As the cold weather settles in, our skin demands extra care to stay healthy and radiant. Winter skincare is often misunderstood, leading to habits that might not be as beneficial as we think. In this blog, we’ll debunk common winter skincare myths and introduce you to a simple yet effective routine that will keep your skin glowing throughout the season.

1. Younger skin is less susceptible to winters: While on the surface young skins make it through the winter easily without much care it does take a toll on your skin health if not given enough care and love. In fact not taking care of your skin during winter more often than not leads to premature aging, photo-damage, and increased sensitivity. As they say, precaution is better than cure. 

2. The thicker the cream, the better it hydrates: A thicker cream might actually clog the skin cells, and prevent the products from entering the pores. This is why instead of looking out for thick moisturizers, use moisturizers that 1) attract moisture and 2) lock in that moisture without clogging your pores and making your skin feel greasy. Not to forget, keep replenishing.

Easy winter skincare routine!

A few changes in your skincare routine can help to boost, protect and keep your skin healthy in winters. Let us go through some of our hero products to help withstand the effects of winter and maintain a radiant complexion.

FACE CARE

Cream Cleanser

Since moisture is scarce during winters and you need to keep it locked in, you don’t want to strip away the natural oil on your skin that lock in the moisture. Aminu’s Cream Cleanser is a lightweight cleanser that instead of drying in fact hydrates and brightens the skin and protects it from environmental stressors, and thus preventing premature aging. The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant-rich botanical extracts, nourishing plant oils, and a barrier repairing sugar complex strengthens skin's natural barrier that not only holds in moisture and phospholipids but also prevents dryness.

Longevity serum

The longevity serum is based on the silanol technology and contains hyaluronic acid, antioxidants and humectants that maintain and impart hydration to your skin. It is a treatment that provides skin improvements at all levels. This, in turn, makes the epidermis thicker and of a better quality for higher protection, reducing the trans-epidermal water loss.
