We enjoy winter because of the warm clothing and plush blankets, but we’ll forego the dry, lifeless skin, split cuticles, and parched lips. Your skin becomes dry and lifeless as a result of low humidity, even colder temperatures, and indoor heating.
Why you need to change up your skin care routine for winter
In order to maintain a healthy and radiant complexion, it is crucial that we step up our skincare routine throughout these months. You don’t have to completely change your skincare routine. To stay radiant till spring, just incorporate a couple of our honey-infused suggestions!
Your skin will lose a lot of moisture to the surroundings when the humidity is low. Both humectants and emollients are necessary to attract and retain moisture in order to prevent dry skin. As basic initial steps in your winter skin care routine, we suggest using a relaxing cleanser, reducing the frequency of exfoliation, and switching from lighter moisturizers to richer products.
Skin care tips for winter
Compared to the rest of your body, the skin on your face is thinner and more delicate. It has to be protected because winter is when it is most exposed. Our top picks for winter skin care are as follows:
Step 1: Cleanse
Cleanse gently to begin your routine. It’s crucial to make sure that none of your products—including your cleanser—are drying out your skin in the winter. Because sulfates and phthalates frequently deplete the skin of its natural, reviving oils, choose a cleanser free of these chemicals. If your skin is really dry, try using a cream or milk formula. When washing your face, use warm water, not hot water, as hot water will aggravate it.
Step 2: Serum
Start with your lightest product, such as a serum. This will enable the product to be absorbed by the skin and guarantee that no other items are obstructing its penetration. To attract moisture to the deeper layers of your skin, use a moisturizing serum (such a hyaluronic acid serum).
Compared to standard moisturizers, serums are lightweight skincare solutions with a higher concentration of active ingredients (including hyaluronic acid, glycolic acid, and vitamin C). Depending on the type of serum you use, they can aid to brighten, moisturize, and offer a number of other benefits.
Step 3: Moisturizer
Use your face cream (moisturizer) after your serum. The thicker formula of moisturizers forms a physical barrier that keeps skin hydrated and stops it from drying out. Furthermore, they support the skin’s outermost layer, aiding in moisture retention.
Step 4: Applying Face Oil
Now for the magic: use the honey-infused face oil to seal everything in. Whether you have dry or oily skin, winter is the perfect time to incorporate oils into your routine. Your skin will feel calmer, retain more moisture, and have its protective layer strengthened by the honey-infused face oil. You can use it as the last step of a decadent winter skin ritual, or you can mix it in with your morning and night moisturizer.
With the help of natural actives, freshly cold-pressed plant oils from the Mirsalehi Bee Garden, and antioxidant-rich, quickly absorbing daily face oil, this oil is designed to nurture skin. Make sure to completely apply the oil.
Step 5: Use sunscreen
To protect yourself from UVA and UVB radiation, it’s crucial to apply your SPF after this morning skincare regimen. This is crucial in the winter as well because even in freezing weather, the sun can still cause harm!
Wintertime body care regimen
It goes without saying that during the winter, your face is not the only area of your body that may feel tight and dry. Additionally, your body will require a little more affection.
Spend some time massaging the Honey Infused Body Oil into your skin while it’s still moist from your shower. For better outcomes, wet skin will absorb moisture more readily. Rich in vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids, our opulent and light body oil revitalizes tight, dry skin while boosting elasticity. Your skin will be the healthiest it has ever been thanks to its sensual texture, which provides immediate hydration.
After the Honey Infused Body Oil has completely absorbed, you can top it with your preferred body lotion or milk for an additional moisture boost. This is because our body oil absorbs more quickly than conventional oil-based moisturizers due to its high light weight.
Problem areas: tackling extra dry areas
Sometimes a basic moisturizer isn’t enough; to address the actual issue areas (the elbows, knees, cuticles, etc. are regular culprits), you might need something heavier and more powerful. These skin regions have less oil-producing glands, which helps to naturally moisturize your skin, because they are made to move to allow for flexibility and stretching. The skin here is thicker and more prone to dryness because there are fewer of these glands. Naturally, the situation is made worse by winter weather.
Include our Honey Infused Beauty Balm in your winter skincare regimen to keep these trouble spots nourished and incredibly hydrated. Beauty balms are designed to provide the skin with strong nourishment. They contain natural substances that are highly concentrated and help cure dry, chapped skin while also protecting the skin barrier.
Additionally, by preventing dryness or irritation in sensitive areas caused by wind and cold, this thick, moisturizing cream will aid. To encourage the recuperation of dry skin overnight, simply apply a layer of the Beauty Balm to your exposed areas both before you leave and throughout your nightly routine. For a double dose, you can put it over your usual body lotion or even over the Honey Infused Body Oil.
Typical lips care routine
Your lips may get dry and chapped throughout the winter months. This is due to the fact that your lips have particularly thin skin, which is prone to dehydration when exposed to cold and wind.
Start with one of our best winter skincare suggestions: use honey as a mild exfoliant to help remove flaky, dry skin. To assist soften the skin, wet a face towel with warm water and apply it to your lips for a few minutes. Then, you can combine one teaspoon each of honey and sugar (use honey from your local beekeeper to help support local beekeeping!) Apply a small amount of this mouthwatering exfoliator to your lips. Massage gently.
To keep your lips hydrated and nourished, use our Honey Infused Lip Oil afterward. The antioxidant-rich Mirsalehi Honey and the incredibly moisturizing hyaluronic acid are the ingredients of Gisou’s Honey Infused Lip Oil. Additionally, it contains our exclusive Mirsalehi Bee Garden Oil Blend, which contains fatty acids to prevent dry, chapped lips from the environment and rapidly smooth, condition, and repair them.
