It’s time to switch up your beauty routine for the winter! During winter, more factors contribute to dry lines and irritation such as extreme weather, low humidity, and in-door heating that sucks out all the moisture. Avoid problematic skin with Dr. Denese’s winter skincare tips and have luminous skin even in the toughest weather.
Cleanser – Switch to a gentle cleanser that doesn’t strip the skin. Aggressive cleanser can take away natural moisture of the epidermis and leave your skin dry and itchy.
Exfoliation – Gently exfoliate your skin once a week. Dead surface cells can form a barrier that stops the moisturizer from permeating your skin.
Serum – Add an intense dose of moisture to your skin by using a serum. Not only can a serum plump up your skin cell and help lock in hydration, but it can also help absorb the moisturizer afterwards.
Intensive Moisturizer – Continue to add hydration with an intensive moisturizer. This will help maintain the moisture in skin lipid barrier and avoid irritating itchiness and dry lines.
UV Protection – Last but certainly the most important is to use a broad spectrum UV protection to sum up your daily routine. Harmful UVA and UVB waves still exist during the winter and they can cause skin pre-maturing and pigmentation.
Smart makeup tip! Blend your usual concealer with Dr. Denese HydroShield Serum to create your own moisturizing cover up. This will help your concealer to stay put all day and avoid dry lines under your eyes!
