Tips For Regular Makeup Users To Keep Their Skin Healthy And Hydrating In Winter

Winter Skincare:  The changing weather sometimes can pose a challenge for the skin of regular makeup viewers. With prolonged hours of makeup on the skin, the skin can get dry and flaky as well as lose its natural luster. The process of makeup removal furthermore takes a toll on the skin barrier. But one need not have to compromise on their enthusiasm for makeup due to the dropping temperature. Just making some alterations in the regular routine can help you maintain the health and hydration of the skin. 

Hydration, inside out 

Beauty begins from the inside. For having a plump and hydrating skin it is important to have enough water in your cells. Drinking the required amounts of water flushes out toxins from the body resulting in giving you clearer skin. 

To complement the hydration inside, opt for a hydrating moisturizer rich in ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and more such ingredients.  

Prep with hydrating primer 

The base of the makeup also rules its final finish. To keep the skin from flaking out opt for a hydrating primer. 

Switch to cream-based products 

Cream or liquid base makeup products like blushers, foundations, BB cream, highlighters, and more will blend easily on the skin, without drying it out in winter. The cream formula will also give your skin a natural sheen. 

Never skip sunscreen 

Whether the sun is out in the sky or not, you should not skip sunscreen ever. For winters opt for hydrating sunscreen with a SPF of 30 or above. 

Cautions in exfoliation

Exfoliation is necessary in winter too to remove the dead skin cells. But instead of harsh scrubs, opt for gentle chemical peels like AHA for easily exfoliating your skin. 

Include facial oils 

Facial oils are good friends in winter. Not only do they hydrate your skin but also have a natural shine to it. Add a few drops of facial oils to your base makeup products for a radiant finish. 

Setting spray 

A setting spray would not only set your makeup but also add an instant boost of hydration to your look. 

Removal 

Removing makeup every night is essential to keep the skin hydrated and healthy. Opt for an oil-based cleanser to remove your makeup instead of micellar water to avoid stripping its moisture. For a double cleansing use a non-foaming cleanser to keep the skin moisturised. Double cleansing must be avoided in a regular routine and used only when needed like with heavy makeup.
