Winter Skin Relief Day

Winter Skin Relief Day is January 8

Winter Skin Relief Day is celebrated every Winter on January 8. Winter time is a beautiful season that brings frosty chills, snowflakes, delicious hot chocolate, the Christmas holiday, and a new change in our skin. Due to the coldness, the skin tends to dry out in the winter because of the humidity. Winter Skin Relief Day is a reminder that everyone should give their skin some tender love and care.

Origin of Winter Skin Relief Day

CeraVe Skincare is a skincare company developed by dermatologists. The dermatologists created skincare products that hydrate, restore, and replenish the skin. These products include sunscreen, facial cleansers, facial moisturizers, face serums, and more. CeraVe realized the importance of keeping the skin healthy. The company also realized that people needed to be educated on skincare during the coldest month. Winter Skin Relief Day was born when CeraVe created a holiday that would educate people about how to take care of their skin during winter season.

Winter Skincare Tips

Winter is a time to give the skin the extra attention that it needs to stay hydrated and moisturized. A skincare routine includes more than just the face. A good skincare routine includes the face, lips, body, feet, and hands. Below are some tips to give your skin some TLC for Winter Skin Relief Day.

Face

• Always use skincare products that draw in the moisture to your skin.This can include skincare products with natural butters, absorbent oils, and skin creams.
• Before using any moisturizer, remember to always cleanse the skin first to give the pores a clean slate for the products to absorb into the skin.
• Toners and serums are awesome ways to even out the skin and maintain long-term moisture during the daytime.

Lips

• Exfoliate your lips with a natural sugar scrub. Remember to be gentle when exfoliating the lips. After exfoliating, remember to always apply a moisturizer afterwards to protect the skin.
• Lip balms and lip masks are efficient methods to keep the lips moisturized.

Body

• After taking a fresh shower, apply a moisturizing body butter, lotion, or skin oil to the entire body. It is best to apply body products coming fresh out the shower. The steam from the shower will warm the skin and help the product to soak into the skin.
• The shower will become your best friend during winter months. Always use body washes and soaps that does not strip the skin of its natural oils. Use body washes that contain oils and butters.

Feet

• Exfoliate the feet with a sugar scrub. Afterwards, apply a body butter, moisturizing lotion, or oil to draw moisture back into the feet.
• Soaking your feet in a bucket full of sea salt and water for 30 minutes is a great way to get rid of dead skin.

Hands

• Just like the feet and body, a good body butter/moisturizer will keep the hands moist. 
• The hands are the most common body part used daily, so we want to make sure that we are giving the hands extra attention.
