Let’s be honest, following skin care routine in winters can be a little difficult. We just want to sit in our warm blankets and sip that hot chocolate rather than apply cold sheet masks. And isn’t it ok to miss a few steps of your skin routine, right? Well sadly for some the answer is a no. While many of us apply moisturizers and serums and want our skin to glow well we are sorry to break your bubble, that is not going to happen. In winters skin care is equally important as other weathers if not more. And like other seasons the one step you cannot afford to miss is applying a sunscreen.
We have read about this so often that sunscreen is one the product that you need year-round. No sun doesn’t mean no sunscreen, Skin protection from the sun’s rays is needed, as they can cause sunburn, premature ageing, and even skin cancer. The skincare product, which comes in the form of lotions, creams, sprays, gels, and more, works by absorbing, reflecting, or scattering UV rays, reducing their impact on your skin.
Why do you need sunscreen in winters?
-
Protection against UV rays: Even during winter, the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays can still reach your skin. UVB rays can cause sunburn and skin damage, while UVA rays can penetrate deep into the skin, leading to premature aging and an increased risk of skin cancer.
-
Slows down ageing: Sun damage is a major contributor to premature ageing, including wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots.
- Reduces freckles: While many see freckles as the marks of beauty in reality these are spots caused by exposure to skin.
Which sunscreen will suit my skin?
-
Oily Skin – if you have oily skin, we are sure, after applying layers of moisturisers and serums adding a sunscreen would mean bringing you closer to clogged pores. But we have a solution. Aroma Magic aloe vera sunscreen gel is the answer to your oily solutions. For those you sweat after applying sunscreen, but aloe vera sunscreen gel is made with skin friendly Wheatgerm, Avocado and notes of Peppermint and Roman chamomile essential oils that not only provides protection from the sun but also reduces signs of ageing and fades scars.
-
Dry Skin – in case you are looking for a non-greasy sunscreen that not only creates a barrier between you and the sun but also repairs your dead skin cells then Aroma Magic Carrot sunscreen is your safest bet. Made carrot extracts, essential oils and vegetable glycerine this sunscreen moisturises, soothes, and protects your skin.
- Combination Skin – made with the extracts of Vitamins B5, C and E, Aroma Magic Cucumber Sunscreen is apt for those who are looking at hydration and something that can prevent excessive shine. The cucumber extracts cool down the skin that doesn’t lead to oil secretion and the oils in it nourishes the skin. Apply it generously on your face and body 15 minutes before sun exposure for desired protection. Use a moisturizer appropriate to your skin type before using the sunscreen lotion. This perfectly complements the daily makeup too.
The most effective way of protecting your skin from sun’s damage is applying sunscreen regularly rather daily. No matter which season you are enjoying add a little bit sunscreen to your day to have a glowing skin.
