Daily Cleansing Process For Skin Care In Winter

 Winter has great challenges for skin health, for which a tailored approach is necessary for skin care. Today we will consider our daily routine for cleansing our skin to keep it hydrated, elastic, and smooth. By practicing these procedures, we will achieve shiny, transparent, and soft skin.

Science of Skin Care to understand the impacts of winter season on our skin

As we know, skin is the most important organ of our body and acts as a protective shield against environmental effects. The cold winter climate adversely impacts our skin, leading to dryness, irritation, and sensitivity. A daily cleansing routine, as per recommendations of dermatologists, will keep our skin healthy, shiny, and smoother than ever before.

Due to the low humidity level of the air, our skin will receive natural moisture. Furthermore, indoor healing intensifies dryness by reducing moisture. Owing to compromised lipid barrier of our skin, transepidermal water loss (TEWL) occurs. The main symptoms of this are redness and solidity of skin.

Common skin concerns in winter are dry/cracked skin, sensitive itchy-welled skin, and flaked & irritated skin.

Why Cleansing Is Vital Core Of Our Skin Health

Cleansing pulls out adulterations, make-up, and surplus oil. It enables our skin to flourish and freely absorb natural, healthy ingredients. However, we must avoid over-cleansing & under-cleansing.

Planning the best Cleansing for Winter .

Select an accurate Cleanser

• Cleansers that have glycerine to top-up moisture in the skin. 
• Cleansers with cream-oriented ingredients to smoothen and polish dry / sensitive skin.
• For the removal of heavy make-up an oil-based cleanser is appropriate.
• Hard cleansers with alcohol must be avoided.

Cleansing Strategy

Double Step Cleansing:

First Step: oil-saturated cleanser to remove make-up and sunscreen.

Second Step: Hydrated cleanser to eradicate internal adulterations.

 Timing of Cleansing

In the morning, cleaning revitalizes the skin and eradicates overnight sebo / grease.
In the evening, cleansing is mandatory for getting rid of whole-day make-up and spoilages.
