As the seasons change so should your skincare routine, especially if you live in northern states where dry and cold weather is the norm and sometimes your skin follows suit. Incorporating a few changes into your daily skincare routine or swapping out a few more hydrating products is the key to a seamless transition!
At Alora Aesthetics we believe a solid skincare routine is the first step in combatting aging and damage to your skin and the best way to protect yourself.
Switch to a Milk Cleanser
The first step in every skincare routine should always be a great cleanser. Cleansing at least twice a day helps remove dirt and makeup and prepares the skin to properly absorb the preceding products applied to the skin. Our Milky Lotion Cleanser is the perfect option to add to your winterized skincare routine since it is tailored for dry and sensitive skin types which are common in colder months.
Hydration is Key
If there is one thing to remember about protecting your skin in winter, it is hydration. Hydrating the skin is the number one way to fight against the loss of moisture in the air. It also helps avoid flakiness and acne, and some formulas even prevent fine lines and wrinkles. Our go-to pick for keeping the skin hydrated and glowing is the Intensive Nourishing Cream. This ultra-rich cream is great for all skin types and even has added benefits that are great for anti-aging.
Don’t Forget Those Hands and Lips
If you are like most people your hands and lips tend to feel the effects of colder temperatures first. Incorporating a hand and lip treatment that is specifically formulated for these more sensitive areas can be the difference between dry and crackled skin to smooth and hydrated! Try our Restorative Hand Cream or Anti-Aging Lip Renewal to hydrate those hands and lips.
The UVs Still Come Out in Winter
When it seems like the sun hasn’t come out in months it is sometimes easy to forget the most important step in skincare which is sunscreen. UV rays are still present and able to penetrate winter clouds so make sure to seal the deal with some SPF like the Daily Shield. If you are the active type and a regular on the slopes then SPF is an absolute must since the sun loves to reflect off the snow! There are countless SPFs out there but make sure to choose one that hydrates the skin and is formulated for more sensitive areas such as your face and neckline.
