Take note of any changes, whether they be textural or visible dark circles, and adjust your makeup routine accordingly. Don’t be afraid to spot treat for problems other than acne. Many women assume that products with skincare benefits are good for all over the skin but if you apply a heavy moisturizer to an area that doesn’t need it, you may end up with more problems. Learn your skin before you treat it and remember your environment. It’s not just temperature and wind that can damage your skin, humidity and indoor heating can be key factors in identifying and treating your winter skin problems.
Chapped lips and rough patches are common winter skin ailments and can be treated separately from the rest of your skin. Moisture is key when applying makeup in the winter but moisturizers and foundations don’t always mix. Applying an incompatible foundation over your moisturizer can result in the product pulling away from the skin, not applying evenly, or even not applying at all. Alter your skincare routine at night to include a heavier night cream and find a primer that boasts moisturizing properties. This way, you’ll maintain the moisture level in your skin without ending up with uneven foundation. In the morning, look for a primer or BB cream that has SPF and moisturizing benefits that is both beneficial to your skin as well as conducive to even foundation application.
