Cold weather, <a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/health\/sunlight-benefits\/\">less sunlight<\/a>, and dry indoor air all have a negative impact on skin health. Here are some strategies for keeping your skin happy and healthy this winter that go beyond just using lotion!<\/p>\n<p>For many of us, winter is a time of cold weather. And if you live in the far northern regions, like the Arctic Circle, then you\u2019re dealing with even more frequent colder temperatures. Cold winter air and indoor heating dry skin out. We also experience a dip in vitamin D levels in the winter due to less sunlight. This leads to a damaged skin barrier and loss of hydration.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-reason-behind-winter-skincare\">The Reason Behind Winter Skincare<\/h2>\n<p>Using moisturizing skincare products that help add hydration back into the top layers of the skin is important. Also, using heavier creams and lotions that create more of a barrier from the elements. Winter is also a time of less sunlight and usually less sun exposure, which is what our skin needs to <a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/health\/vitamin-d\/\">synthesize vitamin D.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The lower our vitamin D levels are, the higher the risk of overall inflammation from our immune system. Low vitamin D levels also play a role in our skin health, including an increased risk of eczema and psoriasis.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When dry air and low temperatures hit, <a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/podcast\/644\/\">our skin barrier <\/a>doesn\u2019t function as well and we\u2019re more likely to notice damage. Keratinocytes make up 90% of the epidermis, our skin\u2019s outer layer. They release pro-inflammatory cytokines and cortisol that makes skin even more reactive to irritants. This is why your normal skincare routine may not cut it once colder weather comes around.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Increasing hydration and protecting the skin barrier are a must this time of year!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-heating-things-up\">Heating Things Up<\/h2>\n<p>Another surprising way to increase our skin\u2019s resilience to the elements may be to expose it to more of them. <a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/podcast\/634\/\">Sauna exposure<\/a> increases skin circulation, boosts skin hydration, and helps maintain skin pH for more resilient skin. It helps our skin lose less moisture, especially when exposed to dry, winter air. Research shows sauna also helps our skin recover faster from water loss and skin pH disruption.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also some evidence that <a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/health\/ice-bath-benefits\/\">contrast therapy, <\/a>alternating between really hot and really cold temperatures may also help. Many traditional northern cultures and even athletes alternate between sauna sessions and cold exposure. This helps our skin become more resilient and handle temperature fluctuations better.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tweaking-our-environment\">Tweaking Our Environment<\/h2>\n<p>Increasing humidity in the home <a href=\"https:\/\/www.awin1.com\/cread.php?awinmid=92525&amp;awinaffid=405484&amp;ued=https%3A%2F%2Fgetcanopy.co%2Fcollections%2Fhumidifiers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">with a humidifier<\/a> also helps restore moisture to skin. If you have indoor heating, which is likely in most areas, this pulls moisture from the air. The dry air in turn then pulls moisture from your skin, further increasing dehydration.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Your home can feel as dry as the desert, but it may actually be even worse. Indoor humidity can drop to 10-20% with the heater on, while the Sahara Desert hovers at about a 25% humidity level. What follows is tight, dry skin that\u2019s more easily damaged. You can also notice more fine lines and wrinkles forming. No, thank you!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hydration-at-a-cellular-level\">Hydration at a Cellular Level<\/h2>\n<p>Something else I\u2019ve been using lately that I\u2019ve found has made a big difference in my hydration levels is structured water. There\u2019s some fascinating research about the molecular structure of natural water found in springs and melting glaciers. Evidence suggests that structured water hydrates us at a cellular level much more efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve noticed better hydration myself since switching to structured water. If you don\u2019t have access to a natural and clean spring in your backyard, you can also run filtered water through the Mayu Swirl, which is what I do. You can <a href=\"https:\/\/mayuwater.com\/?ref=ntwmlrjm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">learn more about Mayu<\/a> here and get a discount with code wellnessmama.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And of course, keeping up with minerals helps cellular hydration to keep skin healthy from the inside out. I\u2019ll rotate through <a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/remedies\/mineral-drink\/\">different minerals<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/health\/make-sole\/\">salt water<\/a> depending on what I feel like that day.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-winter-skincare-products-to-get\">Winter Skincare Products to Get<\/h2>\n<p>While hydration starts from the inside, using products topically on skin at the same time can still be really helpful. I\u2019m a big fan of making my own products, but there are some really good natural skincare products available now in stores and online. Here are some of my favorite brands to buy healthy skincare from, including lotions, serums, and balms for winter skincare.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/alituranaturals.pxf.io\/e1rnWQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Alitura <\/a>\u00a0\u2013 check out their moisturizer and night cream<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/partners.annmariegianni.com\/idevaffiliate.php?id=1781&amp;url=6696\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Annmarie Gianni<\/a> \u2013 their herbal facial oil is a favorite<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/oneskin.pxf.io\/LKRrNY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">One Skin<\/a> \u2013 this uses patented peptides for science-driven natural skincare<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.toupsandco.com\/wellnessmama\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Toups &amp; Co<\/a> \u2013 their tallow face balm is a must have<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-diy-winter-skincare\">DIY Winter Skincare<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re a DIY person, then I\u2019ve got plenty of different skincare recipes to help your skin feel its best. While I\u2019ve come up with tons of recipes I love over the years, here are some that work best in colder, drier weather.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lotions-and-balms\">Lotions and Balms<\/h3>\n<p>Use these on your face and body for more moisturized skin. Oil-based products help provide a protective barrier on skin to aid in moisture retention and prevent damage from the elements.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-face-and-body-scrubs\">Face and Body Scrubs<\/h3>\n<p>Moisturizing is important, but you may also notice flaky skin this time of year. Scrubs can help to gently remove dead skin cells so you can start with a clean slate. The key is to use scrubs that aren\u2019t overly harsh on skin and still provide some protection with nourishing oils.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-love-your-lips\">Love Your Lips<\/h3>\n<p>Lips can really take a beating, feel dry, and start to peel. Drinking lots of water with minerals helps, but sometimes you just need a trusty lip balm. I also love using a good lip scrub first to get rid of the peeling skin and that dry, gummy feeling.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-face-moisturizing-nbsp\">Face Moisturizing\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p>What works well on the rest of our skin doesn\u2019t always work best on our delicate facial skin. Here are some of my favorites to help minimize the appearance of fine lines and rough spots and nourish the skin on my face.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-soothing-soak\">A Soothing Soak<\/h3>\n<p>Nothing beats a nice, relaxing soak in the tub. Be sure to use warm, but not piping hot water, which can worsen moisture loss from skin. Don\u2019t have a bathtub? Try a foot bath!<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to do everything all at once, but pick a few skincare items you love and give them a try. It\u2019s nice to have a little pampering session in between running kids to practices, changing diapers, cooking meals, and everything else us moms do!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are some of your favorite ways to care for your skin during winter?
