As the winter season has wrapped its icy fingers around us for the past few months, it brought not just the joy of snowflakes and cozy sweaters but also the harsh reality of dry, irritated skin. The plummeting temperatures and biting winds can wreak havoc on our skin, leaving it parched, flaky, and prone to irritation. However, fear not, for with the right winter skincare routine, you can keep your skin healthy, hydrated, and glowing all season long – until the first rays of spring arrive and welcome your skin into summer’s glow with a full bloom!

Understanding Your Skin’s Needs in Winter

Winter brings unique challenges for our skin due to the combination of cold weather and low humidity levels. These factors strip the skin of its natural moisture, leading to dryness, redness, and even cracking. To combat these issues, it’s essential to prioritize hydration, protection and nourishment in your skincare routine.

The Essential Winter Skincare Routine

• Cleansing: Begin your skincare routine with a gentle cleanser that effectively removes dirt, oil, and impurities without stripping away moisture. Opt for creamy or oil-based cleansers that provide hydration while cleansing, leaving your skin soft and supple.
• Hydration: Moisturizing is key during the winter months. Look for rich, emollient creams like “The Glow” from This Place, which not only hydrate the skin but also have anti-inflammatory properties to soothe any irritation. Massage the moisturizer into your skin in upward circular motions, focusing on dry areas such as the cheeks and forehead.
• Extra Care: In addition to your regular moisturizer, consider incorporating targeted treatments like facial oils for added nourishment and protection. “The Morning Glow” and “The Evening Glow” by This Place are perfect examples. “The Morning Glow” revitalizing facial oil provides an extra boost of hydration and anti-inflammatory benefits, while “The Evening Glow” rich facial oil offers intensive nourishment to replenish the skin overnight.
• Sun Protection: Even in winter, UV rays can damage the skin, leading to premature aging and sunburn. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher to exposed areas of skin, especially if you’ll be spending time outdoors.
• Hydrate from Within: Don’t forget to drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. Additionally, incorporating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins can help support skin health.
