Moisturising Tips: How to Prevent Dry Skin in Winter

Dreading the cold and dryness of winter is an inevitable part of life. That’s why getting the right skincare products is crucial in helping us survive the cold (and combat dry, itchy, sensitive skin)!

Here are four must-have products you need to get your hands on to prepare for this winter.

SNP Ampoule masks

With six other variations you can try, including the Gold Collagen, Charcoal mineral, Black Peral, Diamond Brightening and Mayu, we recommend SNP’s highest-selling mask, the Bird’s Nest Aqua Ampoule mask. It is an extremely nourishing ingredient for dry skin as it contains edible-nest swiftlet extract for intense moisturizing and skin protection for exterior barriers.

One key component of this extract is that it contains sialicacid, a substance that reinforces hydration and promotes synthesis of collagen. As the skin ages naturally, swiflet nest extract normalizes turn-over cycle and prevents skin form water loss.

Shangpree Sparkling Facial Masks

Besides moisturising, this facial mask from Shangpree has a cleansing effect too. The sparkling bubbles of the masks resurface your skin as it gently sloughs away dead skin to boost skin’s vitality; whereas the charcoal draws out pore-clogging impurities and excess oil, leaving skin refreshed and renewed. Moreover, the product contains blackberry, which is rich in antioxidants, and helps hydrate and rejuvenate skin for a healthier and more youthful look.

On top of being a detox therapy, this mask is a fun experience – it’s like giving your face a bubble bath!

COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence

Most users are initially hesitant in putting snail mucin on their face, but tests have proven that it protects your skin from harmful external environments.

It is enriched with 96.3% skin boosting ingredient snail secretion filtrate to deliver rich nourishment. Coupled with quick absorption and 1,000ppm of sodium hyaluronate, the essence can hydrate the skin, leaving it healthy and glowing.

HOW TO:

1. After cleansing and toning, apply a small amount on face.
2. Gently pat to aid absorption.

Medi-Peel Suncream Series

Even during winter, it is highly important to protect ourselves from the Sun, and plan for the sunny days ahead. Medi-Peel’s SPF 50+ PA+++ sunscreen can effectively form translucent skin and block the damage caused by ultraviolet rays. It is certainly a friend for you and me!
