Winter Skin Maintenance

Taking care of your skin in the winter requires a few simple yet necessary steps. Skin care the Unfiltered Beauty way

First, turn down the temperature of your shower when washing your face, as hot water can strip away natural oils. I am guilty of having the temperature set as hot as it can go so I get it! I choose to wash my face in the sink after my shower to avoid this problem.

Second, invest in a good cleanser and moisturizer and use it twice a day, or more if needed. The most basic of skin care routines require us to start with a clean canvas. Cleansing and moisturizing twice a day helps us start and end the day pampering our delicate skin. Our Cleanser/Moisturizing duo helps achieve this. This set is a jojoba based cleanser that does not strip your skin. Perfect for this winter weather.      

Third, use ingredients like Vitamin C and E to nourish your skin and fight off the effects of cold weather. Adding few drops of vitamin E to your moisturizer if it doesn't already include it, is a quick easy fix. Our Elixir oils are perfect for this step. A blend of oils and botanicals to nourish your skin back to life.  

Fourth, exfoliate regularly to get rid of dead skin cells and ensure your skin can absorb the moisturizer. I'll say it gain, exfoliate REGULARLY. Part of your self care is getting rid of the old to make way for the new. Our sugar scrubs/foaming sugar scrubs are gentle enough for your face but can be used on your whole body. 

Finally, don't forget to wear sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun's damaging rays, even in the winter. Taking these steps will help you keep your skin healthy and feeling great all winter long. Protect your skin, its your calling card..
