It is said that winter can be harsh. Regarding our skincare and makeup routine, we may need to pay extra attention to fight off the harshness of the cold. The chilly air tends to cause skin dryness and flakiness. Thus, it has become a must to adapt our routines.
This article will discuss makeup tips for cold weather so your skin stays radiant and healthy throughout the colder months!
Hydrate
The winter air is very dry, which leads to skin dehydration. Even for the NBA odds today, there’s no doubt that hydration is the real key to surviving winter dryness. Fortunately, many wealthy, nourishing, and hydrating products on the market can suit your skin type. You can turn to cleansing balms like the Peptide Calm Balm, which has peptides and shea butter, as your alternative makeup remover.
Peptides and shea butter, in particular, have hydrating properties. Thus, they help prevent the skin from feeling stripped of its essential oils or too tight. A cleansing balm’s moisturizing properties can also fulfil the need for more hydration during the winter, as dryness becomes more commonly experienced.
Textures and Whatnot
During cold weather, we do not recommend using gel-type moisturizers or super watery products like toners, serums, and essences. There’s a singular condition for their usage, and that is that they need sealing with the help of a product that is rich in oil.
Moreover, these skincare products need time to sink in properly. If you go outside and your skin is moist with the products, it won’t be wise because the moisture freezes and sends the cold directly into the skin.
When working with cold weather in mind, you also have to learn to work with more liquidy textures. As said earlier, sealing through a moisturizer is the key since it will not slip off the face as easily.
We also recommend something a little lighter for the face regarding makeup. But before applying the base, we’ll talk about primers first.
Quality Primer
Remember to use your primer! The primer prepares the skin to become a great base for makeup and helps the makeup last much longer. It also acts as a barrier between skin and makeup. In the winter, we recommend using a hydrating primer so that the finish is dewy and not dry.
When looking for a primer, look for ingredients such as Vitamin E, Vitamin C, and others that
hydrate and nourish the skin.
Avoid Overly Matte Finishes
Since we avoid dryness and cakiness, we recommend avoiding overly matte bases. Instead, we recommend going for something with a more skinlike finish, which will be undetectable on the skin and blend better.
However, since we want the base to last on the skin for a long time, not a short time, make sure the formula is reliable and has longevity power. After all, your makeup’s staying power is only as good as your base.
Wrapping Up
Hydration is the key to remaining glowing and glam this winter. The winter months will hit soon, and with that comes the fear of dryness. With these tips, we hope you can combat the impending dryness. Happy glamming!
