With the arrival of winter and the change of weather conditions, our daily routines also change. The harsh weather conditions that we are exposed to in the winter months, hot baths, humid environments caused by heaters and sudden changes in weather affect the horn layer of our skin and cause it to dry out more. For this reason, problems such as flaking, shedding, cracking and stretching may occur in dry skin types. In order to take precautions against such skin problems and atopic eczema attacks, you should moisturize your skin intensively in both your morning and evening care and deeply cleanse your skin from dead cells on its surface so that the moisturizer can be better absorbed. In order to protect and moisturize your skin, you should organize your routines in the most appropriate way for your skin needs and not skip them. In a skin care routine, deep cleansing and moisturizing the skin are the most important steps to pay attention to. In skin care performed in the winter months, moisturizing becomes extra important. Especially people with dehydrated, dry, sensitive and atopic skin types that need more protection in the winter months should not skip these steps.
So how can you organize your skin care routine in the winter months? Let's examine the skin care steps that must be done together.
Skin Care Recommendations for Winter
The main step of your skin care routine in summer and winter should be to cleanse your face. Cleaning the skin ensures that the skin care products to be applied in the following steps are better absorbed from the pores and are more effective. At the end of a day of makeup or after a walk where you only apply sunscreen, you should definitely cleanse your face of cosmetic products and environmental dirt trapped in your skin's natural oil. It is very important to use natural products and cleanse thoroughly in the skin cleansing step. When choosing your facial cleanser, you should make sure that you choose a product that does not dry or irritate your skin. Chemical-based skin-drying and irritating products can cause atopic eczema attacks, especially in dry and sensitive skin. Therefore, you should turn to products with natural ingredients.
You can clean your skin gently and effectively with products with natural ingredients prepared for dry and sensitive skin types, and safely complete the first step of your skin care routine without damaging the skin pH value.
We recommend a two-stage cleansing in the evening to deeply cleanse the skin and ensure that moisturizing care products are better absorbed by the skin. In the first stage, you can use the Facial Cleansing Balm containing Coconut and Castor Oil, which cleanses without abrasion and drying the skin for normal, dry and sensitive skin, and the Facial Cleansing Oil containing Mint and Castor Oil, which helps balance the oil secretion of the skin, for combination and oily skin.
The Most Important Step of Winter Skin Care: Moisturizing
Now is the time to moisturize your skin after cleansing and toning it. Make sure you use a moisturizer prepared with ingredients suitable for your skin type. Otherwise, you may experience problems such as oiliness, acne, and dryness and itching due to insufficient moisturizing. After cleansing your face, products that do not require rinsing, such as creams or tonics, should have the appropriate pH value. Because these products provide a permanent effect on your skin. In addition, a good moisturizer must contain moisturizing substances. Valuable plant waters, botanical glycerins, extracts that provide moisture to the skin are good examples of these substances. Kudra Nourishing Moisturizing Face Creams, prepared entirely with herbal ingredients, are prepared according to the needs of different skin types.
If you have dry and sensitive skin and experience skin problems such as flaking, itching, redness and rashes from time to time, and atopy attacks, you should use the soothing and softening Chamomile Oil + Primrose Oil Nourishing Moisturizing Cream.
It is known that oil-based products alone do not moisturize the skin.Oil-based products, which can help the skin maintain its own moisture with their softening and pore-covering effects, can only be used on young and healthy skin that does not need external moisture intake.
Protect Your Skin from Sun Rays Even in Cloudy Weather
A care step that many people ignore due to the sun hiding itself in the winter months is using sunscreen. Since the general perception is that it should be used when going out in the sun, this is a misleading situation. However, UVA rays from the sun continue to damage your skin in the winter.
Even if the weather is cloudy and cloudy, 90 percent of the Ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun continue to reach the earth and cause photoaging of the skin. Cloudy or cloudy weather does not prevent the damage that the sun does to the skin. Therefore, you should not forget to protect your skin from sun rays in your winter care routine.
Providing 97% protection against UVA and UVB rays with a factor of +40 when exposed to sunlight, the 100% natural Sun Protection Balsam containing Calendula and Zinc Minerals not only protects sensitive skin against the damaging effects of the sun, but also softens the skin and repairs irritations.
Beware of Sun Rays Increasing Exponentially in Snowy Weather
The amount of UV affected by the snow-covered surface increases exponentially due to the high reflection of sunlight. Due to the reflection, sunburn may also occur in areas such as the chin, upper lip and neck, which are normally protected from sunlight.
After deeply cleansing and moisturizing your skin with products suitable for your skin type, we recommend that you use serums and balms suitable for your needs to strengthen and nourish the skin barrier. Serums and balms contribute to the skin's renewal process. With regular use, you can support the resolution of problems in your skin. You should apply restorative skin care applications during the hours when the skin renews itself and you are away from external factors. For this reason, adding it to your night routine gives better results.
You should not neglect your skin care during the winter months and complete it with effective products. By providing the moisture and support your skin needs, you can spend the winter months with a healthy and radiant skin.
