winterize your skin
skin wisdom from philosophy
don’t let time stop you from the best skin of your life
When the weather changes we modify our wardrobe. Skincare is no different. Seasonal weather changes have different effects on our skin, and it is important to make modifications to your skincare routine to adapt to the changing environment. Skin becomes dryer in the winter because the combination of the cold weather outside and heated buildings destroys the lipid layer of the skin. The lipid layer is a protective outer layer responsible for maintaining moisture balance in the skin cells. When the lipid layer is destroyed, skin becomes dry and flakey.
Make sure you are regularly using a good moisturizer during the harsh winter months. Moisturizing is the key to keeping your skin dewy, soft and supple. You should moisturize at least once a day, but preferably twice a day. Those who normally tend to have dry or sensitive skin might want to consider a heavier moisturizer during the winter. Remember, your face isn’t the only area that needs extra hydration. Your lips, hands and feet, and the delicate skin around your eyes need a little extra attention. philosophy has some helpful tips on how to take care of your skin this season.
Face
The first step to achieving healthy skin is a cleansing. Try purity made simple one-step facial cleanser to gently emulsify and dissolve dirt, debris and makeup. The unique 4-in-1 cleanser contains a multi-tasking formula that cleanses, emulsifies, tones and hydrates all in one step.
 Choose a moisturizer that suites your skin type. For those who experience extremely dry, dehydrated skin during the winter, try philosophy’s when hope is not enough replenishing cream. This highly emollient moisturizer contains borage oil, which is a natural oil rich in omega-6 essential polyunsaturated fatty acids and gamma linolenic acids. It contains anti-inflammatory, healing and anti-irritant properties to help soothe and restore moisture and smoothness to the skin. This product is great to use at night for replenishment and advanced hydration while you sleep.
Eyes
The delicate skin around your eyes requires extra hydration, and using an eye cream in addition to a moisturizer will help lock in moisture and provide anti-aging benefits. hope in a tube eye and lip firming cream contains both vitamin e and c to firm, revitalize and protect against environmental attack.
Lips
Take good care of your lips during the winter months because they retain the least amount of moisture than any other part of the body. Avoid licking your lips as this will cause them to dry out even further. A highly emollient lip balm, like philosophy’s kiss me, contains vitamin e, kiwi and sweet almond oil to keep lips soft and smooth.
