MEN'S SKINCARE: ADAPTING YOUR ROUTINE FOR FALL AND WINTER
6th November 2024 /
HIMAIRA
As temperatures drop and the air becomes drier, it's essential to adjust your skincare routine to match the changing seasons to ensure that your skin feels glowing and healthy. Fall and winter can be harsh on the skin, especially for men who often have a minimalist approach to skincare. Colder months can cause dry, flaky skin, irritation, and even more visible signs of aging. With a few simple changes to your routine, you can keep your skin healthy, hydrated, and protected through the colder months. Here's how:
1. Switch to a Gentler Cleanser
Summer cleansers that work for oily or sweaty skin may be too drying for fall and winter. During colder months, the skin produces less oil, which can lead to dryness and irritation. Opt for a hydrating, creamy cleanser instead of a gel-based or foaming one. Look for ingredients like glycerin or aloe vera, which clean your skin without stripping away essential moisture.
Himaira’s Vitamin C Face Wash with a blend of Vitamin C extract, Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid, especially made for oily and sensitive skin type, it helps in fighting acne and keeps skin moisturized. With a blend of 24K gold flakes and rosemary extract Himaira’s 24K face wash suits dry skin and by keeping your skin hydrated for long hours it helps in protecting sunburns.
2. Moisturize Immediately After Cleansing
Moisturizing is crucial in fall and winter. As soon as you wash your face, apply a rich moisturizer to lock in hydration. In colder weather, opt for moisturizers with Ceramides, Hyaluronic acid, or Aquaxl. These ingredients help your skin retain moisture, protect your skin barrier, and keep it looking healthy. For guys with oily skin, choose a lighter, non-comedogenic formula to avoid clogging pores.
Himaira’s Hydro Bomb is a light, gel-based moisturizer that locks in the skin’s moisture without clogging the pores. It has easy-breezy ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, Oat Meal Extract, Witch Hazel Extract to truly balance your skin’s sebum production and counter the dry scariness that winter brings – perfect for ALL skin types.
3. Exfoliate, but with Care
While exfoliation is necessary to remove dead skin cells and promote a smooth complexion, over-exfoliating in winter can leave your skin irritated and dry. Use a gentle exfoliator once or twice a week to maintain skin texture without causing damage. Exfoliants with natural ingredients are effective yet gentle enough for the colder months. Just avoid gritty scrubs, which can be too harsh on dry or sensitive winter skin.
Himaira’s Vitamin C Scrub helps to exfoliate skin and remove dead, dull, and flaky patches. Vitamin C along with Vitamin E work to soften rougher areas of the skin and balance uneven skin tone for a brighter, silky-smooth complexion. The revitalising exfoliator provides an intense cleanse to effectively unclog pores and defend against impurities without drying out the skin.
4. Pay Attention to Shaving Habits
Cold weather can make skin more prone to irritation, especially during shaving. Switch to a hydrating shaving cream or gel that softens the skin and hair. After shaving, apply a soothing aftershave balm that contains aloe vera or witch hazel to calm any irritation. Avoid alcohol-based products, as they can further dry out the skin.
Whether it’s upgrading to a richer moisturizer or using a hydrating serum, the key is to focus on retaining moisture and protecting your skin from the elements. With the right care, your skin can stay smooth, hydrated, and healthy all season long.
