It’s All About The Skin Prep
Good makeup starts with great skin, and how you prep your skin during the winter is the key to your products looking flawless. Celebrity makeup artist Dahlia Warner emphasized the importance of this step. “In the winter, having hydrating creams on hand is key for keeping your skin moisturized,” she explains, noting that this also applies to the rest of your body, especially the knees, hands, and elbows. “Choosing a nourishing cream can help immensely when wanting hydrated skin day and night.” Your skincare routine doesn’t need to be excessive; it just needs to combat concerns such as dryness and dehydration, which tend to happen more frequently in the winter.
Layering a facial essence with a hydrating serum and cream can help lock in moisture, as can exfoliating weekly to keep dead skin from flaking underneath makeup. Want to go the extra mile? Investing in a good humidifier can also make a huge difference in your skin.
