Keep Your Skin Soft & Smooth During Winter

Nahhh... There are no white walkers, just peeling, flaking, cracking, redness, and itching if you do not take care of your skin, which might make you look like one of the white walkers tho. 

So, what do we need to do to prevent that?

Apply lotion on winter is crucial; however, merely applying them on the outer surface of your skin is not enough as the skin is designed to keep things out. Therefore, they are poorly absorbed by your skin, especially aging skin, which is prone to poor absorption as its lipid balance is slowly damaging the cause of aging.

You’re what you eat as the food you consume is healthy, the better your skin will look. All the food we eat becomes not only a part of our inner being but also the outer fabric of our body.

Therefore, we should maintain skin moisturization from the inside out by consuming CERA5™, which is uniquely designed to work from the inside, delivering both internal and external results.

It is a powerful skin-hydration promoting beauty supplement that is formulated to provide an endogenous natural moisturizer for the whole body. 

Besides, it able to enhance long term moisturization and protects the skin from external elements and work as an invisible shield for our skin, protecting it from the daily onslaught of free radicals.

Yes! Change your cleanser to soap-free and alcohol-free cleanser, which able to cleanse those excess oils and dirt without disrupting the moisture barrier.  

We know how satisfying is it to wash your face with a foaming cleanser that makes you feel you have a squeaky-clean look, but we do not think that is a good idea to use in the winter as it can make your skin feeling tight and dry within minutes you rinse off. The reason being our skin’s pH is acidic while those foamy cleaners have an alkaline pH. 

Do remember that you don't need foam to get the dirt off. You need the right cleanser to help protect and nourish your skin while reducing acne, blemishes, and other skin impurities.

You might want to try out our star product — ORIQUE™ Gentle Cleansing Gel, which is a water-activated, soap-free, natural surfactant daily cleanser. It comes with a lightweight formula with clean and hydrated after-feel without tight or waxy feeling and chamomile extract to reduce skin inflammation & prevent bacterial infection. If you already have one ORIQUE cleanser somewhere laying around in your house then good job, time to put it into use.

Toner is an often overlooked step in the skincare routine. Other than removing every last trace of dirt or makeup, toner can restore skin moisture and pH balance, which is crucial for you in the wintertime to maintain a healthy and flawless complexion after cleansing.

You can look for those products with natural plant extracts such as Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract and Witch Hazel as they are rich in antioxidant and able to reduce flaking & restore suppleness, which is already in ORIQUE™ Deep Moisturizing Refreshing Toning Mist.

“No way... my skin will ended up red, itchy, and broken out!”

Yes, it will if you pick the wrong products! You should choose chemical exfoliation instead of those microbeads, which requires a physical force to remove dead skin cells. So why do you still need to exfoliate during the cold season? Because dead skin cells will tend to block your holy grail moisturizers from absorbing adequately into your skin.

Are you having an acne-prone skin? If you are, we suggest you not to skip this step. (YEAP!) During the winter season, the formation of acne is mainly due to comedones and excess oils. 

Our best recommendation is using ComeMinus®. It is blackhead, whitehead, and acne serum that able to dissolving and softening comedones, breaking up clumps of dead skin cells.

Yep, do not forget your serum! Serum can truly penetrate the skin and hydrate on the deepest level rather than sit on top of your skin to get you through the winter.

The leading causes of fine lines and wrinkles are dry skin, and sadly this will make skin look older. (OH NO!) Therefore, it is crucial to apply a serum that able to provide antioxidant benefits and help inhibit premature aging such as UltraPeptide™Advanced Deep Regeneration Serum.

We all know that moisturizers are able to create a barrier on the upper layer of our skin so that all things applied will remain in our skin instead of seeping out. As most of the people over-moisturizing their skin during winter climates to combat dry or flaky skin, which might result in more congestion and breakouts, especially for acne-prone skin. So how to prevent this from happening?

You may try a moisturizer that will protect your skin and give it lasting moisture such as UltraMoist™, which delivers a burst of intense hydration as it penetrates deep skin layers to hydrate while rebuilding damaged cells. 

Meanwhile, for those who do not like wearing heavier formula, go for XeroMinus®. It can renew dry, damaged skin by reducing flaking while locking in moisture and nutrients. As oily skin can still dry out in winter, so XeroMinus® is the best moisturizer for oily skin, which can soothe itchy & irritated skin caused by acne.

“But it is Winter!”

Well, don’t be fooled by grey and blustery sky in winter. The sunlight still contains harmful UV rays, and the blue light rays from your phone and computer can accelerate your skin’s aging process. No matter if you're staying indoor or outdoor, it’s recommended to apply at least SPF15 to protect your skin. 

Try out UltraShield™ Zero-Imperfection Daily Defense (DD) Cream, which comes with SPF 20 PA+++ in a universal translucent shade. It can cover all the traces of blemishes while protecting and boosting collagen production to correct skin imperfections, allowing your skin to look its best all day long.
