Indulge yourself this winter with the latest skincare trends handpicked just for you.
Whether oily, dry or combination skin, we all can agree that winters always take a toll on our skin. With the change in temperatures and the decrease in humidity, the need for skincare becomes more prevalent and crucial.
Skincare expert, Arpita Das, Founder and Managing Director of Beauness By Arpita says, “Ideally, we should be taking care of our skin throughout the year. But especially during the winter season, the skin gets rough and dehydrated. It is important to build a skin regime that suits your skin type. And provides your skin with all the hydration that it needs so that it stays healthy. It is important to be consistent. And give your skin some extra pampering during this time of the year.”
With the ever-evolving skincare trends, we can be sure to have flawless skin this winter. Here is the top six skincare trends picked out just for you.
- Skinimalism: It refers to knowing your skin and what it needs. This trend is about firstly understanding the skin’s natural texture. And secondly adopting simple yet effective skincare routines to deal with any skin issues at hand.
- Hydration and moisturisation: These are good-old steps that never disappoint. Wellness expert, Richa Agarwal says, “It is imperative to apply a light moisturiser. As it locks in the moisture and prevents our skin from drying out. It is also vital to keep our body hydrated. As it keeps our skin nourished during the cold season.”
- Face/facial oils: Face oils are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants. It helps protect and nourish the skin against the dry and cold winter air. They are said to be one of the key steps off fighting dull skin in winter.
- Vitamin D supplements: Taking vitamin D supplements is the key for the skin’s defences during colder months. Inflammatory conditions like acne, rosacea and eczema often flare up when we have vitamin D deficiency. This can further cause hormonal imbalances, in turn affecting the skin.
- Skin cycling: This is a fast-emerging trend on TikTok. It calls for not using the same skincare routine every day. But using a different active ingredient every four days. It helps to prevent irritation and inflammation from overuse of active ingredients.
- Tone down exfoliation: No matter how flaky your skin becomes, exfoliating it too much. It can impair the skin barrier, leading to more skin issues. The secret is to not over do it because less is always more.
