How does winter weather affect our skin? Let us count the ways. Freezing temperatures damage our hands and leave them feeling taut. At the same time, low humidity levels cause extreme dryness and itching by stripping our skin of its essential oils. When the winds pick up, we can suddenly find ourselves waking up to an aging face as our complexion takes on ashy tones that look unflattering under winter\u2019s cloudy skies.<\/p>\n
Even your favourite self-tanning solutions aren\u2019t safe from winter\u2019s icy reach. After all, dry skin is the most common culprit behind streaks, patches and stains. Now that the chill is in the air, are we doomed to suffer from dull and temperamental skin until spring comes back around? Not necessarily. Research shows that being proactive about winter skin care is the best way to fight the season\u2019s harsh weather conditions. Below, we share skin care tips that should be on your winter to-do list and tell you how to give your summer tanning routine a cool makeover.<\/p>\n
You don\u2019t need to spend a fortune on a hot overseas holiday to rock the sun-kissed goddess look in the off season. One of the most important skin care tips for creating a natural-looking winter tan is to start with a healthy base. Hydration is the key to achieving streak-free coverage with every application. To soothe winter\u2019s itch and banish dryness, stock up on heavy-duty lotions with emollient bases like shea butter or lanolin. Thick creams help seal in 24-hour hydration and guard against inflammation.<\/p>\n
Since using a hydrating daily lotion should make up for any significant moisture loss, keep exfoliating twice or three times a week. Scrubbing your skin on a regular basis is the secret to preventing tanning disasters and avoiding winter\u2019s dreaded lifeless complexion.<\/p>\n
When heading outdoors, protect your skin from damage with a high-SPF sunscreen lotion. Even when it feels weak, the sun can cause permanent damage and speed up aging. For extra protection, shield your most sensitive areas with warm, all-natural fabrics. On sensitive skin types, synthetics can contribute to cracking, dryness and redness.<\/p>\n
With winter skin care under control, creating flawless faux colour is easy. Here\u2019s how to do it:<\/p>\n
1. Always exfoliate the day before tanning. To optimise your results, polish your skin with Mine Tan\u2019s best-selling Perfect Start Primer.<\/p>\n
2. Choose a winter-friendly colour. Leave the deep bronzers in your summer collection. For natural-looking colour in cooler weather, pick up a peachy hue for pale skin or a caramel base if you have a medium or dark complexion.<\/p>\n
3. Use a therapeutic tanning formula. Packed with antioxidants and vitamins, Mine Tan\u2019s Moroccan spray tans are perfect for giving your skin the extra nourishment it needs to stay healthy all winter long.<\/p>\n
