Ways to Take Care of Your Skin during Winter Months

Hello, 2021! We are so excited to see what you bring us! January is the month of resolutions and creating healthy new habits! Let’s talk about creating a healthy skincare regimen during these few winter months. Here are a few healthy tips for hydrated, soft skin.

Avoid Hot Water

It is so tempting to wash and bathe yourself with piping hot water during the cold months, but it is not doing your skin any good. Using hot water dehydrates the skin, which can lead to itchy dry skin. It is also important to moisturize your skin immediately after bathing. We recommend using a good quality moisturizer which is why we love Elta Md’s Moisture Rich Body Crème; it is enriched with ceramides and enzymes which promote skin cell renewal.

Use a Gentle Cleanser

It is important to use a gentle cleanser that is fragrance-free and suitable for even the most sensitive skin. We love Elta Md’s Foaming Facial Cleanser because it is suitable enough for sensitive skin and provides a deep clean without stripping the skin of essential oils.

Moisturize

We talked about the importance of moisturizing after bathing. Our skin can get stiff and even crack if we don’t use a proper moisturizer. Our Hands also need to maintain moisture especially since we should constantly be washing them, We recommend using Elta Md’s So Silky Handy Cream, and the Moisture Rich Body Crème for soft glowing skin all winter long.

Use Sunscreen

Many people think that Sunscreen is only useful during the hot summer months and that is an absolute myth! UVB Rays can still cause sunburn during winter; UV rays can cause cancer and Skin cancer risk does not decrease any time of the year. Without proper sun care, our skin can age prematurely, which we can all agree is something none of us want. We recommend Elta Md’s sunscreen line, there is a sunscreen for all skin conditions and concerns.
