Winter is around the corner. In addition to cold weather, excessive indoor heating can make your skin irritated,
dry, and flaky. Dry skin naturally produces less sebum, your skin’s natural lubricant, so it often feels parched.
Here are skincare steps on how to protect your vulnerable skin to survive the harsh cold weather.

1. WASH WITH A CREAM OR OIL-BASED CLEANSER
With the changing seasons, you should change your skincare routine as well.The first step toward change is to replace
a foam or gel with an oil-to-cream cleanser. Gentle and refreshing cleansing oils will help you maintain a strong skin barrier.

2. BUFF SKIN WITH A GENTLE EXFOLIANT
Your cold weather skincare routine should go along with gentle exfoliation. Due to cold weather that makes the skin barrier
function weak and slow, your skin is more likely to develop more dead skin cells. No matter how many serums and creams
you put on, dry skin will stay dry without some light exfoliation. For those concerned about dry and cracked skin,
Intensive Sugar Scrub will provide highly moisturizing benefits and a smooth appearance.
3. ADD EXTRA LAYERS OF MOISTURE LIKE SERUMS, BUTTERS, AND OILS
Apply a nourishing serum before using a moisturizer. Using serums or oils before your cream is a great way to lock in your skin
extra moisture and key ingredients that your skin needs in the cold weather. If you are struggling with dry skin, you can replace
your serum with a facial oil. Plus, serums and oils, packed with vitamins, antioxidants, botanicals, and other nourishing ingredients,
will enhance your winter skin care routine. We recommend Waterfull Ampoule and Moisture Dr. Ampoule
for improving the health of your skin.
4. SWITCH TO A HEAVY FACE CREAM
When temperature is low, your skin needs a thick moisturizer that combines four elements in one single product:
hydration, moisturization, protection, and nourishment. In the long run, skin needs reformation – which will be accelerated
by Waterfull Cream and Intensive Cream, etc
5. USE A MIST
No matter how much you moisturize your skin, you might still need extra moisture during the cold weather season.
To winter-proof your skin, you should carry one of winter essentials – facial spray.
We recommend Rose Refresh Essential Water and Waterfull Mist.

6. USE CREAMY MASKS, OR SHEET MASKS
Clay removes moisture and oil from the skin and is especially helpful in the humid weather. However,
during the cold season, resort to using creamy or sheet masks containing ingredients that easily penetrate your skin.

7. TAKE CARE OF YOUR HANDS AND LIP
Hands and lips are even more affected during colder months. Washing hands frequently can cause dryness, so make sure
you take extra care of your hands. Regular exfoliation and skin hydration are key.
Winter is a difficult season to get through, and your skin will feel the same. However, nothing – even winter –
can stop you from adopting good skincare habits that will make your skin glow at any season of the year. Don’t let the cold weather
get you down but make the best of it with a hydrating and protecting winter skin care routine.
