Winter Skin Care from www.oriki.com
Hi all,
I just received a dry skin tip from Oriki Cosmetics.
This was super helpful.
Winter Skin Care NEWSLETTER
Protect yourself from Dry Winter Skin:
It is important to moisturize and maintain hydration of the skin, especially during the winter season. It is one of the most important factors in keeping your skin young and healthy.
In the winter, the dry air aggravated by cold wind and indoor heating can cause serious damage to the skin resulting in wrinkled texture. Dry skin is also more prone to infection and rashes.
Dry skin care requires additional hydration and protection against these external factors.
Moisturized skin is more elastic, more resilient and healthier but also looks softer and more radiant.
Our winter skincare recommendations are:
1. Gentle Cleansing in winter
Use gentle Facial Cleansing Lotion with luke warm water.
Minimize using Facial Toning Lotion, which would aggravate dry skin.
Apply plain Chapstick to your lips often.
Use a mild soap such as Dove for your body; avoid scrubbing vigorously and long baths/showers.
Apply body lotion such as Eucerin, Curel or Lubiderm after baths/showers.
2. Moisturize your Skin
The best time to moisturize your skin is immediately after washing or bathing. You want to protect the optimal water content in your skin after washing.
Apply moisturizers to skin at least twice a day
If your skin still appears dry, you can apply additional moisturizers as often as necessary.
Moisturizers should be rich in antioxidants and vitamins.
3. Turn on your humidifier
Especially at night in your bedroom.
