Winter Skin Survival Guide
Winter marks the most challenging time of year for your skin. Your skin might be feeling it already.
To fight deeper wrinkles, dull texture, and dry patches, it’s more important than ever to keep skin hydrated, nourished, and protected.
We recommend these products to help you through the dry months ahead, both on their own and as a combined, complete winter regimen.
CLEANSE: HYDRALUX CLEANSER
Make sure to begin with a hydrating cleanser. We recommend our Hydralux Cleanser, which contains deeply moisturizing red algae peptides. It also soothes and softens with vitamin B3 and ginger and chamomile essential oils.
Did you know that pollution particulate matter levels are higher indoors than outdoors? With greater time spent indoors, this season is particularly important to cleanse and protect against pollution. Besides hydrating, Hydralux Cleanser also penetrates and purifies pores, eliminating pollution of size PM0.1 or greater, helping you keep your skin clear, smooth, and radiant.
TREAT: VITABRIGHT MOISTURE BOOST
Follow cleanser with a protective and hydrating serum. Vitabright Moisture Boost is perfect for this time of year. It uses bioidentical glycolipids and phospholipids to restore and replenish the skin barrier, sealing the cracks between corneocytes and mitigating dryness caused by transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
In addition to powerful hydration, Vitabright Moisture Boost contains Lipochroman®, the strongest antioxidant on the market and the only antioxidant to protect against carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen free radicals. Lipochroman® helps keep skin acne-free, bright, and hydrated by protecting skin against pollution damage.
Vitabright Moisture Boost also uses vitamins E and F, which are both excellent for additional antioxidant protection and skin nutrition. Even on the coldest day, Vitabright Moisture Boost will help your skin shine.
MOISTURIZER: HYDRALUX FIRMING CREAM
Follow treatment serum with a moisturizer to lock-in extra hydration. We recommend Hydralux Firming Cream during winter because it combines several sources of skin hydration, with firming and moisturizing peptides and brighteners.
Hydralux Firming Cream is a strong moisturizer that’s well-suited for winter use.
PROTECT: HYDRALUX PHYSICAL 30
Our anti-aging tinted moisturizer, Hydralux Physical 30, is a fantastic product year-round, yet its protection properties are especially effective for winter hydration. It contains aloe vera, a well-rounded ingredient with a range of antioxidant benefits as well as skin softening, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties.
Hydralux Physical 30 also includes 7.5% zinc oxide and 3.2% titanium dioxide to block UVB (burning) and UVA (aging) rays. Along with firming peptides that work as collagen and elastin boosters to lessen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and minimize signs of aging. It smooths, soothes, protects, and hydrates for the perfect winter glow.
RESCUE: HYDRALUX OXYGEN MASK
When winter dryness hits especially hard, you can get relief using this ultra-moisturizing mask. Hydralux Oxygen Mask uses strawberry seed oil as an occlusive moisturizer, repairing the skin barrier to restore hydration. It also reenergizes and lifts the skin using firming peptides, marine algae extract, and a revitalizing yeast complex.
Hydralux Oxygen Mask has been clinically shown to increase skin elasticity and smoothness by up to 33% with daily use over a four-week period. For best results, glow, and hydration, you can use it as an overnight mask, applying it as the last step in your evening regimen.
