15 Simple Yet Effective Winter Skincare Tips For Managing Dry And Oily Skin

Apply Sunscreen

It is common to assume that because the sun is weak during the winter, there is no need to use sunscreen. However, skin gets exposed to UV radiation from the sun even when it is not scorching hot outside. As a result, sunscreen is as essential during the winter as it is in the summer. Invest in a quality product with an SPF (sun protection factor) of at least thirty, and use it before leaving home for the day. Alternatively, buy a moisturizer that contains sun protection. Use the product on any part of the skin that will be exposed to the sun or on the entire body.

Use Skin Toners

Skin toners are an important part of a skincare routine, particularly for those with oily skin. During the winter, skin tends to produce more oil to compensate for the dryness. If this oil is not managed, it can clog pores and cause further problems. A good toner can remove the excess oil and prevent a 'shiny' face. It also reduces the need to frequently reapply face powder when wearing makeup. Look for a toner that is gentle on the skin and does not contain harsh, drying ingredients. Use it once a day after washing and cleansing the face.
