We all love winters, however, the dip in the temperature and the cool winds can take a toll on your skin and make it dry. Your skin requires more care and nourishment during winter, as opposed to any other season. If you’re wondering how to deal with the winter woes and achieve soft and smooth skin, don’t worry, we have compiled the skincare essentials you need.   Here’s a list of winter beauty must-haves that deserve a place in your beauty box!

CLEANSING OIL 

Switch up your regular cleansers with cleansing oils and experience the difference. Cleansers remove the skin’s natural oils, leaving them dry and stretchy. An oil-based cleanser will allow thorough cleansing while maintaining the oil balance of your skin. Hence, it is a winter beauty must-have item in your list. 

FOAMING FACE WASH

Sloughing off dry patches on your face with a traditional face wash might work instantly in summers. However, in winters it can backfire by causing your skin to get dry and flaky. Swap your face wash with a mild foaming cleanser for a creamy cleanse every day. It will help your skin adjust to the cold weather by removing dirt and hydrating it simultaneously. Follow this as part of a two-step method along with the cleansing oil that will keep your skin soft while thoroughly cleansing it.

EXFOLIATING SCRUB

Winter is often synonymous with dry and dull-looking skin. It’s cold, you’re lazy and in desperate need for a fix that requires minimal effort. A mild exfoliating scrub will buff out dead skin without stripping your face from the goodness of natural oils. Opt for a volcanic lava scrub with mild beads and gently massage it onto your skin. A light upward motion will boost blood flow and keep your skin nourished through the season. 

Tip: Exfoliate your skin once or twice a week. Overdoing it can dry your skin further and cause redness.

HYDRATING FACE SERUM 

Face serums are more than a fad, they are miraculous products that can do wonders for your skin. Any list of winter beauty must-haves is incomplete without including an intense skin serum. For the cold days, invest in a good intense hydrating serum that will not only hydrate your skin but also lock in moisture for lasting effects.

MOISTURIZING DAY CREAM 

Moisturizers are a versatile product that forms a part of your all-season beauty box, be it summer, winter or monsoon. Since winter is responsible for drying out your skin, applying a quality day cream with moisturizing and protecting ingredients will do you good when you’re stepping out.

FACE TINT & SPF

In winters, moisturizers alone cannot work wonders. So switch up your beauty routine for a tinted moisturizer with SPF protection for extra coverage and protection. They work like a BB or CC cream but without the greasy finish. Lather on a small amount before applying foundation for a radiant and even skin tone. The best part about moisturizing face tints is their versatility. When in a hurry you can skip the foundation altogether and still get a dewy finished look. 

Tip: Opt for products that use 100% sustainable, fragrance and paraben-free ingredients tor minimal irritation to the skin and to get a beautiful winter glow.

REPAIRING NIGHT CREAM

If you think you can use the same moisturizer during the day and night, you’re wrong. Nothing works better than a night cream to repair and nourishment your skin while you enjoy your beauty slumber. Don’t forget to add this to your list of winter beauty must-haves. 

HYDRATING UNDER EYE CREAM

We cannot stress how important an under eye cream is in every beauty regime. The area around your eyes is the first one to be affected by ageing. Naturally, it requires more attention and care. A good eye cream will help keep that area moisturized during winter and also prevent premature ageing.

MOISTURIZING LIP BALM

Chapped lips are the bane of pleasant winter days. Not only are they painful, but also look unappealing. This is where a moisturizing lip balm comes to the rescue. Choose a time moisturizer, that can replace your lipstick and deliver the colour of your choice. This will help your lips stay juicy and healthy throughout winter. 

You can also use a lip mask occasionally to soften your lips. A lip-plumping mask infused with hyaluronic acid will hydrate dry lips, making them noticeably softer. Wipe your lips dry and apply it on for 10 minutes before sleeping. A weightless, moisturizing sleeping lip mask will restore chapped lips making them supple and plump. 

Make sure to use a lip balm as a base before using lipstick during the winter so that your lips don’t dry out during the day.

FACIAL MIST

A facial mist is more than just fancy water. You will be surprised to learn its benefits, apart from instantly giving your face a hydration boost. It also helps seal in extra moisture. Apart from this, if you spritz it before your makeup, it acts as a primer to create the perfect base. Alternatively, using if after your makeup makes it act like a setting spray!  

HYDRATING FACE MASKS

If you’re looking for intense moisturization from within, go for the good old face masks. It will help repair your skin and keep it hydrated for long. Not just that, you will notice a difference in your complexion and texture too. Your skin will appear brighter and will be softer to touch. This completes the list of winter beauty must-haves.
