Must-Have Skincare Products for Your Winter Skincare Routine

1. Moisturisers

While it sounds cliche, moisturisers and face creams do make an important part of your winter skincare products kit. Your skin loses moisture easily in winter; hence, skipping moisturiser isn’t an option. As winter must-haves, moisturisers help your skin by keeping it feeling supple, hydrated, smooth, and younger-looking. You should go for sun control moisturisers which are ideal for everyday wear. These winter skincare products act as an all-in-one cream that minimises the sun’s harmful effects while nourishing your face so you have healthy-looking skin for longer. During winter, it is best to moisturise your skin even at bedtime. You can also try vitamin C yoghurt night creams that exfoliate dead cells and brighten the skin while you get your beauty sleep.

2. Cleansers

It is important to keep your skin away from excess oil and dirt, irrespective of the season - so add cleansers to your winter must-haves right away. Make sure you cleanse your face before starting the rest of your regimen. To refresh, revive and thoroughly cleanse your face, you can opt for a vitamin C face wash. This winter skincare product also helps you fight off winter dullness with its vitamin C formula. You can also use a mild yet effective Micellar Cleansing Water that removes all impurities and toxins from your skin without rinsing. This winter skincare product helps you unclog your pores without stripping away the natural oils from your face.

3. Vitamin C Serum

If you haven’t already incorporated a serum in your list of winter skincare products, you might be missing out on some uber-moisturising and anti-ageing benefits. Serums contain a potent concentration of active ingredients to pack a punch and target skin concerns. A vitamin C serum is your perfect winter must-have. Rich in antioxidants, this serum protects your skin from dark spots, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, sagging, and dryness. You can add a vitamin C night serum to your winter skincare products as well, to get a bright, spotless complexion while protecting your skin against dry winter nights!

4. Sunscreen

No matter how misty the season gets, sunscreens should still be a part of your winter must-haves. Even when it's overcast or barely bright, the harmful UV rays still stand to affect your skin. This is why it is essential to add sunscreens to your list of winter skincare products. If sunscreens feel like another heavy layer and dull your glow, invest in a vitamin C-infused sunscreen. Try to opt for sunscreen serums that get absorbed easily leaving you with no white cast. If you use makeup often, you can spray on mist sunscreens every few hours.

5. Sheet masks

A sheet mask helps to trap moisture and hydrate your skin better, making it look glowing and healthy. Sheet masks are a great way to allow the active ingredients to penetrate better into the skin in a short amount of time and help achieve maximum benefits. From charcoal and green tea to vitamin C and hyaluronic acid, look for a fitting sheet mask for your skin type. We recommend that you use a sheet mask at least thrice a week to combat the causes of dull skin and achieve a healthy glow.

6. Lip Balm

You can’t go anywhere without these, especially in winter. The cold air can dehydrate your lips and lead to dry, chapped lips where the skin peels off. Apart from appearing unflattering, dryness can leave your pout dehydrated and sensitive. Add a small lip balm to your winter must-haves and carry it in your bags, pockets, or vanities to keep your lips hydrated and moisturised.
