Winter Skincare Routine: Dry Skin Care

Winter Skincare Routine

I’m a big believer in switching up your skincare routine for different seasons. Hydration is key during the colder months.

Dry Skin Care

Products aren’t the only way you can keep your skin hydrated. Try turning down the temperature of the water when you wash your face and body. Really hot water can leave your skin lacking moisture. Gently pat your skin, instead of rubbing it to dry off. You guessed it, too much friction can also dry your skin out. Lastly, apply moisturizer while your skin is still damp. That helps maximize hydration.

I always double cleanse, no matter the season. It’s a great first step, which helps maximize the benefits of your face wash.

Dermalogica Precleanse is one of my favorite products! If you wear makeup, this will melt all of it away with no problems. Even mascara!

This can still be used if you don’t wear makeup. When used on bare skin it helps get rid of built-up oils, sunscreen, and environmental pollutants. Plus, because it’s a cleansing oil it won’t dry out your skin.

Follow up with Peach and Lily Power Calm Hydrating Gel Cleanser. I got this in a Boxycharm BoxThis cleanser is sulfate-free and the formula includes soothing ingredients like chamomile and camellia.

It starts off as a gel and turns into foam as you massage it on your face. I love that my skin feels soft and hydrated after using this.

After patting my face dry, I use the Mario Badescu Facial SprayThe spray is infused with botanical extracts that help hydrate the skin. It can be used before or after moisturizer. 

I love how these Mario Badescu sprays smell, and I have a few of the different scents. Right now I’m using the Aloe, Sage, and Orange Blossom.

Finish this skincare routine with the Derma E Hydrating Night creamThis cream provides an extra boost of hydration without leaving your skin feeling greasy.

Sometimes I use it in the morning if my skin is really thirsty.

What is your winter skincare routine like? I’d love to hear more about your favorite products in the comments!
