The cool weather makes you want to stay cosy and chill. But you must have a proper winter skincare routine so that the harsh cold weather doesn't ruin your skin. Some simple tips and ayurveda are all you need to keep your skin glowingly soft.

The need for a routine

The harsh winter winds play havoc with your skin and make it dry and irritated. Depending on your skin type, things can become serious if not taken care of. There are chapped lips, skin inflammation and redness. Your skin opens up to issues like psoriasis, acne and more. Therefore, you need a winter skincare routine to keep your skin safe in the season, including using Ayurvedic products for natural skincare.

The 5-step skincare routine

The first thing is using a cleanser. A mild face cleanser will not rob your skin of its moisture. The same goes for your body. Use a mild soap or body wash to maintain its moisture. In all this, avoid using too hot water.

The next step is to exfoliate the dried-out skin. It causes dead cells and irritated skin. Exfoliation removes those issues and gives you glowing, smooth and clean skin. Do not exfoliate too much. Limit it to once a week.

To maintain moisture after cleansing and exfoliating, use an alcohol-free toner to keep the pH balance intact. Once toned, a serum will nourish the face.

Moisturing your skin would be the next step. Opt for moisturisers and body lotions that suit your skin's needs. Both will nourish the dried-out skin. Many lip balms will keep your lips from drying in the dry winter air.

The last step is sunscreen. Harmful sun rays damage your skin in winter too. Apply sunscreen 15 minutes before stepping out. Apply frequently during the day.
