Expert Skin Care Tips for Winter Skin
Modify and Simplify.
For those of us who live in colder climates, you know frigid temperatures can wreak havoc on your skin. Season changes call for changes to your skincare regimen.
Clean.
Opt for a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser with less ingredients. Some experts suggest you apply toners and astringents sparingly. The culprit in many toners is alcohol, which further dries skin. Bath + Body Fusion Foaming Facial Cleanser however does not contain skin drying ingredients. Bath + Body Fusion Foaming Facial Cleanser calms and soothes skin.

Exfoliate.
Exfoliate less than you would normally. Your skin is an indispensable barrier between you and the environment. Skin becomes compromised with the dry and cold air. It is recommended to exfoliate only once a week during winter months. Once a week exfoliation is all that is needed to regenerate the skin cells and allow better penetration of your hydration medium.

Hydrate.
Retaining moisture is key. What you put on your skin is of the utmost importance. Stay away from creams or lotions that list water as the first ingredient. The skin needs a barrier comparable to wax on a car to protect it. The runnier the consistency of the medium, the more likely the medium will evaporate and leave the skin less protected.
Natural butters, such as the ones found in Bath + Body Fusion Dream Cream (shea and kokum butters), form a strong bond and a long-lasting barrier between your skin and the environment. Also be sure to increase your water intake!

Diffuse.
With there being less moisture in the air, using a humidifier in your home or office will add moisture to dry winter air and help keep your skin hydrated. Use one in the room you are in the most.
Bath + Body Fusion recommends the Dew Drop Essential Oil Diffuser- it is a diffuser and a humidifier all-in-one!
Show your lips some love.
Last in order, but not of importance, it is essential to use a good lip balm. The best way to choose the right lip balm is to look for one infused with natural butters (like shea), beeswax (to protect) and oil (to hydrate). These ingredients are known to intensely moisturize and keep lips soft and supple.

Final thought.
Your skin is the body’s frontline defense against everything the world throws at it. Keeping skin healthy is much more than a cosmetic concern. Take care of your skin and your skin will take care of you!
