The shift from cold winter air to heated indoor environments often leaves skin feeling dry and dull. If you're heading off on a winter sun holiday, proper preparation is key to ensuring your skin looks and feels its best.
Here's how to revitalise your skin and protect it under the winter sun.
During winter, exposure to colder outdoor air followed by dry, heated indoor spaces strips moisture from your skin. This process can leave it looking lacklustre and feeling tight. Without extra care, your skin may struggle to regain its natural glow.
The first step in winter skin preparation is hydration. Use a high-quality moisturizer to replenish lost moisture and help your skin retain it throughout the day.
Avoid products containing silicones, which create a superficial layer on your skin without addressing deeper hydration needs. Instead, opt for moisturizers made with natural, nutrient-rich ingredients. Natural Tone Rosehip Aloe lotion, for example, combines coconut oil to deeply hydrate with oils such as safflower, olive fruit, and grapeseed, which nourish and improve your skin’s texture.
Incorporate this step into your daily routine well before your holiday to restore your skin’s vitality and resilience.
Once you're enjoying your winter escape, sun protection remains critical. Many mistakenly believe that the lower intensity of UVB rays in winter reduces the need for sunscreen. However, UVA rays—responsible for skin ageing and long-term damage—are present year-round.
Invest in a broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen to shield your skin from both UVA and UVB radiation. For most winter destinations, a moderate SPF may suffice, but always err on the side of caution. Pack a range of SPF options to adapt to varying weather conditions, including cloudy days when UV exposure can still occur.
Prepping your skin for a winter sun holiday ensures a radiant, healthy appearance throughout your break. Start by hydrating with natural products and protecting your skin with effective sunscreen. These steps will help you make the most of your time in the sun without compromising your skin's health.
