This Is How You Can Get Your Skin Ready For Both Winter And Summer 

The Secret Behind Flawless Skin 

Erno Laszlo a famous skin doctor in Estee Lauder’s generation was quoted saying that the skin should be just this side of dry. Just that perfect level of moisture that’s so hard to attain, not oily but not dry. 

Not just in cold, dry climates, winter weather can make getting to that perfect moisture level especially challenging. Skin is generally drier in the winter as most of us are indoors more with the central heating on even in rainy Seattle. 

Here are some things you can do to keep dryness down as we head into the season:

If you haven’t already, change to a super gentle cleanser. 

To keep central heating from drying out your skin, use a humidifier. 

Under your daily sunscreen, add an extra layer of moisturiser. 

Pick products with different but complementary approaches to hydrating your skin when using two layers of moisturisers. Similar to the hydrating non-alcohol gel, like SkinCeuticals Vitamin B5 hyaluronic, layer it under the moisturiser you are wearing traditionally. 

Helping to hold water in your skin and keep it better hydrated, look for moisturisers with higher oil content. 

Avoid facial oils if you have acne, whereas it may work well for very dry skin. Watch carefully for changes and if you decide to try them, be aware that you usually won’t see the effect of facial oil on your acne for 4-8 weeks after you start using it. 

When you exfoliate less frequently, it helps reduce the barrier layer of skin thereby losing this layer allowing more evaporation from your skin. 

After you work out rinse the salt off your skin and thereafter apply moisturiser or sunscreen. 

Midday at work put an extra layer off moisturiser on your face. The result is quite amazing how much it helps. 

We Introduce The 5 Tips For Beautiful Summer Skin

With vacation, more flexible schedules, dinners al fresco, fewer clothes, and more skin, summer is a great time to be. 

The summer skin as we want must be smooth, even in colour, touchable, and great looking. Whereas in reality, we end up with cracked feet, sunburns, uneven tan lines, as well as sun damage. Even worse than that comes rashes, bites, and weird-looking self-tanner. 

Pay attention to these 5 skin essentials to avoid these pitfalls, and get summer skin that’s worth showing off. 

Take care of your feet

It works really well to smooth those heels, whereas you can get that pedicure as also ask your doc about using a prescription urea cream that has 40% urea like X-Viate. 

Stay safe in the sun

On your face, neck, chest, arms, and hands, use the expensive high-zinc sunscreen. Don’t let yourself burn whereas you can use the drugstore stuff on the rest of the body and be sure to reapply. 

Smooth skin all over 

Even though its more effective in a bath whereas you can do this in the shower too

In a warm, not hot bath put 2 cups of Epsom salt or other mineral salts and soak for 5-10 min. 

Using moderate pressure, scrub your body with your favourite salt or sugar scrub, and then rinse off. 

On your head and neck area, apply a gentler facial scrub. 

Brush your back with a long-handled natural bristle brush. 

Preferably with a lotion or body oil that has natural oils in it, dry off, and lotion everywhere. 

Even-out your self-tanner

Before you self-tan, do a scrub. Follow the directions above including the lotion and then wait 10 minutes before you use the self-tanner if at home. As soon as you get the tanner applied all over, Q tips and some alcohol to the spots where you don’t want the extra colour can be applied where those spots are that pick up extra colour. Use a spot of petroleum jelly on each of those areas just before the spray if you are getting sprayed. 

Avoid weird tan lines

You really shouldn’t have these if you use your sunscreen. Cover up more with a cute summer shirt, a rash guard, a wetsuit, or swim tights if you get them anyway. They are sure to help you more when you get those weird lines. 

To Sum Up...

We know how to manage the skin in summer as well as winter. Then why wait for more as we can apply more of the moisturisers, creams, and sunscreens according to the need of the day, whether it be hot or cold
