How Estheva Can Help You Achieve a Healthy Glow All Season
As the winter months settle in, our skin often bears the brunt of colder temperatures, harsh winds, and the drying effects of indoor heating. These conditions can leave skin feeling tight, dehydrated, and looking lackluster. At Estheva, we understand the unique challenges of winter skin care and offer personalized skincare consultations alongside a range of scientifically formulated products to help keep your skin radiant and healthy throughout the season.
Why Winter Affects Your Skin
Winter conditions reduce humidity in the air, which strips moisture from the skin’s surface. This lack of moisture can lead to dryness, irritation, and even an increase in sensitivity. Without proper care, you may notice signs like flaky skin, a dull complexion, or an uncomfortable tightness. Protecting your skin barrier becomes essential, as it helps lock in hydration and maintain a smooth, glowing complexion.
At Estheva, we tailor skincare solutions to individual needs, ensuring each client can maintain healthy skin through a regimen designed specifically for the winter season. Our skincare consultation service can assess your skin’s unique needs and recommend targeted treatments and products. Book a consultation here.
Key Steps in Winter Skin Care
For optimal results, winter skin care should focus on three main steps: hydration, protection, and gentle exfoliation. Let’s explore each step and see how Estheva’s ERA product range can assist in building a routine suited to the colder months.
Hydration and Protection with Vitamin C
One of the most effective ways to protect your skin against winter’s oxidative stress is with a quality vitamin C serum. Our ERA 10% Vitamin C Serum is ideal for adding an extra layer of protection and hydration during winter. Formulated with 10% Ascorbic Acid, this serum targets free radicals, which can damage skin cells and accelerate aging. Perfect for younger or oily skin types, it’s designed to brighten your complexion and prevent the signs of aging, resulting in a healthier, more vibrant look.
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps shield your skin from environmental stressors like pollution and UV rays, which can still cause damage even on overcast winter days. This lightweight, palm-free serum is perfect for daily use, especially when layered under a moisturizer. Explore ERA 10% Vitamin C Serum here.
Increasing Cell Turnover with Retinol
In the winter, skin cell turnover can slow down, which can make your skin look dull and tired. Introducing retinol into your routine can be highly beneficial, as it speeds up cell turnover and reveals fresh, glowing skin beneath. Our ERA Brightening Serum contains 1% Retinol, a stabilized derivative of Vitamin A, which is effective in refining pores and diminishing the appearance of fine lines and pigmentation.
While retinol is beneficial year-round, using it in winter can be especially advantageous. The limited sunlight during winter reduces the risk of UV sensitivity often associated with retinol, allowing it to work its magic overnight. This serum helps to keep your skin looking youthful and vibrant, with long-lasting effects that will carry you through winter. Discover ERA Brightening Serum here.
Gentle Exfoliation with AHAs
Exfoliation is a critical step in winter skin care, but it’s essential to be gentle. Harsh exfoliants can strip your skin of natural oils, leaving it feeling even more dry and irritated. Our ERA Brightening Cleanser is the perfect solution for maintaining smooth skin without compromising moisture levels. This cleanser contains natural Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), including Glycolic and Citric Acid, which gently exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and impurities.
Additionally, this cleanser includes Salicylic Acid, a beta hydroxy acid that helps to cleanse pores and reduce excess oil. Used regularly, the ERA Brightening Cleanser reveals younger-looking, refreshed skin and prepares it for the next steps in your routine. This gentle formulation is ideal for winter, as it provides effective exfoliation without causing irritation. View ERA Brightening Cleanser here.
Additional Winter Skin Care Tips
Aside from using high-quality skincare products, making small lifestyle adjustments can enhance your winter skin care results:
Stay Hydrated
Drinking enough water remains crucial, as dehydration can make your skin appear dry and dull.
Avoid Overly Hot Showers
While a hot shower may feel tempting in the winter, high temperatures can strip away your skin’s natural oils, leaving it drier. Opt for lukewarm water to help retain moisture.
Use a Humidifier
Indoor heating can make the air extremely dry, which impacts your skin. A humidifier helps maintain moisture levels in the air, which benefits your skin barrier.
Moisturize While Skin Is Damp
Applying moisturizer right after cleansing or showering helps to lock in hydration, keeping your skin supple and soft.
Don’t Skip Sunscreen
Even though the sun is less intense in winter, UV rays can still damage your skin. A broad-spectrum SPF is an essential part of any routine, regardless of the season.
