Here are the best Korean Skincare tips for winter.
As winter sets in, our skin often becomes a battleground with the effect of cold weather. It faces off against the elements that threaten to rob it of precious moisture. Harsh cleansers are a no-go during this time of year. Because they may strip away natural oils and leave our skin feeling parched from the inside out.
Here's the winter skincare wisdom: steer clear of products that contain ingredients like fragrances, additives, salicylic acid, and charcoal. These can be your skin's worst enemy during the chilly months. Instead, embrace the gentle touch of lotions, gels, or low-foam cleansers. But that's not all; turn the label detective mode on, and look for cleansers that boast hydrating heroes like hyaluronic acid, chamomile, ceramides, and glycerin.
By making small changes to your skincare routine, you can keep your skin glowing and moisturized during harsh winter weather. After all, who doesn't want to face the frosty world with a glowing, confident complexion?
Our top moisturizing cleansers for winter are:
Exfoliating is like a mini spa day for your skin, helping to whisk away those pesky dead cells that can make your skin look dull and dry in the winter. But here's the deal: don't get too carried away with it.
Too much exfoliation, especially for dry skin, can turn the anticipated spa day into a bit of a buzzkill. Over-exfoliating has the potential to irritate your skin, leaving it feeling more sensitive and exacerbating dryness.
To maintain the delicate balance, opt for a gentle exfoliator that pampers rather than punishes your skin. Aim for a once or twice-a-week rendezvous with exfoliation – just enough to keep your skin radiant without unleashing any unnecessary drama. This mindful approach ensures your skin receives the benefits without the risk of irritation, allowing it to breathe and rejuvenate naturally.
Our top picks for gentle winter exfoliators are:
The cold, dry air of winter can strip your skin of moisture, leading to dryness, flakiness, and irritation. And as we say in our other blog ‘The ultimate autumn routine’, hydration is the key to glowy and healthy skin! Which is why a hydrating serum is essential not only for radiant skin, but also to aid in keeping skin moisturized during winter.
Secondly, the skin's natural barrier, which acts as a shield against external factors, is often compromised during the winter months. This weakened barrier can make it easier for moisture to escape from your skin and for external irritants to penetrate it. It may cause redness, sensitivity, and even skin conditions like eczema.
A hydrating serum helps replenish and lock in moisture, keeping your skin soft and supple even in harsh winter conditions.
Our winter serum top picks are:
So, with winter in full swing, you know how the cold and dry weather can be a real pain for our skin, right? Well, guess what? It's time to switch to a thicker moisturizer to save our skin from the winter blues. Think of it like giving our skin an extra cozy layer of protection against the chilly winds and dry air.
Look for stuff with shea butter and hyaluronic acid – they're like superheroes for keeping our skin all plump and happy. Oh, and don't forget those elbows and hands, they need some extra love too. So, let's embrace the thicker moisturizer vibe this winter and keep our skin feeling all kinds of amazing!
Here's why it's beneficial:
Enhanced Protection: Thicker moisturizers create a strong barrier, shielding your skin from harsh winter elements like cold winds and low humidity, reducing water loss.
Deeper Hydration: They contain more emollient ingredients like shea and cocoa butter for intense, long-lasting hydration.
Preventing Moisture Loss: Thicker moisturizers protect against increased water loss, often seen in winter, due to compromised skin barriers.
Soothing: Many thick moisturizers include soothing ingredients to relieve dryness, redness, and sensitivity.
Long-Lasting: Their dense texture provides prolonged hydration, reducing the need for frequent reapplication, ideal for busy winter days
Our winter moisturizer favorites are:
Ever wish you could wake up with that fresh, just-got-a-facial glow every morning? Well, enter the world of overnight masks – overnight masks are like a spa night for your face, but without leaving your bed. Imagine waking up with skin that looks like it had a full eight hours of beauty sleep (even if you didn't).
Not that we need an excuse to apply a face mask, but if you haven't started, winter is the best time to do it. The world of skincare masks is pretty extensive, but don't sleep on overnight masks. Designed as the final step of your nighttime skin regimen, overnight masks help lock in all those serums, creams, and oils applied earlier.
Nighttime masking is the perfect chance to introduce specialized treatments into your skincare routine. If you have eczema, look for ingredients such as ceramides and aloe in your night mask. On the other hand, if you're chasing the fountain of youth, opt for a night mask infused with collagen for those anti-ageing benefits.
Winter can be particularly unkind to our lips, often leaving them feeling dry, cracked, and uncomfortably chapped. As the colder temperatures set in, the air tends to be drier, and harsh winds can further strip away the natural moisture from our skin, including the delicate skin on our lips. To ensure that your lips remain soft, smooth, and supple throughout the colder months, prioritizing miniaturization becomes an essential aspect of your winter skincare routine.
Look for products that contain nourishing ingredients like beeswax, shea butter, coconut oil, or cocoa butter. These ingredients provide a protective barrier, sealing in moisture and preventing the harsh winter elements from taking a toll on your lips.
Consider incorporating gentle exfoliation into your lip care routine to remove any dry, flaky skin.
Exfoliating your lips once or twice a week helps enhance the effectiveness of your lip balm by allowing it to penetrate more deeply into the skin.
Winter lip tip: Avoid the temptation to lick your lips, as saliva can contribute to increased dryness. Instead, make a habit of applying lip balm regularly to keep your lips moisturized and prevent further discomfort. With these simple steps, you can ensure your lips stay comfortable and well-nourished throughout the winter.
