Winter weather can be harsh on the skin, and it’s not uncommon to experience dryness and irritation during the colder months. One of the trends you’ll hear a lot about over Winter is face oils… but what’s it all about? The low humidity levels in the air, coupled with indoor heating, can cause the skin to lose its natural moisture and become dehydrated. Additionally, people tend to take hot showers or baths during the winter months, which can strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to further dryness. Dry skin can be uncomfortable and even painful, and it’s essential to take steps to keep your skin hydrated during the winter months. Drinking plenty of water, using a humidifier, and applying moisturiser regularly can all help combat winter dryness and keep your skin healthy and hydrated.
This is where facial oils can really benefit and here are some of the benefits of incorporating facial oils into your Winter skincare routine:
- Hydration: Facial oils are rich in nutrients and provide deep hydration for your skin, which can help to improve the appearance of dry, flaky or dehydrated skin.
- Nourishment: Many facial oils contain essential fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants which can help to nourish and protect your skin from environmental stressors like pollution, UV rays and harsh weather conditions.
- Anti-aging benefits: Some facial oils are rich in antioxidants and can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as improve skin texture and tone.
- Improve skin barrier function: The natural lipids found in facial oils can help to strengthen your skin barrier, which can improve your skin’s overall health and resilience.
- Soothing and calming: Many facial oils contain natural ingredients such as chamomile, lavender and rosehip which can help to soothe and calm irritated skin.
- Versatile: Facial oils can be used on all skin types and can be incorporated into your skincare routine in a variety of ways, such as applying them before or after moisturiser, mixing them with your foundation or using them as a facial massage oil.
