Bundle up your skin for the winter

Yes, it's that time of the year again. Winter. This season is definitely not my favorite especially since winter in Canada is absolutely terrible. That also means that my skin needs extra love and protection. The winter air can make your skin dry up and crack. Remember that your skin protects your body from external factors. If the skin is cracked, there's a portal of entry and all kinds of pathogens can throw their own little or big party in the skin a.k.a an infection. The cold weather can also strip your skin of its radiance and make it look dull. 

During the winter, oils, ointments and thick creams are going to be your best friends. Don't hesitate to slather them on your skin to form a protective barrier against the cold. Use a gentle non-drying cleanser (such as the Stay Pure cleansing powder) and apply your moisturizers on damp skin to lock in the skin as much moisture as possible. A few times a week, exfoliate your skin to get rid of dead cells and to soften your skin. You can also apply a nice hydrating face mask to boost your skin's hydration.

My collection of facial oils is the perfect element to include in your winter skincare routine. They are ultra-moisturizing and prevent your skin from drying up. The facial oils are super rich in nutrients and do not feel heavy on the skin. You can apply your facial oil in the morning and at night or as much as you need throughout the day. Also, don't forget about your winter clothes! Wear your gloves, hats and scarfs to keep your skin nice, warm and hydrated.
