The cold weather can dramatically affect the health of your skin in the chilly winter months. Your skin may become dry, chapped, and even flaky. Most of us know that we need moisturizer, but which ones works best? Also, are there any other changes you can make in your skin routine to combat dryness? These are two of the most common questions men and women have during the winter.

With many options of moisturizers on the market, it can be challenging to choose the right one and enough to make your head spin. The best hydration is going to come from professional products and not from over the cover brands. Keep in mind that many of the drug store products contain higher amounts of water. At In Vogue Med Spa we love Intensive Nourishing Cream by Epionce. Not only does this product seal the deal, but it also protects the barrier of your skin from harsh elements, along with adding in just the right amount of nutrients.

Sometimes changing your cleanser may also aid in hydration. Try using a more gentle cleanser, such as Milky Lotion Cleanser by Epionce in the winter. Many other cleansers contain Beta Hydroxy Acids, which exfoliate the skin, drying it out a bit more with cold weather.

Another great tip is adding in a hydrating mask before you go to bed. Our favorite mask is the Enriched Firming Mask by Epionce. This is a luxurious creamy green mask that goes on much like a moisturizer. The best way to use this mask is to apply it before bed and let your skin soak this up through the night. No need to wash this one off! It is truly a magical product that completely changes your skin texture.

With a few changes to your skincare routine, you can still achieve that dewy glow during the winter. You really don’t have to suffer like a reptile just because its cold outside.
