Winter is here, bringing the cosiest vibes and some of the most happening times of the year! But, along with the lovely shift in weather, hot beverages, and snuggling for a little extra time under your warm blankets, comes a new set of skin challenges to deal with.
Cold winds, dry climate, and chilling temperatures can quite easily strip away the natural oils from your skin, leading to sudden tightness around the skin, dryness, and a parched appearance that not many are fond of. To help combat winter woes hassle-free, we curated some essential winter skincare that is a must-have for glowing, plump, and radiant-looking skin!
Before we dig deep, let us understand why skincare for winter is so important for Indian skin types.
Understanding Indian Winter Skin Needs
In India, winter can vary drastically from one region to another region. For instance, people residing in north India might experience cold to freezing weather where the temperature often drops below 10℃. On the other hand, winter can be a refreshing time from the usual tropical heat for people residing in southern India.
However, despite these variations, one factor remains constant which is the need to combat dryness and unwanted skin concerns that winter brings. Using lightweight and intensely hydrating moisturising creams with active ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin E can do wonders for most Indian skin types, keeping all the winter skin problems at bay.
But, How to take care of skin in winter?' or How to get glowing skin in winter?'
Well, the answer to all such questions is simple-a hydrating winter skincare routine featuring products that intensely hydrate and moisturise your skin, providing lasting effects. Here are must-have winter-season skincare essentials that you cannot miss out on:
Gentle Cleansing
Cleansing forms a strong foundation for any skincare routine, but winter calls for a gentler approach. This is because the harsh climates and cold winds reduce the ability of skin to hold and retain moisture naturally. Using harsh chemical-based face washes can trigger various skin problems and make things more challenging for your skin. Using a gentle yet effective face wash like POND'S Hydra Light Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Gel Face Wash offers a deep cleansing experience without being too harsh and unforgiving on your skin.
For best results, use this face wash twice a day before starting your day and night skincare routines. If washing your face with cold water is not feasible for you, opt for lukewarm water.
Hydration Essentials
Your winter skincare routine should be all about hydration and nourishment. Winter demands intensely hydrating and nourishing moisturisers, like POND'S Super Light Gel Oil-Free Moisturisers With Hyaluronic Acid, that offer a deep hydrating skin experience without clogging pores or leaving a greasy residue behind.
While moisturisers are essential, to combat unforgiving winter woes, you will need skincare essentials that are more powerful and hydrating than topical skin moisturisers, such as a hydrating face serum. Face serums penetrate layers deep into your skin, treating skin concerns from the root and providing that much-needed hydration boost to your delicate skin. Look for Hyaluronic Acid based serums like POND'S Hydra Light Hyaluronic Acid Complex 2% Serum that offers long-lasting hydration while leaving your skin looking all plumped and glowing.
Continued Sun Protection
During winter, don't let your sunscreen take the backseat just because it is chilling and cloudy outside. Harmful UV rays are harsh in nature and can easily penetrate through clouds, reaching your skin and triggering various skin concerns. Contrary to popular belief, including a broad-spectrum sunscreen with active ingredients in your routine can help keep your skin protected and nourished, no matter how low the temperature drops.
Look for broad-spectrum sunscreen containing complementing active ingredients, like POND'S Sun Miracle SPF 55 PA+++ Light Sunscreen With Niacinamide that helps not only protect your skin from UV rays but combat dark spots and promote brighter-looking skin. Apply a sufficient amount of this sunscreen 15-20 minutes before walking out in the sun.
Nighttime Renewal
The perfect time to pamper your skin and always wake up with soft, plump skin is investing in the nighttime skincare routine. Your skin naturally repairs itself overnight and investing in a nighttime skincare routine helps enhance the process. A hydrating night skincare can be very basic, including skincare essentials like a hydrating face wash, a Hyaluronic Acid face serum, and a hydrating night gel like POND'S Hydra Light Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Night Gel to repair, and replenish, and give your skin glowing plump effect overnight.
Conclusion
While you enjoy the relaxing shift in weather, don't forget to pamper your skin the right way. A well-balanced winter skincare routine is the secret to achieving healthy, radiant, and glowing skin that you simply cannot resist. Let this winter season be all about healthy skin transformation with POND'S Hydrating Skincare Products.
Here is to a happy and glowing skin that makes everyone stop and take a double look!
