Transition to Your Winter Regimen

Fashion isn't the only thing that transitions with the seasons. Just as the seasons change so should your skin care regimen.  Different reasons for different seasons.

During the summer months your skin is exposed to the sun, harsh chemicals from sun screen and extra oil secretion.  During the winter it is time to detox your skin! Our skin’s moisture levels can plummet and a dry, dull skin tone can set in. This is the time to balance the oil and protect your skin from the cold winter elements.

Here at Urban Hydration we created the perfect regimen for your skincare needs.

As we age our skins ability to retain moisture decreases, that's why using a daily moisturizer is important.  It is time to develop a seasonal skincare regimen, your skin will thank you.

As the seasons change, so should your skincare routine. This is especially crucial when transitioning to your winter regimen. The colder months bring drier air, and lower humidity, and can be harsh on your skin, leading to dryness, irritation, and flaking. To maintain healthy and radiant skin, you need to adapt your skincare regimen accordingly. Here's how to do it effectively.

First, focus on hydration. In winter, it’s essential to keep your skin well-hydrated to combat dryness. Consider switching to a heavier, more nourishing moisturizer that is rich in hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and ceramides. These ingredients help to draw moisture into the skin and lock it in, keeping your skin supple and hydrated. Additionally, incorporating a hydrating serum into your routine can provide an extra layer of moisture.

Cleansing is another crucial step. During winter, you should aim to use a gentle, hydrating cleanser that does not strip your skin of its natural oils. Foaming cleansers can be too harsh and drying, so opt for cream or oil-based cleansers instead. These types of cleansers help to maintain the skin’s natural barrier while effectively removing dirt and impurities.

Exfoliation is important but should be done carefully. In winter, over-exfoliation can lead to increased dryness and irritation. Use a gentle exfoliant and limit exfoliation to once or twice a week. Look for products with ingredients like lactic acid or salicylic acid; they are effective yet gentle enough for regular use during the colder months.

Don't forget about sun protection. Even though the sun may not feel as intense during winter, UV rays can still cause damage to your skin. A broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 should be part of your daily routine, regardless of the season. Apply it as the last step in your morning skincare regimen to ensure your skin is protected.

Lastly, don’t neglect your lips and hands. The skin on your lips and hands can become especially dry and cracked in the winter. Use a rich lip balm to keep your lips hydrated and a hand cream to protect your hands from the harsh winter elements. Reapply both throughout the day as needed to maintain softness and prevent dryness.

By following these tips, you can successfully transition to your winter regimen and keep your skin healthy and glowing all season long. Remember, adapting your skincare routine to the changing weather is key to maintaining beautiful and healthy skin year-round.
