DRY SKIN IN THE WINTER Say Goodbye to Dryness and Hello to A Winter Glow

Why Do We Get Dry Skin?

Winter can be harsh on our skin, leaving it dry, flaky, and in need of extra care due to several factors. 

• The cold weather leads to a decrease in humidity levels, causing the air to become drier. This dry air, combined with indoor heating, further depletes the moisture in the environment. 
• We tend to take hot showers and baths during winter, which can strip the skin of its natural oils and disrupt its moisture balance. 
• The lack of moisture in the air and the excessive heat exposure contribute to the loss of hydration in our skin, resulting in dryness, flakiness, and a dull complexion. Therefore, it is crucial to take extra care of our skin during the winter season to keep it hydrated and nourished.

How Can We Help it?

 Don’t worry, you don’t need to stop taking hot baths/showers! However it is crucial that you are moisturizing your skin immediately after! Of course, JAIMES is here to help. Dry skin often feels rough and uneven. 

•  Our warm vanilla sugar body butter, with its rich and creamy texture, helps to improve the skin's texture and appearance.
•  Regular use of the body butter can help smooth rough patches, soften dry areas, and leave your skin feeling velvety smooth and touchably soft.
• The combination of glycerin, shea butter, and jojoba oil in the body butter provides intense hydration, helping to replenish and lock in moisture. Glycerin acts as a humectant, attracting moisture from the environment and binding it to the skin. Shea butter is rich in vitamins A, E, and F, as well as fatty acids, which deeply moisturize and nourish the skin. Jojoba oil, with its similar composition to the skin's natural oils, helps to balance oil production and provide long-lasting hydration, without clogging pores.

 

Additional Care for Dry Winter Skin

In addition to moisturizing the skin, there are several other steps you can take to help combat dry winter skin. 

• Using a gentle cleanser that does not contain harsh ingredients or fragrances can help prevent further drying of the skin. 
• Exfoliating once or twice a week can also help remove dead skin cells and allow moisturizers to penetrate more effectively. 
• Good thing we have JAIMES dry brush for dead skin cells!
