Winter is a season that can be challenging for our skin. The cold weather, low humidity levels, and indoor heating can all contribute to dry, itchy, and irritated skin. These conditions strip away natural oils and moisture from your skin, leaving it dehydrated and prone to irritation.
However, with a proper skincare routine and the right products, you can keep your skin healthy and glowing all winter long. In this article, we will guide you through a winter skincare routine using Sative Beauty products.
Step 1: Cleanse.
The first step in any skincare routine is cleansing. In winter, it's especially important to use a gentle cleanser that won't strip your skin of its natural oils. Sative Beauty's gentle cleansing soap bar is a perfect choice. It's formulated with natural ingredients including Goat milk, Turmeric powder, Kaolin clay, Curcumin, Vitamin A, Caprylic acid, and Liquorice extract. It is also rich in lactic acid.
These natural ingredients help remove dirt, makeup, and other impurities from the skin while maintaining its natural balance. They are gentle enough to be used daily without stripping the skin of its natural oils, which is especially critical in the cold winter months. Lactic acid, in particular, exfoliates the skin, leaving it feeling soft and smooth.
Step 2: Exfoliate. (Coming August 1st)
Exfoliating is essential to remove dead skin cells that accumulate on your skin's surface. Sative Beauty's exfoliating serum is gentle but effective, thanks to ingredients like Hyaluronic acid, Tea tree, 2% Salicylic acid, 5% Azelaic acid, Propanediol and 5% Niacinamide.
The ingredients in the exfoliating serum help to remove dead skin cells without damaging the skin, while also providing hydration and nourishment. Hyaluronic acid binds moisture to the skin, Tea tree helps to reduce inflammation, Salicylic acid helps to unclog pores and Azelaic acid helps to minimize hyperpigmentation. Propanediol and Niacinamide help to reduce redness and even out skin tone.
Use it once or twice a week to reveal smoother, brighter skin.
Step 3: Hydrate.
During winter, it's crucial to keep your skin hydrated. Sative Beauty's hydrating serum is packed with Hyaluronic acid, which can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water, providing intense hydration to your skin. Apply it after cleansing and exfoliating to give your skin a moisture boost.
Step 4: Moisturise
After applying the hydrating serum, you should follow up with a facial oil or a moisturiser cream to lock in the hydration. These products will help to keep your skin feeling soft and supple throughout the winter season.
Moisturising is the most crucial step in any winter skincare routine. Sative Beauty's nourishing moisturiser is formulated with natural ingredients like Kojic acid, Allantoin, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, and Argan oil.
Moisturisers trap water molecules in the skin, ensuring it stays hydrated and preventing dryness. Kojic acid helps to lighten the skin and reduce dark spots, while Allantoin aids to soothe irritated skin and reduce inflammation. Vitamin A encourages cell turnover and fights wrinkles, Vitamin E protects the skin from environmental damage, and Argan oil replenishes the skin’s natural oils.
Interesting fact:
The cream texture changes between seasons (the cream formulation remains the same). It is thicker in winter to keep your skin moisturised throughout the day but lighter in summer.
Our Rejuvenating Rose Bomb Facial Oil is the perfect addition to your winter skincare routine. This luxurious oil is enriched with a blend of organic oils that will leave your skin feeling nourished and rejuvenated.
Firstly, our facial oil contains Rosehip oil which is rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids. These nutrients help to hydrate and brighten the skin, reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
In addition, our facial oil is enriched with Sweet almond oil. This is a natural emollient that soothes and moisturises dry skin. Argan oil is also included in our blend. This is a powerful ingredient that reduces inflammation and redness while promoting the growth of healthy skin cells.
Jojoba oil is another essential ingredient in our facial oil, as it is known for its ability to deeply penetrate the skin and provide long-lasting hydration. Grapeseed oil is also included, which helps to regulate oil production in the skin, making it ideal for those with oily or acne-prone skin.
In our facial oil, Tea tree oil is added for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. This ingredient helps fight acne and other skin irritations, leaving your skin looking clear and radiant.
Lastly, our facial oil is enriched with Vitamin E oil. This is known for its ability to repair and protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals and environmental stressors.
Step 5: Protecting
Finally, protect your skin from the sun, even in winter. We recommend sunscreen that is lightweight, non-greasy, and provides broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays.
In conclusion, a winter skincare routine using Sative Beauty products can keep your skin healthy and glowing all season long. Remember to cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate, moisturise, and protect your skin to maintain health and beauty.
