How to Layer Hydration Effectively During Winter Through Your Skincare Routine?
During the winter our skin loses its hydration quickly because of low humidity and indoor heating. That is why applying the right layers of hydration through skincare is essential to keep your skins moisture retained.
Here is a step by step skincare hydration layering guide:
Number 1: Start with A Cleanser
When you want to pick a cleanser for the colder days, it is recommended to choose a gentle one like a milk or oil cleanser so that it doesn't strip moisture from your face.
Number 2: Hydrating Toner ( The First Hydrating Layer)
Right after cleansing apply a hydrating toner on a damp skin. This hydrating toner adds a little moisture while preparing your skin for the next product layers.
Number 3: Hydrating Serum ( The Second Hydrating Layer)
This step is a very important step because it locks in the previous moisture obtained from the hydrating toner.
Number 4: Applying a Moisturizer ( The Sealing Step/ Third Layer)
After the facial serum application use a moisturizer to help build a barrier to keep all the previous hydration protected. This step is the step that keeps your skins hydration from evaporating.
Number 5: Facial oils
This step is an extra step to make sure there is no escape for your skins hydration. It is mainly used for very dry spots or in case the weather was very chilly and cold.
Number 6 : Sunscreen
Of course the last step is preserved for sunscreen, sunscreen is a must and is not to be skipped during winter because harmful U.V Rays can still affect your skin.
This easy step- by - step skincare routine will allow your skin to retain its moisture and avoid becoming dry during the winter season. Don't forget layering correctly is the key to hydration!
