How To Transition From Summer To Winter Skincare

As the dark evenings begin to draw in and the mornings become increasingly colder, we
know it is officially time to call it winter. After months of enjoying the sunshine and giving
our skin that added boost of vitamin D, it is finally time to up our skincare regime and start
replenishing skin with nourishing ingredients that can help to avoid dry, cracked skin.

So to help you transition your skincare regime from summer to winter, we have compiled
together our top tips to help keep skin replenished and protected for those cold mornings.

Read on to find out more....

Invest In A Nourishing Moisturiser
One of the most common issues that people have during the winter months is dry,
cracked skin. This is due to the brisk chill in the air that causes skin to dry out and
become much more vulnerable to cracking. Try investing in a nourishing and replenishing
moisturiser that can help seal and protect skin away from the cold weather. Make sure
you are applying moisturiser every day in order to shield skin.

Protect Your Hands

Apart from our face, our hands are probably the most exposed part of our body during the
winter months. As we usually cover the rest of our body with plenty of layers, our hands
are vulnerable to drying and cracking a lot easier than other parts of our body. The skin
on your hands is also thinner than on most parts of the body and has fewer oil glands,
therefore it's harder to keep your hands moist, especially in cold, dry weather.
Make sure you are moisturising hands with a nourishing hand cream and try to wear gloves
whenever you venture outside. Try investing in a good pair of hand gloves and leave
them on for at least an hour with your favourite hand cream!

Avoid Hot Baths

After a long wait on a freezing cold bus stop, many of us can't wait to run a boiling hot
bath and immerse ourselves in the warm water for hours. However, this can actually lead
to breaking down the lipid barriers in the skin, which can lead to a loss of moisture.

Use A Soft Scrub

On dry, flaky skin, try using a gentle exfoliater to help remove any rough patches. This
can help to smooth skin, but will also not cause any irritation. For those looking for a
home­made scrub, try adding salt with honey for a gentle scrub on skin.
For those working in the beauty industry, make sure you check out Diamond Designs
Uniforms. They have plenty beauty tunic styles perfect for your salon so that you can look
the part whilst helping your clients look their best.
