THE IDEAL WINTER SKINCARE ROUTINE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES


As we transition into winter, skin concerns begin to rise. If you don’t have a well-working routine, now is the time to create one. One of the main concerns during this time of the year is dryness. While some areas of the body are brimming with oil glands, other areas may require extra care. Fundamentals Skincare, a leading affordable and quality skincare company in South Africa, today announces its new  5% Jojoba Oil (cream cleanser) and it’s 5% Lactic Acid + 5% Mandelic Acid (gel cleanser) – which will be your heroes this winter season. 

Natasha Davel from Fundamentals Skincare explained that: “To establish a first line of defence against dryness and irritation, you want to make sure you start off using a gentle cleanser and end with a heavier moisturiser. Consider the below to take your winter skin care practices to the next level:”

  1. Oil cleanse. Oil cleansing is one of the best ways to break down product build-up, impurities, and unnoticeable grime, all while balancing out the skin’s natural lipids. Most oil cleansers double as a moisturiser and keeps the skin nourished for extended periods of time. With powerhouse ingredients in the Grape Seed Oil Cleanser such as: 58% Grape Seed Oil and 10% Avocado Oil you will love it as it’s great for dry and sensitive skin types. 

  2. Gel cleanse. If you have an oily or combination skin type, you might want to stay away from the oil cleansers. Opt for a gentler and more exfoliating cleanser. Look for ingredients like Mandelic Acid which is a type of gentle alpha hydroxy acid (AHA). It may help reduce acne, fine lines, and wrinkles and improve the appearance of uneven skin. As a person ages, skin renewal slows down, causing the skin to lose elasticity, discolour, and develop fine lines and wrinkles. Lactic Acid is also a hero ingredient that is helpful for smoothing and softening skin texture. Products containing this exfoliating ingredient can be suitable for oily, combination skin types because it is one of the gentlest alpha-hydroxy acids, and it offers hydrating benefits as well.

  3. Cream Cleanser. Cream cleansers are a go-to for Winter skincare routines because they generally promote a soft texture to calm and hydrate the skin. Cream cleansers gently cleanse using natural oils and emulsifiers to soothe, and they’re best for those with sensitive and dry skin .Today, you will be able to shop the brand new 5% Jojoba Cream Cleanser from Fundamentals Skincare which is great for dry, sensitive and combination skin types.

“The first step really is locking down the perfect cleanser for the winter season. By choosing the correct one for your specific skin type, you will help clean and exfoliate your skin, removing excess and shedding skin while also protecting your skin barrier, making it stronger to withstand the intense weather conditions,” added Davel.

  

Once you have cleaners down, the next step is to moisturise. This applies to both face and body. Simply put, it’s the last step you do in any routine. Finding a good moisturiser that will provide a substantial amount of moisture support, while simultaneously treating the skin, can make a difference in skin health and functionality. Look for peptides, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid to help strengthen and perk up the collagen.
