from Viviane, mastermind behind Vskin + Makeup and Be Bonita.
1. Clarins Multi-Active Night Youth Recovery Cream
2. Bobbi Brown Hydrating Face Cream
3. Dr. Miracle’s Night Treatment Facial Moisturizer
By adding moisture to your derma, exfoliating away those dead skin cells, and–perhaps most importantly–using a nutrient-rich night cream, your previously aching winter skin will be soft as a baby’s bottom! Take time to pamper yourself. You deserve it, beautiful!
Stay bonita/o!
