Winter is nearly here! It is time to prep for the shift in your skincare routine, and if there’s one thing that’s absolutely crucial for your winter routine, it’s HYDRATION. Your skin is the biggest line of defense against germs. This cold winter weather tends to dry out the natural oils of your skin. And if your skin is cracked and broken, it’s going to leave you vulnerable. Here are some products and a routine you can highlight to your customers during the winter.
1. Cleanse
Making sure you cleanse your skin daily is a vital part of skincare. Washing your face removes dirt, oil, and other unwanted debris. During the day, your skin builds up bacteria, pollutants, viruses, dirt, and dead skin. If you go without washing your face, it can lead to blocked pores and blemishes. The Lumière de Vie’s Facial Cleanser helps to moisturize while cleansing, refreshing, and invigorating the skin. The appearance of rough, dry skin is visibly diminished, creating softer and smoother skin.
2. Exfoliate
Exfoliating in the winter helps replenish your skin. In order for your dehydrated skin to breathe and to improve the effectiveness of moisturizers, you need to buff away those dead cells so new cells can come in healthier without obstruction. The Lumiere de Vie Hommes Exfoliating Face Scrub feels refreshing and leaves your skin feeling smooth. Exfoliate your skin two to three times a week!
3. Tone
Using the Lumiere de Vie Toner or our Hommes Refreshing Toner Pads rebalances your skin’s pH in order to properly absorb all the other skincare products in your routine. Bringing your skin back to balance promotes healthy skin hydration, effectively reducing the appearance of rough, dry skin for a softer, smoother complexion. This brings us to another vital part of your winter skincare routine…
4. Treat
The UV index is low and your beach days are limited. This is a great time to help correct and treat your skin to help you reach your skin goals! SHOP.COM has an array of skincare treatments to get you started. If you are lost on where to start, take our Custom Skin Quiz!

5. Moisturize
Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! Due to weather conditions, hot showers, and dry indoor heating, it is now a great time to use more intensive hydrating treatments and thicker moisturizers under your daily SPF. This will create a barrier and protect our skin.
