Winter Skin Survival Guide: Stay Hydrated & Glowing
As winter settles in, it’s easy for skin to lose that radiant glow. But, with a little help from our expert estheticians at Beauty Mark, and a hyper-customized routine for your unique skin, you can keep your complexion glowing and healthy...no matter the weather.
Easy at-home tips to ensure your skin stays hydrated and happy all season long →
❆ Hydration is Key
Cold, dry air can leave your skin feeling parched and dull, so locking in moisture is a top priority. Switching your moisturizer to a richer version is a MUST in a dry climate. One of our new favorites is Cream Extraordinary from MBR (Medical Beauty Research). This cream is designed for more mature skin types that need extra support to combat signs of aging like deep wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and dullness.
This cream has a rich, luxurious texture that melts into skin, leaving it deeply nourished, yet not greasy. A great option for those who prefer thicker, more moisturizing creams, especially in dry or colder climates.
↑This is an amazing cream but may not be the right on for your unique skin. It’s best to consult with one of our Beauty Mark estheticians to review your regimen.
For an extra hydration boost, use a Biologique Recherche masque at home. There is a mask for every need: hydrating (Visolastine), lifting (Biofixine), purifying (Vivant), oxygenating (VIP O2)... whatever your skin may need to leave you fresh-faced and ready for the holidays.
Beauty Mark Tip: Apply a BR Masque before an evening out to keep your skin dewy and radiant all night or apply a mask to repair from the night before.
❆ Add a Humidifier to Your Routine
One of the easiest ways to prevent winter dryness is by adding moisture to the air, and we love using the Vitruvi humidifier. This sleek, stylish humidifier not only looks beautiful in your home but also helps keep the air around you humidified, which in turn keeps your skin hydrated. By running it overnight, you’ll wake up with plumper, more hydrated skin...no more waking up with dry patches!
Beauty Mark Tip: Add a diffuser to your bedroom décor- add a few drops of calming essential oils like lavender or eucalyptus to the diffuser for extra relaxation while you sleep.
❆ Strengthen Your Skin Barrier! This is sooo important!
If your skin burns when you apply your moisturizer you probably have a damaged barrier.
First take a look at your cleansing process →
Are you using the Biologique Recherche Micellaire water? This the HIGHEST quality micellar water that removes makeup and impurities. Enriched with Hyaluronic Acid, Peptides, and Amino Acids, it leaves your skin clean, hydrated, refreshed, and soothed. An essential first step when cleaning your skin.
Using a Biologique Recherche milk-based cleanser (like hydrating Dermo-S) offers unique benefits for the skin, especially when compared to more traditional gel or foam cleansers. Here are the key advantages:
Gentle yet effective → Milk-based cleansers are known for their ability to cleanse skin without disrupting its natural balance. They effectively remove dirt, oil, and makeup, but with a softer touch, making them ideal for sensitive or dry skin types.
Preserves Skin’s Protective Barrier → The gentle nature of a milk-based formula ensures the skin’s lipid barrier is not stripped away during cleansing. This helps maintain the integrity of the skin’s natural defense system, reducing the risk of irritation and over-drying.
Biologique Recherche cleansers effectively prep the skin for the next steps in your routine. They create a clean, balanced surface that enhances the absorption and effectiveness of toners, serums, and creams.
Cold, dry winds can weaken your skin’s barrier, making it more vulnerable to irritation and dehydration. That’s why it’s important to focus on strengthening your barrier with nourishing ingredients.
Use Environ’s Hydrating Oil Capsules for a luxurious, concentrated dose of antioxidants and moisture...perfect for giving your skin the protection it needs during the colder months. Add one-two oil capsules to your routine by pressing onto skin post-moisturizer.
❆ Gently Exfoliate
Exfoliating is essential in the winter to slough off dead skin cells and reveal the fresh, glowing skin beneath. Remember to be gentle! Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 is the perfect winter exfoliant. It’s a cult favorite for a reason. This all-in-one product refines texture, balances pH, and exfoliates without stripping your skin’s natural moisture.
For those with sensitive or dry skin, we recommend using Lotion P50V, a gentler version that still delivers all the exfoliation benefits while soothing the epidermis.
We are here for you and your skin goals six days a week!
