As the temperature drops and the air becomes drier, it's essential to give your skin the extra care it deserves during the winter months. Harsh weather conditions can often leave our skin feeling dry, dull, and lacking its natural radiance. However, with the right skincare routine and products, you can maintain a healthy glow all season long. Here are nine top tips to keep your skin looking its best this winter, featuring a selection of fantastic products from us here at Starest.
1) Hydration is Key
One of the most crucial aspects of winter skincare is hydration. Cold weather and indoor heating can deplete moisture from your skin, leading to dryness and flakiness. Combat this by incorporating hydrating products into your routine, such as the Glow Face and Body Oil. This luxurious oil is packed with nourishing ingredients that lock in moisture, leaving your skin soft, smooth, and radiant.
2) Gentle Cleansing
While it's essential to cleanse your skin regularly, harsh cleansers can strip away its natural oils, leaving it feeling tight and irritated. Opt for our gentle cleansers like the Lavender and Calendula Soap or Rosehip and Frankincense Soap. These natural soaps effectively cleanse the skin without causing dryness, leaving it feeling refreshed and nourished.
3) Moisturise Regularly
Moisturising is crucial year-round, but it's especially important during the winter when the air is dry. Invest in a rich, nourishing moisturisers like the Oat and Rosehip Whipped Body Butter. This indulgent body butter deeply hydrates the skin, leaving it feeling soft, supple, and protected against the elements.
4) Protective Barrier
To shield your skin from harsh winter weather, consider using products that create a protective barrier. The Glow Skin Balm from Starest is perfect for this purpose. Enriched with antioxidants and vitamins, this balm forms a protective barrier on the skin, preventing moisture loss and keeping it healthy and glowing.
5) Exfoliation for Renewal
Exfoliating regularly is essential for removing dead skin cells and promoting cell turnover, especially in the winter when skin can become dull and lacklustre. Both our Citrus Body Scrub and Coffee and Orange Body Scrub provide a rejuvenating exfoliating experience. Packed with invigorating citrus oils, these scrubs buffs away dry, flaky skin, leaving you with a radiant and refreshed complexion.
6) Lip Care
Don't forget to give your lips some extra TLC during the winter months. Chapped lips are a common problem in cold weather, but they can be easily remedied with the right lip care products. The Starest Lavender and Peppermint Lip Balm is an all-natural lip balm, which moisturises and soothes dry lips, leaving them soft and supple.
7) Sunscreen Even in Winter
Many people overlook sunscreen during the winter months, but UV rays can still penetrate through clouds and cause damage to your skin. Make sure to apply sunscreen daily, even on cloudy days. It's an essential step in protecting your skin from premature ageing and other sun-related damage.
8) Nutrition for Skin
In addition to your skincare routine, remember to nourish your skin from the inside out by eating a healthy diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, and fatty fish can help support your skin's health and maintain its natural glow. You can find out more about the type of diet that can help your skin on the BBC Good Food website.
9) Winter Skin Routines
Lastly, make your winter skincare routine a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Take the time to pamper yourself with indulgent products that soothe both your skin and your senses. Create a comforting skincare routine using our products to unwind and rejuvenate after a long day.
