A Comprehensive Guide to Nurturing Your Skin with a Target Cold-Weather Skincare Routine
As the temperature drops and winter blankets the world in a frosty embrace, our skin often pays the price for the harsh weather conditions.
In addition, the cold, dry air can strip away the skin’s natural moisture, leaving it feeling tight, itchy, and prone to irritation and conditions such as dermatitis and eczema.
Specifically, our skin barrier gets damaged from extreme weather, sun exposure, and physical damage such as over-exfoliation and the daily use of harsh topical products often used to treat aging and skin problems. Over time, ingredients like retinol, alcohol, sulfates, acids, abrasive scrubs, and skin brushing can be quite abrasive to the skin. Overuse of skin brushing damages the protective skin barrier and leads to chronic inflammation.
