What are the best hydrating skin care products for this winter?
During winter, our worst nightmare is having dry, dull and sensitive skin. Throughout the cold season, it is important to keep our skin hydrated, healthy and glowing. This blog will go through all of the essential products you need to add to your skincare routine, to achieve these results.
Vitamin C
Let’s start with vitamin C. Although this is a must-have during the whole year, you cannot skip this product during winter. Vitamin C comes in different concentrates, and for skin it’s usually between 10% and 20%, which has a collagen-stimulating benefit. The benefit here is that the more collagen the skin holds, the more hydration it holds. During winter, the skin can become dehydrated, very dry and sensitive without environmental protection, which is why you need vitamin C!
Vitamin C is a flexible serum that works for all skin types; it will save you time researching to see if it fits your skin type. This winter, Vitamin C serum is for you whether you have normal, dry to oily, to sensitive skin.
Here at Simply, our ultimate favourite is Obagi Medical Vitamin C. This product helps to transform your skin, which is why it’s our favourite to recommend to our clients. We offer the range of OBAGI Professional- C Serum available in 10%, 15% and 20% concentrations.
All you need to do is apply 5 to 7 drops of Obagi Professional- C Serum to the desired area using your fingertips during your morning skincare routine.
Moisturisers
Moisturisers should be a standard during your skincare routine both day and night. However, during winter, the importance of these increases. Moisturisers work by fighting against the dehydration effects of the cold weather, which means you cannot start your day without it, as the cold months will make it easier for your skin to suffer from infections and breakouts.
Our favourite moisturiser here at Simply is the Obagi Hydrate Luxe. The beauty of this product is that it contains shea butter, mango butter, avocado and glycerin. We can all agree that dry skin is not an option this winter, but Obagi Hydrate Luxe will provide 8-hour hydration during the long hours of work.
Dermatologists also recommend using cream moisturises and not lotion moisturisers as they are not as thick and high in moisturising ingredients. It is recommended that those that come in jars and ointments protect our skin from becoming dry, itchy and flaky.
Obagi Hydrate Luxe should be applied to your evening skincare routine, unlike other moisturisers that can be used both day and night. To maximise the benefits of your moisturiser, you should apply it to clean and slightly damp skin because damp skin absorbs product easier.
