Summer has gone past in a blur, the rains have trickled down to a fine mist as days shorten and stretch into the longest nights of the year. That’s when you know winter is here to stay. It’s time to bring out the woollens and warmers as we layer up for the chilly season.
While you’re at it, don’t forget to do the same for your skin – Layer up.
Since the coldest months can be the harshest on your skin, this is the time you need to give it that extra bit of care to make sure it stays glowing and radiant as ever. While you might have a good skin care and beauty routine that serves you well for the rest of the year, is it good enough for winter?
Skin care during winter is no child’s play. The extra layers of clothing protect you from the cold, but they also happen to absorb all the moisture, leaving your skin parched and dull.
If you want keep your skin glowing even in the harsh conditions of winter, you need a special skin care regimen that gets you winter-ready.
Your Must-Haves of Winter-Special Skin Care
This winter, promise yourself to follow these essential steps to protect, recover, and keep your skin hydrated and healthy.
1. Pamper yourself with gentle but powerful skin care and beauty products
What we mean is, cherry-pick personal care brands that you know are gentle and soothing in the harshest weather. Especially stick to products without alcohol, fragrances, parabens and preservatives in their content list as these only add to the dryness.
QNET’s Physio Radiance Skin Care Line has the perfect mix of products that give your skin the extra pampering it needs, this time of the year. You can explore the revolutionary skincare line-up in the video below:
2. Moisturise
Moisturise once every day, ideally after a shower, and then once more before the day ends. Keep reminders, if that helps because making it a habit will do wonders to prevent dryness and lock in precious moisture.
Exposed patches of the skin, especially the face or hands, and feet can become extra dry as they come in direct contact with the cold weather. You need a night cream that hydrates and heals the dry patches as you sleep – like QNET’s Physio Radiance Regenerating Night Cream which comes with anti-ageing ingredients that help prevent fine lines and wrinkles. Apply it every night, and you wake up to youthful, healthier-looking skin.
The suppleness of your skin is a sure sign that you are in the pink of health. Using Physio Radiance Boosting Essence will keep your skin tight as it should be. This works as a hydrating antioxidant lotion that is brimming with active ingredients great to keep it elastic and ready for future treatments if needed.
Even though the winter sun may seem weak compared to peak summer, sun protection must continue. According to experts, the highly sensitive skin under your eyes deserves even greater attention to stop those fine crease lines or wrinkles from forming. Physio Radiance Repair Eye Cream with its ultra-light, fast-absorbing quality not only helps prevent wrinkles but also arrests existing age spots from increasing.
Your winter-special skin care kit is incomplete without Physio Radiance Restoring Day Cream. This might be a lightweight among creams but is packed with moisturising and nourishing properties to keep your skin glowing with youthful brightness during the day. You should also consider adding to your kitty – Physio Radiance Firming & Lifting Double Serum – a doubly powerful way for you to arrest the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

3. Hydrate
Cold weather can trick you into feeling less thirsty and end up not drinking enough fluids to maintain the daily quota you need. However, there are many options available that can make it easy for you to stay hydrated.
Using apps that are specially designed to watch your water intake and keeping water bottles handy is a great idea. Supplement drinking water by eating readily available seasonal fruits and vegetables that are terrific for hydration.
You could also mask up – there are special masks that you can make using easily available and affordable ingredients like aloe vera, honey, and olive oil that restore the moisture in your skin and naturally soothe wintry skin.
4. Embrace oil and warm baths
An oil massage can work wonders on your dry skin – you can pick an oil of your choice or something that you are familiar with. Do it as a weekly ritual and complete the routine with a warm and rejuvenating shower to help absorb the moisture and say goodbye to wintry blues.
Avoid hot baths no matter how inviting it sounds – very hot water will only remove the protective layer of moisture formed by the oil massage. Use a cream-based body cleanser, followed quickly by a moisturiser to stay hydrated.
With these tips and must-haves in your skin care kit, you will be ready to face the harsh conditions of the winter season head on. Wear your winter skin and step out with confidence.
