The Best Winter Face Care Essentials For
Uber - Nourished, Bright & Glowing Skin
Winter mornings are a sigh of absolute comfort and coziness for anyone who layers themselves up with cozy blankets and comforters to keep the cold wind out. But for those who don’t? Well... it’s nothing short of a nightmare. The same is true for our skin too.
The cold and dry winter winds don’t just run chills throughout your body, but can also dehydrate your skin, dull your shine and leave you with scratchy, itchy and stretchy, nightmarish skin if you don’t protect it the way it deserves.
Layering our skin with the appropriate blankets of hydration and comforting dense moisturisation is the secret to waking up in a happy, comfortable and cozy body. Without it, our mornings would be filled with itchy foreheads, flaky cheeks, stretchy skin around the nose and mouth, just thinking about it is painful.
But does that mean you must complicate your skincare regime with more and more dense and hydrating products till your skin can no longer breathe? Absolutely not. Don’t ever go down that path again!
No matter how dry or dull your skin might get, the real secret to dewy and hydrated skin is using the right skin strengtheners, at the right time, in the right order.
What Does Ayurveda Say About The Winter Season?
Generally, we refer to seasons as Spring, Summer, Monsoon, Autumn, & Winter, but in Ayurveda, we characterise seasons as per the 3 Doshas – Pitta, Vata & Kapha.
Pitta Season – Later Spring + Summers
Vata Season – Autumn + Early Stages of Winters
Kapha Season – Later Stages of Winters + Early Stages of Spring
The Autumn (fall) season + early stages of the oncoming Winter is what we know as the Vata season. It's when the chilliness begins to settle around, just before the onset of the colder, harsher months. What follows this mildly cold season is Winter in full force and then the early bloom of Spring. This is Kapha.
Irrespective of your Dosha, the coldness of Late Vata and Early Kapha Season, will have some impact on you. However, the degree of its impact depends on how well you prepare your body for the seasons. Apart from eating right (sweet for Vata, pungent & bitter for Pitta and warming spices for Kapha), keeping warm and keeping yourself active (to avoid sluggishness), you must also indulge in a self-sufficing skincare routine that preps your skin to fight drying and cold winds that would otherwise leave your skin dehydrated.
Therefore, during the harsh winters, your skin requires tender care and optimum hydration so it can battle against the cold winds that would otherwise leave your skin gasping for moisture.
