Winter is always a tough time for skin care, whether it’s on the body or the face, and whether you spend your winter months in South Africa or travelling internationally.
As winter approaches, our skin becomes drier and more irritated due to the lack of moisture. To help combat this we explore what some of the secrets are to beautiful supple silky skin all winter long.
DRY LIPS-Avoid allowing the condition of your lips to become dry and painful by applying a moisturising lip balm during the day. Our favourite multi-taskeris SENSAI Lip Base –the perfect item to moisturise your lips and keep your lipstick colour in place, it can also be used alone as a treatment product. This innovative product protects against UV rays (SPF 15) and blurs the appearance of lip creases. Another fantastic option is SENSAI Cellular Performance Total Lip Treatment, a sophisticated treatment product specially designed for the “O-zone” or mouth and lip area.
HUMIDITY-Consider using a humidifier in your bedroom/lounge to stop your skin from becoming excessively dry, as the humidifier pushes moisture into the air for your skin to absorb.
HOT WATER-Don’t spend too much time in the bath or shower, as the hot water can sap moisture from the protective superficial later (stratum corneum) of the skin (a natural lipid barrier) leaving your skin vulnerable to damage.
SAFE SUN-If you fear getting your pale winter skin back over the frosty months, why not consider applying self tan? This is a great confidence booster and can also assist in camouflaging cellulite, a wonderful trick for any month! We love SENSAI Silky Bronze Self Tan which combines self tan colour with remarkable anti-ageing effects.
SUNSCREEN-Consider still applying sunscreen even on cloudy or winter days when it’s chilly, because as we know UVA radiation is one of the principal causes of wrinkling and skin cancer and can still affect your skin during winter. Even if you choose not to apply a high factor sunscreen, try to use one with full-spectrum (both UVA and UVB) coverage. Our favourites : SENSAI Silky Bronze Sun Protective Creams available from SPF 10 otSPF 50.
ALL OVER- During winter the impact of the climate change can be felt on the skin all over the body.
