Protect and Hydrate: The Ultimate Winter Skincare Guide

Winter skincare mainly consists of combating dryness and protecting your skin from cold weather conditions. Cold weather has a different impact on the skin than hot weather, like stripping moisture from the skin.

Winter skincare refers to a specific approach to caring for your skincare during the harsh weather of this cold season. It mainly involves the usage of hydrating products – as the cold conditions cause dryness, protecting the skin barrier, and addressing issues of the skin like flakiness, irritation, and sensitivity. The products used in this skincare routine mainly contain ingredients like hyaluronic acid or ceramides to keep the skin healthy.

An important point to note is that winter skincare is practiced on the whole body, not just the face. Cold weather and low humidity affect all areas of the skin, not just the face. The body loses moisture due to indoor heating, hot showers, etc., leading to flakiness and dryness. By keeping your entire body moisturized and hydrated with different products and methods, you can prevent more skin problems from arising.

Many experience chapped lips, itchy skin, cracked heels, and rough hands because of this particular weather. This is why we recommend BBA’s Shea Body Butter, as it keeps the skin hydrated and soft. As for the lips, BBA’s Lip-Aid Lip Sleeping Mask helps completely erase any dry, chapped feeling and replaces it with soft, supple lips. It is always necessary to keep your body moisturized no matter what, so using BBA’s Hyaluronic Cloud-Cream Hydrating Moisturizer, would be a great start. It gives relief to parched, dry skin and gives up to 12 hours of hydration. BBA’s Shea Foot Cream is great for cracked heels and dry feet because it helps soften the skin in those areas and provides protection to the skin there, leading to less irritation and discomfort. Similarly, with hands, we recommend Shea Hand Cream, which brings softness to the skin and removes irritation and discomfort.

Now focusing on the skin of the face, the main goal is to keep it protected and hydrated. A good product to use would be a hydrating serum, like BBA’s SH Hydrating Serum. It can be used for all skin types and should be applied right after toner and before any oil-based moisturizer. A toner is also important when it comes to winter skincare, as it helps remove impurities from your skin, but it benefits even more if you use BBA’s Hyaluronic Acid Toner, as it provides hydration and leaves the skin pulp and glowing. 

There is a lot that comes with this particular approach to skincare, so there is a more concise layout of a skincare routine provided here:
