How to Build the Perfect Winter Skincare Routine with Ozone Ayurvedics
It’s no secret that winter can be brutal on your skin. Those chilly winds and dry air can wreak havoc on your skin, leaving it dry, flaky, and begging for some TLC. And that’s when you realise – it’s not just your wardrobe that needs a major makeover, your skin does too! Building the perfect winter skin care routine is as easy as 1-2-3, especially when you have Ozone Ayurvedics to rely on. So, if you’re not already practicing a winter skin care routine for your skin, it’s time to start.
Why Does Your Skin Need Extra Care in Winter?
Winter isn’t always kind to our skin. But do you know why? During the colder months, the humidity in the air drops, and indoor heating strips even more moisture from your skin. This combination of cold weather outside and heated air inside is a recipe for pure skin disaster, leading to dry patches, tightness, and sometimes even redness. And if you already have dry skin, it can feel like a constant battle to keep your face from feeling like a desert. It is only with the right winter skin care routine that you can protect your skin from the cold and keep it looking soft, smooth, and glowing too.
Your Winter Skincare Shop-list
Before we start, here’s a quick shopping list of winter skin care products you need to get started.
- A gentle, hydrating cleanser
- A hydrating toner
- A rich moisturizer
- Sunscreen (yes, even in winter!)
- A creamy body lotion
Gentle Cleansing to Start Fresh
Cleansing is the foundation of any skincare routine. But in winter, you’ve got to be extra cautious. Ditch those harsh cleansers that leave your skin feeling squeaky clean, because squeaky means stripped of natural oils. Instead, go for a gentle cleanser that hydrates while also getting rid of all the dirt, grime, and impurities.
Ozone Ayurvedics offers a wide range of mild face washes that are perfect for all skin types. Pick as per your own skin needs.
- Dry Skin: Aloe Vera Face Wash is ideal to combat dryness. Complexion Brightening Face Wash will help brighten winter dullness.
- Oily Skin: Acne Check Face Wash and Neem Face Wash are made just for your skin type.
- Combination Skin: For those with combination skin, look no further than the Perfect Skin Tone Face Wash.
Hydrate with a Toner
Toners are the underrated magic potion for your skin, no matter the season. In winter, hydrating toners are your best friends. Just a couple of spritzes and you are all set! During winters, you may want to look for toners enriched with rose water or aloe vera to deeply hydrate and even moisturize your skin. Ozone’s Classic Rose Toner will reenergize and hydrate your dull, dry skin for a brighter looking, hydrated skin.
Don’t Skip Moisturizer
Now, let’s get to the star of your winter skin care routine—the moisturizer. This step is non-negotiable, especially in winters! A good moisturizer acts like a protective shield, locking in hydration and preventing water loss. In winter, your skin wants something more hydrating to lock in all that hydration and nourishment.
- Dry Skin: For your winter skin care routine for dry skin, choose a rich, creamy moisturizer, like Ozone’s Youth Restoring Hydrant that intensely nourishes dry and dull skin.
- Oily Skin: Go for a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer that hydrates without clogging pores. Acne Check Hydrant will be your perfect winter moisturizer.
- Combination Skin: Keep your routine simple with a balanced moisturizer that offers hydration without heaviness. You can try the Perfect Skin Tone Hydrant or Complexion Brightening Hydrant for that all-season-long glow.
Sun Protection Isn’t Just for Summer
Surprise! You still need sunscreen in winter. Don’t underestimate the winter sun – it can be harsh and can still damage your skin even on cloudy days. Pick a sunscreen with SPF 30 (or more) and apply it daily before going out. Ozone Ayurvedics Glow4Sure Sunscreen Lotion comes with SPF 30 PA+++, perfect for when you need to step out in the winter sun. Just slather it on 15-20 minutes before leaving – that’s all!
Body Care is a Must
Winter skincare isn’t just about your face. Your body needs love too! After all, who doesn’t want soft, smooth skin from head to toe? So right after your shower, slather on a good body lotion to lock in moisture – like Ozone’s Deep Hydrating Body Lotion. True to its name, it deeply hydrates and moisturizes dry, parched, flaky skin – thanks to nourishing ingredients present in it, including shea butter, aloe vera and almond oil. Don’t forget to pay attention to the extra dry areas of the body, like elbows and legs.
