Winter Skin Care Tips

When you step outside and feel the cold dry air on your skin and realise you’re not sitting on the beach sipping your mojito, you know it’s winter.

It’s not just the cold air that can cause damage to your skin. Stress can cause break outs, high sugar consumption can decrease collagen production, as well as drinking less water in the colder months.

Here are our winter skin tips to ensure your skin survives the cold weather.

Winter Skin Care Tips

Winter Skin Tip #1: Stay Hydrated!

It is important to keep yourself hydrated in the colder months. It’s easy to forget to drink water when we are not sitting in the heat or working up a sweat walking from our front door to the car. Ensuring you are hydrated will boost collagen in your body ensuring your hair, skin, and nails will stay strong, plump and hydrated.

Winter Skin Care Tips

Winter Skin Tip #2: Silk Pillow Case

Silk pillow cases have shown to help prevent wrinkles, as the fabric is soft on your face when you are sleeping and dreaming about puppies. Bonus tip: Silk pillow cases are also beneficial for our customers ZALA Tape Extensions ensuring your extensions are exposed to the most gentle sleeping conditions.

Winter Skin Care Tips

Winter Skin Tip #3: Hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid is high in moisture which helps bind to the skin, keeping it plump and hydrated. It is a natural ingredient found in oily substances such as coconut and olives. Hyaluronic acid is a perfect addition to your winter skin care regime to keep your skin looking young and hydrated in these colder months.

Winter Skin Care Tips

Winter Skin Tip #4: Sunscreen

As odd as it may sound in winter, the sun can STILL penetrate your skin causing damage. It is important to protect your skin with sunscreen all year round to keep it as healthy as possible.
