1. Maintain a daily winter skin care routine
You can take care of your skin less frequently in the summer, but in the winter, you need to take care of your skin on a regular basis to keep it smooth and moist. Because the skin is constantly exposed to harmful agents from the outside, in the winter, the skin also faces the risk of dehydration, loss of moisture, weakened skin barrier, so this is the time. Your skin needs the most thoughtful and regular care.
If you have oily skin, dehydration will cause the body to increase sebum production to replace the lost water, so adequate skin care will reduce the amount of oil secreted, and at the same time keep the skin healthy. skin is healthy and shiny.

In winter, you should prioritize using an oil-based makeup remover instead of a water-based makeup remover to clean impurities but still retain the natural oil layer on the skin.

4. Don't forget lip balm
The skin of the lips is thinner than the rest of the face, so they are more vulnerable to the harsh elements of winter. To replenish moisture and protect this skin area, you must not forget to moisturize your lips. You can moisturize your lips all day instead of just before going to bed.
You can use tinted lip balm instead of matte lipstick to moisturize your lips. Or you can make your own lip balm from natural ingredients that are good for your lips like butter, beeswax or olive oil, without chemicals or preservatives.
5. Regular exfoliation
Your winter skin care routine will not be complete without exfoliation. In winter, the skin barrier works more slowly, so the amount of dead skin cells will accumulate more than usual. This is one of the reasons why your skin looks dry, severely flaky.
Exfoliating is a great way to remove dead skin that has accumulated on the surface. If regular granular physical exfoliation doesn't work for you, try chemical exfoliants that contain AHAs and BHAs to help with cell renewal.

As for moisturizing, sheet masks, cream masks or sleeping masks will be the 3 best choices for you. All three types have the main use of providing moisture to the skin, improving skin problems and nourishing the skin from deep within. Moisturizing active ingredients commonly found in masks for dry skin include hyaluronic acid, glycerin, honey, and aloe.
7. Limit products that dry out the skin
The following are typical ingredients in skincare products that can cause dry skin that you should avoid using:
- Retinoids: While retinoids are effective in treating acne, wrinkles, and skin conditions, retinoids may not be suitable for dry skin. Because one of the common side effects of retinoids is irritation, dry skin can be made worse.
- Benzoyl Peroxide: Similar to retinoids, Benzoyl Peroxide is also known for its potential to cause irritation if taken in excess, causing skin peeling, itching, irritation, and redness.
- Alcohol (alcohol): If you use too much alcohol, it will strip the skin's natural moisture barrier and weaken the skin barrier.
- Salicylic Acid: Although salicylic acid has the ability to exfoliate and support anti-inflammatory effects on the skin. However, side effects such as dryness, burning, and redness can occur as soon as you start salicylic acid.
- Fragrance (fragrance): This is one of the leading causes of skin allergies. If fragrances irritate your skin, they can turn your skin dry and flaky. Keep this ingredient in mind when you're looking for the right skin care products.
