4 Tips for Fall and Winter Dry Skin

4 Tips for Fall and Winter Dry Skin

by

Everyone battles dry skin in the fall, heading into winter, regardless of skin type. The cold weather, combined with the dry inside air, means your skin needs extra moisturizing.

Here are 4 Tips for Fall and Winter Dry Skin to help reduce harmful effects on your face:

Don’t wash your face in the shower! Hot shower water strips moisture from your face. Instead, wash your face at the sink where you can control the water temperature.

Moisturize! During the winter months, use a facial cream that contains lavender oil, as it helps with inflammation and calms the skin. If you see red spots of inflammation after spending time outside, try a face cream that contains lavender oil.  

Moisturize after wearing a face mask. Wearing a face mask adds a layer of protection between the winter wind and your skin, but it’s important to moisturize after removing it.

Reduce the number of times you wash your face each day. The more you wash your face, the drier it feels. Stick to washing your face at night and applying a nighttime moisturizer.

While the winter lasts, everyone battles dry skin. These 4 tips have been tried and tested with a variety of skin types to ensure that your battle with dry skin is short-lived.

Lavender and Acne: A Natural Remedy

Lavender and Acne: A Natural Remedy

by

Lavender has been used for centuries as a natural remedy for various skin conditions, including acne. Here’s how it can help:

  • Anti-inflammatory properties: Lavender contains compounds that have anti-inflammatory effects, which can help reduce redness and swelling associated with acne.
  • Antibacterial properties: Lavender oil has antibacterial properties that can help combat the bacteria that contribute to acne breakouts.
  • Sebum regulation: Lavender can help regulate sebum production, which can reduce the likelihood of clogged pores and subsequent acne.

Ways to use lavender for acne:

  1. Lavender oil:
    • Diluted application: Apply a few drops of lavender oil diluted with a carrier oil (like coconut or jojoba oil) directly to acne-prone areas.
    • Aromatherapy: Inhale the scent of lavender oil using a diffuser or by applying it to a tissue.
  2. Lavender-infused products:
    • Facial cleansers: Look for facial cleansers that contain lavender extract or oil.
    • Moisturizers: Use a lavender-infused moisturizer to soothe and hydrate your skin.
    • Face masks: Apply a lavender-based face mask to your skin to help reduce inflammation and unclog pores.

Important considerations:

  • Patch test: Before using lavender oil or products on your face, do a patch test on a small area of skin to check for any allergic reactions.
  • Consult a dermatologist: If you have severe acne or other skin conditions, it’s essential to consult with a dermatologist for professional advice.
  • Consistency is key: For best results, use lavender products consistently and follow the recommended usage instructions.

While lavender can be a helpful natural remedy for acne, it’s important to remember that individual results may vary. If you have concerns about your skin health, it’s always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional.

Combat Dry Skin: Tips and Tricks for Fall and Winter

Combat Dry Skin: Tips and Tricks for Fall and Winter

by

As we transition from summer into fall, heading for winter, our skin is about to embark on a slippery slope towards dry skin. Each year as the seasons change, we find ourselves battling dry skin. Knowing that everyone has a different type of skin, we’ve put together a quick roundup of tips on how to prevent and deal with dry skin. Here’s how to combat dry skin before it arrives.

Drink water. A great way to help prevent and combat dry skin is to increase your water intake. Hydrate your skin from the inside out. Everyone has a recommendation of the amount of water they should consume each day. But those recommendations are different for each person. Not sure if you’re getting enough water each day? Add in a glass of water and see how you and your skin react.

Moisturize. A great moisturizer can make the difference between regular skin and dry skin. When looking at moisturizers remember to fact in several items. What part of your body is the moisturizer for? Body, face, hands or feet? What are the ingredients in the moisturizer? Some moisturizers contain ingredients like alcohol that further dry your skin. Read the ingredient label carefully. A great moisturizer should provide your skin with moisture, all natural and organic ingredients. We recommend our Face & Eye Cream or Hand & Body Lotion.

Watch the water temperature. When bathing or showering, watch your water temperature. While it feels incredible to have a long hot shower, the hot water strips away your skin’s natural oils and dries your skin, contributing to dry skin.

Moisturize after bathing. One of the best ways to reduce the likelihood of dry skin. We recommend using our Face & Eye Cream. For your body, we recommend Belvedere Lavender’s Body Oil or Body Butter to help seal in the moisture.

Humidifier. If you happen to live in a dry home or environment, consider using a humidifier to ensure the air in your home contains some moisture. In the winter months, often our skin dries out from exposure to dry air, like the air found inside or outside of your home. Adding a humidifier to your home during the winter months can help add moisture to your home, reducing the dry air environment inside your home.

Wash your face outside of the shower. While having a bath or shower, it is easy to wash your face. But this may be contributing to dry skin. We all love a nice hot shower. But using hot water in the shower for washing your face may be making dry skin worse. Washing your face at a sink helps you control the water temperature, ensuring that you’re using cooler water. We recommend applying our amazing Anti-Aging Serum after washing your face in the evening. Our Anti-Aging Serum revitalizes and rejuvenates the look of your skin.

Dry skin is a problem for most in the fall and winter months and in environments where the air is dry. But there are tools and recommendations that can help you should you combat dry skin. How to combat dry skin before it arrives is a great way to win the battle on dry skin.
