Spending Christmas in China means dealing with cold winter air, indoor heating, and potentially dry skin, so I like to keep my skincare routine focused on hydration, barrier support, and protection.
Start with a mild, hydrating cleanser to remove impurities without leaving your skin feeling tight or stripped.
1. Skin Cleanser
Add a lightweight layer of hydration to help soothe and prep your skin for the rest of your routine.
2. hydrating toner
Go for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, ceramides, or panthenol to help your skin stay plump and comfortable in the cold weather.
3. Hydrating serum
Use a richer moisturizer to lock in hydration and protect your skin barrier from dry winter air and indoor heating.
4. Nourishing Moisturizer
Cold weather can make lips dry very quickly, so keep a nourishing lip balm with you throughout the day.
5. Lip Balm
Even during winter, SPF is still an essential step. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen before heading outside, especially if you’ll be spending the day exploring.
