Winter Skincare: These 5 Essentials For Smooth And Supple Skin All Winter

Moisturizer isn’t merely a skincare step, it’s an essential pre-makeup ritual that ensures your glow lasts all day long.

Winter skincare is vastly different from the norm, as it requires adding a lot of hydrating products into your routine. The cold winds, dry air and lack of sun mean a lack of moisture, which can leave your skin looking dull and grey, cracked and itchy. However, this does not mean you just apply one type of body lotion and call it a day. The best results come from hydrating in layers; a serum can be applied before the moisturiser and opt for a cleanser that’s gentle.

Here are 5 products that you can incorporate into your winter skincare routine to get soft and supple skin:

Sebamed Lip Defense 

A dermatologically superior alternative to cosmetic balms, this Sebamed Lip Defense is ideal for lip skin that’s 10x thinner and far more prone to winter damage, making it the first to crack, peel or chap in cold weather. As it enriched with Jojoba Oil, Vitamin E, and Chamomile, it shields the lips from harsh air, dryness and irritation. This balm ensures all-day comfort and softness and dermatologically repairs chapped lips.
