Why Pre-Winter Exfoliation is a must and how to do it right

November 26, 2024

Exfoliation is a more detailed version of cleansing that helps remove the layer of dead cells, initiate circulation to the face and enhance the texture of your skin. Your exfoliant can a gentle but concentrated serum that works on eliminating the dead layer to make way for fresher, healthier skin. But why exfoliate in Winter?

    • With lesser sun exposure, you can subject your skin to deeper cleans that can make your skin sensitive to sunlight. And that’s why sunscreen is important all year round.
    • In colder temperatures, it is important to pamper your skin with a deep moisturizer but these nourishing creams can backfire if the skin is not cleansed from within. Creamy formulations can result in clogged pores and unfortunate breakouts; Enter exfoliation! They help remove the layer of dead skin cells, allow for serums, moisturizer to penetrate though the layers working its magic.
    • Exfoliation rekindles your skin from hibernation giving way for newer, rejuvenated skin.

Here is what you need to keep in mind when you start out your pre-winter exfoliation:

  • Exfoliating is meant for all skin types but it is important to consider the texture and sensitivity of your skin before choosing the kind of exfoliant. As a grainy scrub may irritate the skin or a non-abrasive serum can cause the skin to react. It begins with understanding your skin type, texture, and its sensitives.
  • After an exfoliation, your skin while feeling clean might also feel sensitive, raw and exposed with the removal of dead cells. That is why this activity is best part of PM routine as your skin gets a chance to rejuvenate indoors without exposure to external stressors – dust, pollution, sunlight.
  • While we tend to focus on the face, your body requires equal attention. Your back, knees, elbows, your neck require stimulation and removal of dead cells too. It is important to lock in on all the moisture across your face and body. Colder winds tend to dehydrate the skin. Winter gives you the perfect time to give your face and body some much needed end of the year nourishment.
  • While we are busy exfoliating, a non-negotiable is our sunscreen. Sunlight may be a rarer occurrence but the rays can be as harsh even in the colder months, your skin needs a resilient barrier to keep it protected. Further, exfoliation may increase your skin’s sensitivity so Sunscreen is a must!
  • Your exfoliation is not complete without a solid moisturizer that seals in all the hydration to give you back your natural radiance. A great moisturizer can elevate your exfoliation. The D wave moisturizer rich with Olive squalane is the boost your skin needs after a thorough exfoliation. Its light weight texture makes less sticky while it nourishes the skin deep within and protects it from external stress.
  • There is such a thing as over exfoliation and you need to be careful that you do not strip your skin of its essential’s oils; leaving it dry, irritated, and sensitive. Start off small and take it slow.

Exfoliation is an effective form of self-care for your skin as this thorough cleanse gets rid of all the dead cells, impurities clogged with your pores to make way for renewed skin. Time to make this ritual, an important part of your winter skin routine for that ultimate natural glow.
