As the northern hemisphere enters the heart of winter, for the health and beauty of your skin, it is simply imperative to change up your Skin Care regimen to a more hydrating, winter-appropriate routine. Our dosha-based regimens are effective year-round, but there are some important specific additions for the cold weather inside and the dry, heated indoors.
So whether you are exposed to the city night chills or experiencing cold winds in the countryside, these winter skincare essentials are curated to address the needs of every skin type:
How it works;
1. Repair & Nourish
The colder winter months, coupled with artificial indoor heat can be harsh on the skin, depleting both hydration and oil. The most negatively affected types are Vata/Dry skin. So, before your complexion starts to peel, flake or otherwise dry out and appears lackluster or irritated, protect it with our BioScience Peptide Complex.
Bioscience not only effectively treats this temporary dehydration effect but also addresses the issue of genetically determined skin dryness (learn more). Clinically proven, this organic moisturizer is suitable for even sensitive, rosacea-prone (or Pitta), and oily (or Kapha) skin. It should do without saying, but our products are all non-gender specific, after all skin is skin!
Bioscience Peptide Complex should be topically applied over your face, neck, and decolletage 2X morning and before bed after Cleansing & Hydrating/Toning as part of your Skin Care regimen.
If you are living somewhere with harsh winter temperatures, it is once again imperative to protect your skin further with both more moisture and oils. Supplement with either our Collagen Boost Serum, Rejuv Serum, or SBR Serum (for Sensitive & Rosacea-prone skin) to lock in moisture, and rebalance damaged winter skin for long-lasting transformation.
2. An Anti-wrinkle Eye Serum
If you are already using a powerful moisturizer, then you might question the need to invest in a restorative anti-wrinkle eye cream that truly works.
The reason for this is that the skin in the delicate eye area is thinner, with fewer oil glands and collagen net, showing signs of aging earlier than the other areas of your facial skin. This makes it more vulnerable to fine lines, the appearance of crow’s feet, and changes in pigmentation (dark circles).
Use Eyeline Prevention Oil as the last step in your bedtime regimen. Gently massage with the roll-on applicator and allow a tiny amount of the product to get transferred around the eye area. The Ayurvedic anti-wrinkle eye serum will fight free radicals (the cellular oxidation that is responsible for aging) and goes to work on this age-betraying area immediately.
3. Dry Skin Care in Winter for Your Body
A thicker body moisturizing formula is ideal in the winter months.
Our Vanilla Silk Body Butter is made with Shea Butter and plant-based ingredients like Aloe Vera, Alfalfa, Bilberry, oils of Olive, Sunflower, Avocado, and Almond, and others that leave skin renewed and refreshed and lessens the appearance of ‘crepe’ skin and other aging factors.
Since dry patches on the elbows and knees are common, it’s important to concentrate on these areas as well. The body butter will also help improve symptoms of eczema, psoriasis, and other dry skin issues.
For the best results, you can add these Best Anti-Aging products 2022 to your regimen:
- Papaya & Honey Exfoliation Mask & Scrub (1-2X times a week) to help remove deep-seated makeup and impurities.
- Never skimp on sunscreen just because it’s cold outside! In fact, the worst UV damage can happen by being unprotected when there is snow on the ground, as light reflects both ways. This is true even on overcasts days! Use SunProtect SPF 30+ (broad spectrum mineral-based sunscreen) that protects from the harmful effects of UV rays. Use generously and reapply as needed.
