This time of year is seriously tough on skin. It’s almost like no matter what your skincare type is during every other season of the year, that it changed during cold weather. We get dryer. We need more hydration. The List goes on and on and while I will cover all of those things, too, I bet there’s some stuff you will find to be new information here.

How to Protect Your Skin in Cold Weather

More than any other time of year, during the winter, you do need to switch up your routine a little bit. Simple additions will lead to huge, positive differences in your skin all season long.

Sleep with a humidifier on. Humidifier’s are seriously a magical tool to help add moisture to the air and keep your skin hydrated. Sleep with it on or even leave it running through the day in specific rooms where you find yourself spending the most time. And if they will let you bring them to work, do it!

Turn down the heat…everywhere. I know that whenever the temperatures drop that we want to immediately turn our thermostats up as well as spend more time in a hot shower. As lovely and inviting as this sounds, it doesn’t do anything good for your skin. In order to protect your skin in the cold weather, resist the urge to crank up the heat and your skin will thank you.

Add this cleansing balm to your skincare routine. I can’t think of a better way to add an extra boost of hydration to your skin than adding our Counter+ Lotus Glow Cleansing Balm to your routine. IT works perfect for day and night use, hydrates while it cleanses, removing makeup and impurities with nourishing ingredients that won’t strip away your skin’s natural moisture. It is made with a blend of lotus extract, jojoba seed oil, and avocado seed oil to destress and increase luminosity. And as a bonus: you can cleanse with it and then apply a thin layer and leave it on overnight for a super hydrating overnight mask.

Stay hydrated. Keeping your skin hydrated from the inside is one of the most important things that you can do as soon as your first start to notice that your skin is getting try. Start by adding a few extra glasses of water to your daily intake and you will notice a difference.

Change out of sweaty clothes quickly after a workout. Whether you like to workout in the cold weather or are going from the gym to the car to your house, make sure that you change out of your sweaty clothes immediately. The sweat can cause your skin to get extremely itchy during the winter.

Use gentle cleansers. The last thing you want to do to your skin whenever it in a delicate state is to use anything harsh. I’m a huge fan of our Nourish Collection for this very reason.
