Tips for glowing skin when the weather gets colder

When the weather changes from warm to cold, your skin's needs change dramatically. Fresh, cool air may feel refreshing, but it can also be harsh on the skin, leading to dryness, irritation, and dullness. At Vanamo Cosmetics, we believe in treating your skin with natural, effective products that adapt to the changing seasons.

Get tips on how to prepare your skin for the colder weather and maintain healthy, glowing skin all winter long.

1. Switch to protective products

One of the first steps to adapting your skin care routine for the colder weather is to switch to protective products. When the temperature drops, the air dries out and your skin loses moisture faster. Vanamo Cosmetics' Radiance Balm helps lock in moisture and form a protective barrier against weather conditions.

2. Include moisturizing serums

Hydration is key in the colder months. Incorporating a hydrating serum into your routine can provide an extra layer of moisture and improve your skin's ability to retain water. Look for serums that contain natural nourishing oils to keep skin plump and hydrated. Get to know Vanamo Cosmetics' serums.

3. Don't forget the sunscreen

Although UV radiation may not feel as strong, it can still damage your skin during the colder months. Snow and ice can reflect UV rays, increasing your exposure. Make sure you use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 as the last step in your morning skin care routine.

4. Use gentle exfoliation

Exfoliation is necessary to remove dead skin cells that can build up on the skin's surface, making the skin look dull and rough. In the cold months, however, it's important to use gentle exfoliation so that your skin doesn't get irritated or dry out too much. Choose a gentle exfoliator, such as the Calm Face Mask , which removes impurities without stripping natural oils.

5. Protect your lips and hands

Your lips and hands are often the first to show signs of dryness in colder weather. Protect them with moisturizing oils, salves and butters. Radiance Peppermint Balm and Serenity Body Butter are made with natural moisturizing and conditioning ingredients that provide long-lasting moisture and protection. Nourish Cuticle oil nourishes dry cuticles quickly.

6. Invest in a humidifier

Heating can significantly dry out the air in your home, leading to dry skin. Investing in a humidifier can help maintain humidity levels in the air, which in turn keeps your skin hydrated. Place it in your bedroom or living room to ensure your skin doesn't dry out from the indoor air.

7. Stay hydrated from the inside

Your skin's well-being doesn't just depend on what you apply to the outside. It's also about what you put in your body. Drinking plenty of water throughout the day helps to maintain the skin's moisture balance even in cold weather. Add water-rich foods like fruits and vegetables to your diet to improve your skin's hydration.

8. Pay attention to your diet

A balanced diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids can do wonders for your skin. Foods like salmon, avocados and walnuts help keep your skin's defenses strong. Berries, spinach and nuts provide important nutrients that protect your skin from environmental stressors.

9. Change your shower routine

Hot showers may feel good when it's cold outside, but they can strip the skin of its natural oils. Instead, choose warmer water and try to keep your showers short. After you shower, apply Serenity Body Butter or a body oil like Arctic Dew while your skin is still damp to lock in moisture.

Preparing the skin for colder weather prevents the appearance of dry and lifeless skin. With the natural and high-quality products of Vanamo Cosmetics, you can ensure that your skin remains healthy, bright and elastic throughout the cold season.
