Wednesday, December 4, 2019 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Holidays clean; you wake up clean. No need to cleanse again in the morning 4 unless you have acne or oily skin and feel the need to gently cleanse again. The mainstay of winter skin care is an increased use of intense moisturizers, humec- tants and protectants. The goal is to combat TEWL and to keep skin hydrated. These are a few of my favorite things: 1. Hyaluronic acid: Don9t be frightened by the <acid= part. Hyaluronic acid occurs natu- rally in the skin and in the synovial fluid that surrounds our joints. It is a great plumper, hold- ing up to 1,000 times its weight in water. The amount we produce declines with age, so topi- cal products with this ingredient have a great effect on aging skin. 2. Collagen-boosting peptides: A 2004 study showed that subjects using collagen-boosting peptides after 2 months showed 6.5 percent thicker skin than retinol users, who showed a 4 percent increase. Retinol can cause irritation, especially during winter months. Peptides pro- vide better results, without irritation. 3. Wetter water: A good hydrating, purifying water essence to apply along with your mois- turizer. Some good natural ingredients to con- sider are birch water essence, calendula, shea butter, naturally rich in vitamins A, and E, a nut oil that moisturizes, revitalizes and softens the skin. 4. Glycolic and lactic acids. Both are exfo- liants as well as humectants. They work to gently remove dry, dead cells on the surface of the skin and to accelerate cell turnover. It9s dur- ing cellular renewal that natural barrier lipids are produced. This process results in healthier beautiful skin. 5. Sunscreen SPF 30: Yes, sunscreen is important even in winter. In fact, any skier can show you that sun off snow will burn the skin. Any cream or any foundation contain- ing sunscreen must be applied every two hours in order to offer adequate protection. Cream sunscreens are not photostable, meaning they break down as soon as the sun hits the skin. Also, creams are absorbed into the skin, along with any probable carrier product that may not be good for either the environment or the body. An alternative would be a non-nano cream, or a mineral sunscreen containing micronized zinc. 6. Cream or gentle milk cleanser: An organic, gentle cleanser is especially impor- tant during winter to avoid over-stripping the skin. Suds are not necessary in order to remove makeup or sunscreen residue. If your skin feels tight or itchy and dry after cleansing, try a dif- ferent product. In order to help support healthy winter skin, avoid occlusive products that contain petro- leum. Avoid overcleansing, especially with harsh soaps. Avoid extremes of heat and cold. Avoid overuse of tretinoin. As always, consult your skincare specialist with concerns or questions, and enjoy this holi- day season!
