There are many tips on staying warm, avoiding colds and flu, maintaining fitness. We all know that winter brings with it a host of health issues. One that can be among the most challenging – keeping skin hydrated and healthy.

Between the outside cold, dry heated air inside, and other factors, your skin needs some extra love to keep it looking dewy and soft. Here are our 6 steps you can take today to get your glow on.

1. Moisturise

Obviously you know that you need to slather on moisturiser year-round, but it’s especially important when temperatures drop. We can recommend you to use SSANAI all in one lotion.

This is all-in-one hydrating lotion that moisturises, repairs, and improves the look and feel of your skin. Its non-sticky, light and refreshing formula easily absorbs into skin. Its scent consists of musk and a sandalwood base with bergamot, mandarin and green tea. Don’t forget to use a face mask once a week!

2. Strategies showers

Though it’s tempting to step into a steamy shower and stay there, too much hot water can dry out your skin by removing the protective oils it produces. Keep the water on the temperate side, and step out after a few minutes.

3. Drink lots of water

This is always good advice, but it’s especially important during the winter when it may not be on top of your mind. Along with boosting immunity, regulating body temperature, aiding digestion and more, keeping that water bottle filled in the winter can help skin stay hydrated from the inside out. For this we can recommend you the Bennkai collapsible water bottle.

This bottle will save space in your bag and money as you don’t have to buy water anymore! If you decide to get our Gay Pack then use the coupon code: COLLWATBOT and we’ll add this bottle (value of $20) to your first order for free!

Pro tip: Eating hydrating foods also helps.

4. Plug in a humidifier

By adding moisture back to dry, heated air indoors, a humidifier can help keep your skin looking and feeling beautiful and healthy. Bonus: It’s tougher for viruses to travel through moist air, so a humidifier may help keep you well all winter.

5. Exfoliate (…gently)

Sloughing off dull, dead skin cells and stimulating growth of new cells can help keep you looking fresh and fabulous. Be sure to use products with natural ingredients like this Body Coffee Body Scrub Coconut Affair:

Please avoid harsh chemical scrubs and peels that can cause swelling and redness.

5. Use a facial tan mist

Who doesn’t like getting a compliment? You look so great! I like your face skin. You are so tanned. Did you have a vacation? We recommend you to try a hydrating gradual tan facial mist infused with soothing rosewater from MINE Tan.Body.Skin. We have a great news for you! You can get this amazing product this month in your Out’n’Proud Gay Pack.

This product is very easy to use – you need to use it daily to build or maintain your existing self tan:

2. Spray it evenly keeping nozzle at least 15cm /6” away from skin
3. Allow a few minutes to dry before applying skincare

Hope this tips help you look fresh this winter!
