How to Update Your Skincare Routine For the Changing of Seasons

Did You Know There's a Difference Between Your Summer and Your Winter Natural Skincare Routine?

Fall is here, which means that people are transitioning from their Summer attire to warmer clothes. But did you know that you should also revolve your skincare products around the weather?

Now that the seasons are changing, it is starting to get colder and drier. This requires a few extra steps  that we think you should add to your natural skincare routine.

Use a Heavier Moisturizer in your Natural Skincare Routine

When the air becomes drier, it is important to have a heavy moisturizer to protect it. It can help lock in ingredients and prevent skin from cracking or breaking. It is especially important to use a rich moisturizer at night because it can penetrate and heal your skin from your daily stressors- such as itchy skin and even windburn. 

We recommend using the Hälsa Skincare Dream Enchanted Night Creme.  This product is a Winter skincare must-have. Put it on before bed, and while you sleep, plant-based extracts heal your skin while also soothing and tightening your skin and reducing signs of aging. This product has all natural ingredients such as CoQ10 that fights wrinkles, while frankincense lifts and tightens for a firmer, fresher, younger face.

Focus on Moisturizing Ingredients in your Natural Skincare Routine

It is also essential to use products that have significant moisturizing properties. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, black current and even hemp extract. 

Hyaluronic Acid:

• Helps retain water and keeps skin tissues moist, plump and flexible. 
• It adds moisture, making skin feel softer and more radiant
• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles less visible
• Boosts collagen production and increases the rate of cell turnover, which helps restore skin elasticity

Black Currant

• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
• Because it contains antioxidants, it helps restore skin cells
• Works to condition skin- even psoriasis and eczema

Hemp Extract

• Rejuvenates and revives the skin
• Protects against free radicals- such as the sun’s UV rays and harmful bacteria.
• Reduces redness, dryness and unevenness. 
• Anti-inflammatory properties that can even help reduce breakouts, acne and acne scars.

A clean beauty product that includes all of these ingredients and focuses on conditioning and repairing skin is Hälsa Botanicals Glow Facial Serum. Serums can be just as effective as moisturizers. Because they are thinner and lighter, they can absorb quickly. Because of this, it is recommended that you use a face serum first and then lock it in with a rich moisturizer to make it even more effective.

Exfoliate

This may come as a surprise, but exfoliation is key for your natural skincare routine. By removing the top layer of dead skin, it allows the moisturizer to sink in deeper. If you have really dry skin, it can even help fight against dry skin patches. Note that we recommend doing this only once a week because it can cause severe irritation if done too often. 

You could use a face scrub, face mask or any exfoliating device for this, but we recommend our Hälsa Breathe Arctic Kelp Facial Masque. It works to eliminate blemishes and impurities. Due to the fact that this product is very nutrient-rich, including algae, lavender and eucalyptus, it helps to draw toxins from the skin. Even though it works to clean the skin deeply, it also has ingredients, such as chamomile and honeysuckle, that work to heal your skin to feel refreshed and nourished. 

Just as you add a few layers of clothes during this time, remember to add a few extra layers of product into your natural skincare routine. If you implement all of these steps into your Winter skincare routine, your face should be glowing and healthy.
