Chilly winds, lack of sun and well, smog are telling us that the sweater weather aka winter is finally here. And as we put our summer dresses back and bring out our coziest and coolest jumpers, let’s not forget to put our summer beauty bothers behind after all winter also brings us a fair share of dryness and dehydration with a side of irritations (and allergies), courtesy many pollutants. While one of the easiest ways is to keep yourself hydrated and include Vitamin C, leafy greens and fatty acids in your diet, it’s also essential to make a few skincare swaps in order to get ahead of lack-luster skin.

From Just Herbs Silksplash rehydrant face wash to Tata Harper hydrating floral mask and Daughter Earth phytonutrient moisturizer – these essentials help hydrate your skin for that healthy winter glow! And to balance body temperature, you can always use cold-pressed sesame and virgin coconut oil for hot body and scalp massage, thereby inducing warmth and regulating blood flow.

And to counter their high vulnerability your winter self-care needs some true MVPs i.e. Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, Clinique Moisture Surge Eye 96-hour hydro-filler concentrate and Enn’s Closet Keratin Custard hair mask. Then there is Forest Essentials blood orange hand serum whose beautifully divine fragrance will never ever let you forget to pay attention to your hands as well. Not to mention that even with little sun, it’s essential to use sunscreen especially one like La Roche-Posay Anthelios AOX daily antioxidant serum with sunscreen that also rejuvenates skin against environmental stressors.
