SUMMER SKINCARE AND WINTER SKINCARE DECODED FOR DRY AND OILY SKIN

-



When it comes to seasonal skincare for different skin, there is a multitude of permutations and combinations of products you could follow. That’s because one size doesn’t fit all. It all boils down to the timing, the order of layering and being aware of the crucial shift in a routine with seasonal changes. 



Here’s some good news for you. We’ve chalked out a summer and winter care routine with essential skincare products so you’re sorted.


WINTER SKINCARE ROUTINE


● WINTER SKINCARE ROUTINE FOR DRY SKIN



i. Cleanser


The Face Shop Herb Day 365 Cleansing Foam Aloe Cleansing ideally shouldn’t dry out your skin and strip it of its natural moisture. But if this sounds like your daily skin sob story, you should consider investing in a cleanser that removes impurities and is infused with moisturizing ingredients for a fresher and softer feel. The Face Shop Herb Day 365 Cleansing Foam Aloe fulfills all of these while being enriched with the goodness of Aloe Vera and 9 kinds of herb extracts.





ii. Toner


WOW Skin Science Lavender & Rose Skin Mist Toner No Paraben Sulphate Free Toning is an underrated yet the most essential segue from cleansing to moisturizing. We vouch for the soothing fragrance of Lavender and Rose to awaken your senses and uplift your mood after dullsville 9 to 5. This toner takes care of your skin’s pH balance, hydrates and protects it while tightening pores. Include it in your arsenal for dry skincare in winter.






iii. Moisturizer


Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel For the love of God, don’t you dare skip this step during the winters! Now we understand if you fear the added greasiness. Meet Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel, a light-weight moisturizer for dry skin in winter. The power of this winter skincare product is shouldered by Olive Oil extracts, Glycerin and Hyaluronic Acid that strengthen skin and lock in hydration for a good 48 hours.






iv. Sunscreen


Neutrogena UltraSheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 50+ We admit having spent days skipping the sunscreen together because it didn’t feel light enough. But this was before the Neutrogena UltraSheer Dry Touch Sunblock SPF 50+ entered our lives and blessed us with broad-spectrum UV protection and an ultra-light feel. Infused with Neutrogena's exclusive Helioplex technology, this should be your winter skincare essential.






v. Night Cream


Olay Regenerist Advanced Anti-Ageing Revitalizing Night Skin Cream At night, when skin repair is at its peak, it is best to let your skin absorb an intensely hydrating and correcting formula. The result, you ask? Younger looking skin that ages gracefully. The Olay Regenerist Advanced Anti-Ageing Revitalizing Night Skin Cream is loaded with ingredients, Vitamin E, Pro-Vitamin B5, Green Tea Extract, Allantoin and Glycerin that set up the anti-aging army. Just what you need to brave the harsh winters.





vi. Eye Cream


MCaffeine Morning Puffiness Fix - Hydrate & De-Puff If there was a petition against are-you-sick queries when it’s clearly evident that it’s just the eyes, we would sign it any day. Until then the MCaffeine Morning Puffiness Fix - Hydrate & De-Puff, enriched with Pure Arabica Coffee, will work just well to fight dark circles and puffiness. You will soon realize Caffeine isn’t just your morning brew. Sweet Almond Oil is another surprise element that moisturizes and soothes the sensitive area which makes it perfect for dry skin care in winter.

It checks all the boxes for winter season skincare.






ii. Toner


Kaya Purifying Toner If you belong to the oily skin fam, you should be looking for a toner that tightens pores, controls excess sebum and helps unclog pores. Most importantly stick to an alcohol-free toner because, in the larger scheme of things, alcohol only makes your skin greasier. The Kaya Purifying Toner, loaded with the goodness of Mandelic Acid and Niacinamide, fights existing acne and prevents future breakouts.






iii. Serum


Ethiko Oil Control Serum It’s a myth that people with oily skin don’t need serums. Serums are in fact great for turbo-charging the regulation of natural oil production and fading blemishes. The Ethiko Oil Control Serum formulated with Peppermint, Tea Tree, Lavender, and Bergamot overpower acne-causing bacteria for a clearer complexion. This dependable savior is our new addition to winter care for oily skin.






iv. Moisturizer


Mamaearth Oil-Free Moisturizer With Apple Cider Vinegar For Acne Prone Skin Just because you can literally feel the oil on your face doesn’t mean you can skip this step. Instead, opt for an oil-free moisturizer with a non-greasy base that balances the pH level to reduce further breakouts and retain the natural moisture of the skin. Lift the curtains for one of the best moisturizers for oily skin in winter: Mamaearth Oil-Free Moisturizer With Apple Cider Vinegar For Acne Prone Skin. Make a place for this rescuer in your bathroom cabinet and take your winter care for oily skin a notch up.




v. Sunscreen


La Shield IR Sunscreen Gel SPF 30 has a lightweight and non-sticky formula that protects the skin from both UV and Infrared rays.

Also, did we mention that you can jump into that pool without bothering about reapplication later? Yes, it’s water-resistant.






vi. Overnight Mask


Votre Acne Clearing Over Night Aqua Rich Sleeping Mask Oil Control A surefire way to keep the oil in control is a hydrating mask that controls oil production and detoxes the skin. We are talking about a face mask for glowing skin in winter. The Votre Acne Clearing Over Night Aqua Rich Sleeping Mask Oil Control reduces existing acne and nourishes skin overnight so you wake up to a brighter complexion. Let this beauty work on your skin through the night after you hit the bed.








SUMMER SKINCARE ROUTINE
