Although Miami isn’t known for intense cold, the temperatures have dropped enough these days to affect our skin. 🥶 When the air cools and humidity decreases, the skin loses moisture more quickly. This can make it look dry, dull, and prone to irritation. And no one wants their skin to turn into a raisin in the middle of winter!
To keep it hydrated, it’s important to use the right products. Creams with hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and natural oils are perfect for nourishing the skin and restoring the skin barrier, protecting it from external factors. Remember, your skin is not a sponge… but it doesn’t want to be a mummy either!
Exfoliating once a week is key, as it removes dead skin cells and allows hydration to penetrate better. Just don’t overdo it, as excessive exfoliation in cold weather can irritate the skin, and no one wants to look like a tomato…
Cold weather can also make your skin feel tight. If you’re going out, make sure to use a rich moisturizer and sunscreen because, even if it’s cloudy, UV rays are still present. And don’t forget to drink plenty of water! 💦 Hydrating from the inside out is just as important as moisturizing on the outside.
Finally, keep in mind that dry indoor environments can worsen dryness, so maintain a comfortable temperature at home. With these simple steps, you can prevent the cold from ruining your skin and keep it soft and radiant, just the way it should be! But if you need some extra TLC, consider booking a facial with us at Healing Hands.
