It’s been said that you should change your skincare routine to match the changing weather. This is because cold days, low humidity, and artificial heating in winter can cause our skin to become dry, lifeless, or sensitive.
If you haven’t done so already, it is time to incorporate some winter skin savers into your daily regimen. Find out which products are recommended by the BC pros to keep your skin glowing through the winter months.
Vitaminic Concentrate
In winter, adding oil to your nightly routine will help strengthen the barrier of your skin, preventing moisture from escaping and making your skin plump, radiant, and glowing (seriously!) Don’t be afraid to use oils. For many years, I’ve relied on my trusted friend Pevonia Vitaminic Concentrate to keep my skin hydrated during the winter. It is a dry, luxurious oil that absorbs quickly. It has a delicious mandarin scent that is hard to resist. This oil combats premature aging, excessive dryness, and dehydration all at once!
Age Correction Marine Collagen Cream & Intensifier Collagen and Myoxy Caviar
Hyaluronic acid is an essential part of any skincare regimen. This is a basic all-year-round, but my favorite winter skincare must is Hyaluronic Acid. Hyaluronic acid is the king of hydration, and dehydration is a major problem. The cooler months are the perfect time to focus on skincare!
Pevonia Age Correction, Marine Collagen cream, is my ‘cannot-live-without’ product this season. It is a cream that combines hyaluronic and marine collagen to replenish moisture in the skin. Love, love, love it!
You will see the benefits of using the Intensifier in conjunction with the Cream. No more dry, lacklustre skin! No more dull, dry skin!
Phytomer Night Charge Youth Enhancing Cream
Winter is the best time to use a night cream that nourishes your skin! It is important to apply hydration to your skin at night to maximize absorption and improve the barrier. I use Phytomer’s Night Recharge Cream in the winter because my skin needs that extra layer. The Cream wraps my face in nourishing moisture and restores youthful vitality the next morning. Why would I use another product when I love the way my skin feels and looks when I awake?
Phytomer Vegetable Exfoliant with Enzymes Natural
Exfoliating during the winter may not be on your radar when you suffer from dry, sensitive, or itchy skin. However, there are many benefits. It not only helps to slough away those dead, dry skin cells but also regenerates new ones. Be sure to choose a chemical exfoliant (don’t be scared by the name) over a physical one. Physical exfoliants, which use granules in order to remove dead skin cells physically, can be harsh on winter skin that is already sensitive. They also cause further drying. No, thank you! Use an exfoliator that contains AHAs, BHAs, or natural enzymes to remove the top layer gently. The vegetable exfoliant with natural Enzymes is my winter go-to. It’s a gentle and soft exfoliant that contains natural enzymes to encourage cell turnover. My skin is smooth, silky, and visibly radiant after using it twice a week! Try it; your skin will be grateful!
Phytomer Algodefense Multi-Protective Cream SPF 20
Sunscreen is a must for me, and I have a good reason for it. SPF, along with other key ingredients, is the most important anti-aging ingredient. It’s important to protect the skin against harmful UV rays in winter as well. I use a lighter moisturizer in the summer with a higher SPF on my face. However, I started using the Multi-Protective Anti-Wrinkle Cream for the winter and am in love. It’s hydrating and nurturing as well as protecting. My skin has never been better! It has regained its radiance. It’s at the top of my winter skincare list now!
Phytomer Ultra-Nourishing Hand Creme
In winter, I find that a good hand cream is essential. Why not take care of our hands the same way we treat our faces and bodies? Before I found Oleocreme Ultra Nourishing Hand Creme, I wouldn’t say I liked the feeling of hand cream. I would wash my hands right after applying it. No more! My favorite hand lotion (and I have tried many) absorbs immediately into the skin and intensively nourishes, soothes, and softens dry, damaged fingers. I carry it with me everywhere!
Pevonia Dry Body Oil Moisturiser
In the winter, I am guilty, like anyone else, of neglecting parts of my body that I take care of religiously in summer. It’s still important to keep up with your routines throughout the year, as your skin will lose moisture like your facial! Do you know that tight, itchy feeling we all get in the winter?
If you don’t like to use rich body moisturizers, I understand. Shea butter and other richer formulations can be beneficial to your skin. However, a dry oil can also be effective in preventing your skin from becoming dry and flaky. Pevonia’s Dry Oil Body Moisturiser has always been my favorite. It literally pampers my skin without leaving an oily or gritty feeling. It is extremely nourishing but absorbs instantly, which I LOVE. My skin feels silky soft after each application.
It’s best to use it immediately after a shower or bath to lock in moisture. It will also restore moisture from standing in the super-hot water that we all enjoy!
