6 Steps for Winter Skincare Ritual

6 Steps for Winter Skincare Ritual

Oh, it's that time of the year. While it is cold outside, we all want to look beautiful Right? Self-care helps rejuvenate and relax. Helping you glow from within. When you are glowing and radiant, it boosts confidence and spreads positivity among people around you. After all, it's festival time. Christmas, parties, family gatherings. Hmmmmm….

So let's dive right in-

1. Don’t forget to hydrate

Drink enough water. The air is cold and dry. Even inside the house, it gets dry because of the heater. Nope not the endless coffees and colas, please. Try some nice warming soups and hearty broths instead.

Tips: Drink a full glass of warm water first thing in the morning before you hit the coffee machine. Choose a nice cozy corner of your home, sit down, and take small sips.

2. Cleanse with a mild cleanser

Anything too harsh and chemical-laden will strip your skin of the natural oils.

Tips: A milk-based cleanser can be a good option for face cleansing.

Likewise, a mild and gentle body wash for your body is suitable for these harsh winter days.

3. Applying oil before bath

This is called ‘Abhayanga’. Ok, don’t stress on the name. It is simple.

Tips: Just lather and gently massage your body with some oil. During winter, I suggest you use Sesame Oil. It is a warm oil and is good for body massage. You can take a bath after this.

4. Apply a good moisturizer

Use a good moisturizer all over your body. Make sure the exposed areas of your body are moisturized properly. Like the face neck and hands.

Tips: Keep a small moisturizer bottle or tube handy in your purse.

5. Night time skincare

This is the most important part of your daily skincare regime, which a lot of us tend to skip or take a shortcut.

Tips: Use a mild cleanser to take off the makeup and cleanse your skin gently. Pat dry. Use a good quality face night cream.

6. Get a good night's sleep

I cannot stress this enough, but a peaceful restive sleep for at least 7-9 hours is required for your skin to repair, rejuvenate, and glow.

Tips: Get off your phone. Listen to some soothing music, and read a book. Talk to your family. All these activities help you to calm down and sleep like a baby!
