Winter Skin Care Routine

Winter is the season where people switch to comfort clothes, hot chocolate, and everything warm, but what people seem to forget, is that Winter is the season of dry skin too. Our skin tends to lose about a quarter of its ability to retain moisture in the dry, harsh weather. As the humidity of summer turns into the dryness of winter, your skincare routine needs to have an update as well.

Here are some tips to make your daily skincare routine suitable for winter:

Avoid Foams
Switch your foaming cleanser for a milk cleanser, as foam cleansers tend to dry out the skin. Milk cleansers are made from a natural emulsion of fats and water. They cleanse your skin without stripping it of natural oils.

Remove Your Make Up With Oil
Makeup removers tend to be alcohol-based which can dry out your skin. Try using coconut oil to remove your makeup, as it nourishes your skin in the process.

Moisturize Morning & Evening 
It may seem obvious but moisturizing your skin is crucial for keeping your skin from drying out through the cold season.

Use A Rich Body Lotion
Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula body lotion is a luxurious, creamy body lotion that deeply moisturizes the skin. It absorbs quickly while locking in moisture. It is perfect for the colder seasons.

Another option is Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Original Solid Formula, the original Palmer's moisturizer. Made of creamy cocoa butter along with vitamin E, in a soothing emollient base, to heal and soften rough, dry skin. It's made specially to moisturize very dry areas and can be used as an overnight treatment.

If you are a new mother, we would recommend that you try Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Postnatal Firming Lotion. It specially designed to firm and tone your skin after pregnancy and weight loss.

Don't Forget Your Lips 
Try to exfoliate your lips every week, and lather on lip balms, as your lips are the most fragile part of your face. Try Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Lip Care range. Specially designed to be used as year-round lip balms.

Hydrate 
It seems obvious, but it's easy to forget to drink enough water since the weather is not hot. You need to increase your water intake for your skin and your immune system.
