Winter is coming, and the weather has already changed. Along with everything in your life this time of year, your grooming routine and regimen needs to adapt to the cooler weather as well. Winter can wreak havoc on your hair, skin, and beard, but today we are back to help get you through these tough few months of rough, dry skin with a few tips and tricks that are sure to assist.
Today we take a look at five important and crucial skin care tips for men this Winter, offering up some ways that can aid in keeping your skin soft, healthy and looking great no matter how cold and dry things get outside. Have a look below and treat yourself with some care!
Hydrate
Staying healthy is a huge step in maintaining great skin. Hydrating is undoubtedly important from the inside out and provides your hair, skin, and cells with plenty of moisture. When your cells are dehydrated the organ doesn’t function as it should, which means that your skin will pay the price too. While working out and a solid exercise routine will help too, drinking plenty of water and staying properly hydrated is the first and most important step to great skin; any time of the year.
Exfoliate
Exfoliating is important to skin health, and of course to keeping your skin looking great. While this may seem a bit counterproductive during the chilly months, it’s a must to remove those dead skin cells from the surface. A good facial cleanser and scrub, such as our own Face Scrub and Face Wash are great aids in shedding that unhealthy, dead skin. Do not over do it, though, stick to exfoliating once or twice each week and you will be better than good.
Moisturize
Moisturizing is also a rather significant step in this process during Winter. After removing the dead skin cells, it’s a must to replenish your skin’s moisture. The type of moisturizer you use should depend on your skin type while keeping your skin light, healthy and looking great. Of course, our blend of Moisture Defend Face Lotion is an excellent choice. The formula minimizes skin aging and visibly fades dark marks and blemishes, resulting in an overall improvement to skin texture and tone. It’s dry out, so be sure to add some moisture back into the mix for healthy looking skin this season.
Protect
Now that you have scrubbed, cleaned and moisturized your skin, it’s time to keep things protected. Just because it’s cold outside does not mean that the sun is any less damaging. A light SPF lotion or moisturizer will help you fend on the abuse of the sun, and will also keep your skin looking great in the process. Locking in the moisture and keeping that fresh skin protected is a critical final phase in the routine, and will certainly keep your skin looking great for much longer!
Shave & Trim With Care
Look, you’re cleaned up, scrubbed, you have fresh, healthy skin, but what do you do with that facial hair during these cooler months of the year? Well, you should shave and trim carefully. The best time to shave is immediately following a hot shower, as this helps open your pores before shaving. Shaving during winter should include a winter shaving cream that offers protection from nicks and cuts; and no cheap razors. If you enjoy a beard, keep things simple in your routine, and treat your facial hair as you would your skin during these cold months of the season. The weather has changed, and your grooming routine is more important than ever!
