Here at CKIN⁺, we formulate products that you can use all seasons. Needless to say, some formulations are even more beneficial during cold months.

Do you get tight skin, rough knuckles, chapped lips? Say hello to winter! During winter, skin is more likely to lose its moisture which leaves us with drier and more compromised skin barrier. Unfortunately, not treating dry skin accelerates aging process too.

Here are top 5 tips to combat cold weather to keep a healthy and a glowing skin!

 

Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize!

Since skin tends to lose moisture and dry out during cold months, moisturizing your skin daily becomes even more imperative. Any time you wash your face, hands, or body, you strip your skin of its natural oils.

Formulations that contain Ceramides + moisture locking ingredients are excellent in keeping your skin protected against drying and cracking.

Try Phyto Ceramide Q10 - clinically researched formula that works as a moisturizer and an overnight treatment. It contains a pure form of ceramides and powerful emollients to moisturize and replenish skin!

 

Use Overnight Treatments!

There is nothing better than leaving your skin to soak up nutrients overnight! Anhydrous serums are excellent additons to your skin care routine.

By applying emollients and occlusives to your skin overnight, your skin will have the time it needs to absorb the treatment and to replenish your skin with the moisture and oils it needs.

Use A Gentle Cleanser!

When skin prone to get drier during winter, you should go easy on exfoliants and harsh cleansers as they can have adverse affects on skin's moisture barrier. They could also dry skin out more!

Opt for a gentle, no fragnance, cleanser such as Very Berry Cleansing Oil Balm! - Clinically researched formulation that works as a cleansing balm AND a cleansing oil! This cleanser will clean your skin without drying and stripping! The hydrating actives will leave your skin fresh, while rich oils will moisturize your skin barrier!

Apply SPF!

Even in winter, harmful UV light can still stress your skin’s moisture barrier, which is vital for maintaining skin health and hydration. Try adding a layer of sunscreen each morning after you’ve applied a moisturizer.

 

 

Use A Humidifier!

 Humidifiers help to add moisture back into the air, and this can be really helpful  when your room is warm. Having more moisture in the air can help act as a natural moisturizing agent which prevents and relieve skin dryness.

According to Harvard Health Publishing, having a humidifier setting of 60% in winter months can restore moisture in the top layer of skin!
