My 5 must have Lotus Botanicals Products for winter skin care

Skin care has been a very important part of my daily routine. As I hit mid 30’s I recognized the importance of daily skin care and use of good and effective products to keep my skin healthy and age gracefully.

But you know, at times we forget to adapt to the changing weather. With every change in climate, our skin needs special care too. In winters skin tends to get dry and hence a product which can meet the need it required.

Let’s first understand how winter damages our skin

The dryness and low humidity in the air can really create a havoc for the skin. Furthermore, indoor heating robs the skin of its moisture. Which leads to winter itching, dryness and skin irritation. So, no matter how much you layer up for your body, your skin health is going to drop in winters.

So, to combat this, we need to follow certain skin care routine

1. Stay Hydrated: Winter is the time when one drinks less water, and the low humidity takes away the moisture from our skin. Hence make it a point to consume a considerable amount of water to keep the skin and body well hydrated.
2. Avoid long hot showers: Though one may enjoy standing under the hot shower in cold winters, it’s not the best thing to do for your skin. Excess use of hot water can leave the skin dry. And if not moisturized immediately it can leave the skin dry and itchy. Instead bathe in lukewarm waters to protect the skin.
3. Moisturize: Like our body, our skin needs water too and the best way to provide it is by moisturizing it.
4. Protect from UV rays: Though the warm sun rays may feel pleasant to the skin, the winter sun and its UV rays can damage the skin. So, keeping it safe with a good Sunscreen is a must.
5. Follow a daily skin care regime: A basic skin care regime is not hard to follow. Winter makes it hard for your skin to stay healthy and glowing and hence it needs help. A regular skin care routine can keep the skin replenished.

While we are talking about skin care, I chose my products based on my skin type which is dual. My skin gets oily during summers and extremely dry during winters. That’s why I must choose my skin care products based on climate. When it comes to skin, we really don’t want to compromise and go for the best. And when I talk about best, nothing is better than what comes from nature.

Lotus Botanicals products strikes a balance between nature and science. With ingredients sourced from nature, Lotus Botanicals products help heal the skin and make it radiant.

So here is my list of preferred products from Lotus Botanicals which I swear by for my winter skin care;

1. Vitamin C Skin Brightening Face Scrub: Yes, you may be amazed at seeing a face scrub in my list. It is said that one should avoid exfoliation during winters as it leaves the skin drier and itching. But I chose to use a scrub once a week even in winters. The Lotus Botanicals Vitamin C Skin Brightening Face Scrub is loaded with moisture as it gently cleans the skin. It’s not harsh or dry like other scrubs. Infused with 300X Vitamin C power, it helps clean the skin clean from any impurities, dead skin and harmful bacteria’s causing breakouts.

   

2. Bio retinol Youth Radiance Face Wash: Bio Retinol is a natural Vitamin A derivative which stimulates the production of Collagen. I use the Bio Retinol Youth Radiance Face Wash to thoroughly wash my face two times a day, in the morning and night to keep my skin free of any dust and pollution.

   

3. Vitamin C Skin brightening Face Serum: My skin loses its sheen in winters and so to maintain the goodness, I thrust my confidence in Vitamin C Skin Brightening Face Serum. Made of Vitamin C fruits extract and niacinamide, this lightweight serum helps revive my skin health by retaining moisture for a longer duration. It also fights signs of aging and brightening the skin with daily usage.

   

4. Bio Retinol Youth Radiance Cream: A cream made out of plant based retinol – Bakuchiol is a rich cream which revives and restores younger looking skin. The Bio Retinol Youth Radiance cream is light on the skin and its SPF 25 also gives the required sun protection. It’s formulated to boost elasticity, boost collagen and even out skin texture. It’s my daily go to crème to keep my skin supple, hydrated and nourished.

   

5. Vitamin C Skin Brightening Matte FLUID Sunscreen: Be it winters, I don’t skip my sunscreen. Though I may enjoy the warm sun, its UV rays damage my skin. Vitamin C Skin Brightening Matte FLUID Sunscreen is an amalgamation of SPF 50 and goodness of Vitamin C, making it a must in my daily routine. The best part is it doesn’t leave any white cast. Be it sun, rains or snow, I wear my sunscreen all the time.
