It’s time to invest in a rich, nourishing hydrator. I would recommend a heavier cream made with ceramides, which are the essential and healthy fatty acids that occur naturally in the skin but need to be replenished during the colder months.
Those ceramides are crucial, because they serve as a support system for your skin barrier. Adding an extra layer of moisture to your routine is another great way to prevent skin dehydration.
As the weather gets colder, it’s best to cut back on products containing acidic ingredients, like retinoid and glycolic acid. Exfoliation is also very easy to overdo. Cold weather and over-exfoliation can create tiny cracks in the skin barrier that lead to loss of moisture and inflammation.
When summer ends, your skin may start to feel dry and itchy as there is much less moisture in the air to help keep it hydrated. The solution? Use lots of body lotion! It provides a protective barrier over the skin, allowing it to retain and absorb moisture through the skin’s top layer.
There’s a reason the luxury skincare brand Temple Spa is popular. With naturally-derived ingredients and botanicals infused within each product, your skin can be guaranteed the ultimate nourishment when you book in for a treatment. Here are just a few of my recommendations for the colder months:
