The winter months can be harsh on your skin. The cold air and dry indoor heat can leave your skin looking dry, cracked, and dull. If you want to keep your skin looking hydrated and glowing all winter long, follow these tips! We'll tell you the best ingredients to use in your skincare products, how to take care of your skin when you're traveling in cold weather, and more.

First, let's talk about the best ingredients to use in your winter skincare routine. Look for products that contain hyaluronic acid and ceramides- both of these help maintain moisture levels in your skin, keeping it hydrated and plump. Other key ingredients to look for are antioxidants like vitamin C, retinol, coconut oil and vitamin E.

Best Moisturizing Ingredients For Your Skin Type

Choosing a body wash and moisturizer combo comes down to knowing the best ingredients for your skin type. This isn't always clear cut, because you might be sensitive to certain fragrances, ingredients, or additives and not even realize it. Let's break down the skin types and what ingredients work best:

Dry Skin

The best moisturizer for dry skin types is likely going to be a thicker formulation with lots of glycerin and hyaluronic acid, which attract moisture to the skin. Creams and oil-based moisturizers are going to be winter skin's best friend.

Oily Skin

Oily skin needs a moisturizer that won't add to the natural production of oils in the body, so water-based moisturizers and gel-like textures will be key for oily skin types.

Sensitive Skin

The best moisturizers for sensitive skin tend to be fragrance-free and not contain a ton of ingredients. Look for anti-inflammatory ingredients like aloe vera, ceramides, or coconut oil.

How the environment affects your skin

Your skin can have different needs depending on the season. For example, dry skin in the winter may benefit hugely from a thicker, richer, cream moisturizer but, come summer, need a lightweight thin gel texture instead.

Also, if you're living in an urban environment, there's likely pollution and allergens that affect the overall health of your skin, which can contribute to dehydration and worsen symptoms of aging.
