How to Care for Your Skin During the Cold Months

The wintermonths are still here, and with it comes the chill that can leave your skin feeling tight, dry, and more sensitive than usual. The colder months demand a little extra TLC for your skin to keep it healthy, hydrated, and glowing. Here are some simple yet effective tips from the global skincare company NIVEA to combat winter dryness and keep your skin happy all season long.

1. Hydrate Inside and Out

Indoor heating might make your home cozy, but it also lowers humidity levels, leaving your skin parched. To combat this, focus on hydrating from both the inside and the outside.

• Moisturize Daily: Use a rich moisturizer for your face and body every morning and evening. For best results, choose products designed for dry or sensitive skin.
• Opt for Lukewarm Showers: While a hot shower might feel heavenly after braving the cold, it can strip your skin of its natural oils. Stick to lukewarm water and limit your shower time. Switch to a hydrating shower oil for added moisture.
• Midday Moisture Boost: Keep your skin fresh and hydrated during the day by mixing a bit of your favorite cream with water and pouring it into a spray bottle. A quick mist can provide a refreshing pick-me-up without disturbing your makeup.

2. Be Kind to Your Lips

Dry, chapped lips are a common winter woe, often caused by sudden temperature changes. Prevent painful cracks with these tips:

• Apply a Hydrating Lip Balm: Choose one with nourishing ingredients like hyaluronic acid to lock in moisture. A great option is Labello Hyaluron Lip Moisture Plus, which deeply hydrates and soothes your lips. Reapply frequently throughout the day to keep them soft and smooth.

3. Protect and Nourish

The cold wind and dry air can be tough on your skin, but a little preparation goes a long way:

• Layer Up Your Skincare: Use a hydrating serum under your moisturizer to double down on moisture retention.
• Don’t Forget SPF: Even in winter, UV rays can damage your skin, so be sure to apply sunscreen daily.

By following these simple steps, you can ensure your skin stays nourished, protected, and radiant all winter long. So, embrace the beauty of the season while keeping your skin at its best!
