Looking for the best winter skincare products to beat the effects of cold? Or perhaps, you are just simply unaware of the right winter skin care approach to tackle cold days? Whatever the reason be, we have got your back!
Winter season calls for warm blankets, woolen clothes, hot chocolate drinks, and of course hydrating skincare essentials that help keep your skin's hydration in check while maintaining that healthy, flawless winter glow. Well, to achieve your desired skincare goals, you don't have to worry about keeping a stalk of different skincare products. Adding a few ones or replacing your existing products with more hydrating ones will take you a long way in tackling cold, chilling days during this season.
How to choose the best winter skincare products?
Before we dig deep, it is vital to know how one can choose the best winter skincare products in a hassle-free way. First, ensure to know your skin type. This will help you choose products that get easily absorbed into your skin without clogging pores or resulting in unwanted breakouts. For oily and combination skin types, gel-based and oil-free moisturisers like POND'S Super Light Gel Oil-Free Moisturiser With Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin E work the best.
For individuals with dry and normal skin, cream-based moisturisers containing key ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerin, and Niacinamide stand out to be the best available options. Also, always remember to conduct a patch test before directly applying the products to your delicate skin.
Now, let us look at the top 5 skincare essentials you must have in your daily winter care routine.
Cleanser:
You might not feel like cleansing your skin often during winter days, but it is essential to maintain the glow and healthy appearance of your skin. Start your routine by giving your skin a fresh start, using POND'S Bright Beauty Anti-Dullness Face Wash With Vitamin B3. Splash lukewarm water on your face and neck and squeeze a small amount of this product on your palm. Rub your palms gently to create lather and massage your skin for a minute. Wash off the facewash using lukewarm water and pat dry your skin with a soft cloth.
Serum:
While cleansing your skin gives you a clean base, layering it with a hydrating and nourishing face serum helps strengthen your skin barrier. This winter season, give your skin a boost of vitamins and nourishment using face serums like POND'S Bright Beauty 12% VIT C+E+A face serum that goes deep into your skin for brighter, soft, healthier, and beautiful-looking skin. Apply a few drops of this serum on your clean skin and use your fingertips to spread and massage it in your skin. Let the serum settle in your skin for a few minutes.
Moisturise:
No matter how cosy and comforting the winter season may feel, it can be quite harsh on your delicate skin. The only way to tackle winter woes is by ensuring not to skip your moisturiser in your skincare routine. Look for a lightweight, quick-absorbing, and intensely hydrating moisturiser like POND'S Fresh Glow Moisturiser with Vitamin E + Glycerin. This moisturiser suits all skin types and can be used all around the year. Scoop out a small amount of this moisturiser and apply it evenly all across your face and neck. Use your fingers to massage the product and let it settle on your skin.
Sunscreen:
Sun is out 365 days of the year and so are the harmful UV rays. You might think cloudy days give you an excuse to skip sunscreen, but that is not how it works. UV rays can easily penetrate through clouds and reach out to the deepest layers of your skin. So, always wrap up your skincare routine by applying a good layer of broad-spectrum sunscreen like POND'S Sun Miracle SPF 50 PA+++ Crème Gel Sunscreen on your face and neck. For better results, apply the sunscreen at least 15 to 20 minutes before walking out in the sun. This will allow the sunscreen to settle in your skin while brightening and protecting your skin from unforgiving harmful UVA and UVB rays.
Body Lotion:
Taking care of the rest of your body is as important as taking care of your face. While it may not be required to apply a layer of different products on your body, choosing the right hydrating and nourishing body lotion is a must. Look for body lotions with active ingredients and SPF that hydrate and protect your skin in one application, like POND'S Sun Miracle SPF 30 PA+++ Sunscreen Body Lotion with Niacinamide. After taking a relaxing shower, apply this body lotion all over your body and spread it evenly using your palms.
And, that is all it takes to achieve plump, supple, and radiating skin throughout the chilling winter season.
