Since autumn is coming to an end and cold weather is rushing in, those long summer nights and sun-kissed skin start to become a distant memory. Just because you will be trading in your swimsuit for a heavy winter coat doesn’t mean that you have to say goodbye to your summer skin as well. Here are some tips for keeping that summer glow all season long!

Always Drink Water!

During the colder months, you may forget to hydrate your body since you don’t sweat as much when walking outside. The air tends to dry out your skin even more during the winter months and can cause dry, red, and flaky skin unless you take matters into your own hands. Even though our body temps may stay cool, it is very important to drink plenty of liquids because cold air doesn’t contain much moisture. You may not be thirsty for water, but you can incorporate liquids into your diet. Eating soup is a great option for you during the winter. Not only will it fill you up and keep you warm, it also hydrates you. 

Think About What You Eat

We all know that keeping a balanced diet is important for our overall health, but consuming certain foods can target specific health concerns. There are certain foods that promote heart health and lower cholesterol, there are also foods that are good for your skin too. Blueberries, for example are great for repairing damaged skin and fighting off acne, while green tea helps sooth inflammation.

Exfoliate

To maintain your natural glow, exfoliating your skin is one of the best things you can do. Sometimes dead skin cells that have already shed remain on the surface of your skin and that can lead to a rough and dull appearance. If you neglect to clear away these dead cells that can lead to oily skin and clogged pores. Try the OCEANE Beauty Collagen Pink Pearl Mask to absorb any excess oils and removes dead skin. You will notice a big difference in your complexion.

For a whole body glow, you can add body scrubs such as, OCEANE Beauty Souff le Body Scrub to your routine while in the bath or shower. And be weary of extremely hot temperatures since hot water can have a very drying effect on the skin. 

Moisturize

To achieve an amazing glow, it is important to remember to moisturize. Apply OCEANE’s Body Butter after your shower in the morning and keep a small hand lotion with you to use throughout the day. If you have extra dry or sensitive skin, try wearing a type of gloves or socks that specializes in moisturizing to lock in the moisture. This will help maintain the moisture while you are sleeping with your socks.

Sleep

Not too many realize that one of the quickest ways to care for your cold weather skin us to get eight hours of sleep at night. All of our bodies need time to rest and reset for the upcoming day. We don’t always get extra time because of our hectic schedules during the holidays, but make sure that you are getting a full nights rest. You will not only wake up refreshed, sleep is important for your overall health. 

Protect Your Skin

Whenever you are outside make sure that you have a scarf, hat and a pair of gloves when you are going out into the harsh cold weather. And just because we may not be laying on a beach does not mean that you don’t need to protect your skin from the sun. UV rays can still harm your skin on cold, cloudy days, make sure to buy lotions and chapsticks with SPF protection. 

Don’t let the colder winter months get you down. You just have to put a little extra effort in to maintain your hydrated, healthy skin, but the results are well worth it!

Between the harsh, cold temperatures outside and heaters blasting inside, our skin can have a hard time adjusting to the elements. These colder months can be very harsh on our skin. Instead of just putting on extra moisturizer, just follow these tips on switching up your skincare routine for this time of the year.

Incorporate New Products

We are all pretty guilty of keeping the same skincare routine year round, but there are many benefits that you will notice when you start to make tiny tweaks when the season changes. Instead of doing a complete skincare overhaul, try adding a few “holy grail” products that helps your skin through the season.

Stay Hydrated

During the summer it is easy to remember to carry a water bottle around because it is so HOT out. But we must also remember that keeping up our water intake is just as important in the colder months. We may not be sweating but our body is losing water. We all know that dehydrated skin looks scaly and dull but you can help combat your skin’s water withdrawals by refilling that water glass and finding a cute humidifier to add to your night stand. They keep moisture in the air, helping ensure you wake up with soft and supple skin.

Focus On Your Whole Body

 We tend to focus on our faces when it comes to the skincare department, but taking a whole body approach to skincare is essential during the changing seasons! Try stocking your nightstands with these winter favorites!

• Our lips need a lot of care during the colder months and the best time to heal and moisturize them deeply is at night.
• Add a little luxury to your skincare by adding moisturizing socks or gloves while you sleep.
• Exfoliate and moisturize your body too, not just your face. In the shower try lathering up with the OCEANE Salt Scrub and finish with the OCEANE Body Butter to combat the tight dry feeling that sometimes happens with after shower skin.

Take Care Of Yourself From The Inside Out

Our nutritional habits usually start to slip in the winter and we start eating all the comfort food. While it’s most definitely about balance, nutrition habits can easily slip in the winter as we’re swapping out salads for Santa’s cookies.

When you can, try to remember to work in super foods like salmon, olive oil, and leafy greens that offer key vitamins and the fatty acids that help keep our skin supple.

Use SPF!

This one is the oldest rule in the book! You should be keeping up with this part of your summer routine that is essential year round. The cold weather can make us believe that we do not need to apply sunscreen regularly. Believe it or not but we can get winter sunburns (probably from a ski trip) and that can add up to serious chapping. To protect your skin year round, find a product that you can work into your beauty routine without having to think too hard about it.

Manage Your Stress

The holidays can be a very stressful time of the year. The winter brings on the endless cocktail and holiday parties, which can leave little to no downtime for ourselves. When become stressed that can lead to acne. If your skin is one of the first places stress shows up, be sure to do whatever personal hobby that winds you down.
