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!
