It’s almost Christmas and then it will be the New Year and you are literally entering the ‘party season’ – you are going to be in and out of family gatherings, office parties and of course, dinners with friends. You need your skin and hair to look great because you are going to be in so many pictures and videos, many of which might end up on social media.
But more than that, it is the winters – it is that time of the year, when the winds are the harshest and they will batter your skin and hair.
At indē wild, we know how much you love your skin and hair, but we also understand that you often don’t have the time to indulge in a long-winded routine to nourish your skin and hair. That is why, we have curated for your, a simple yet effective skincare ritual that combines hydration, nourishment, and protection.
A holiday skincare routine that your skin and hair will love!
The festive season is the perfect time to treat your skin and hair with some extra love and with indē wild, your holiday wellness routine will be so much simpler.
- A clean slate – You need to give yourself a clean slate, which means that your skin and hair need to be clean. Begin your day with a mild cleanser to remove impurities, excess oil, and any residual makeup. Cleansing sets the foundation for your skincare routine by ensuring your skin is clean and prepped for maximum product absorption. Consider a cleanser that complements your skin type to maintain its natural balance. With your hair, a weekly once or twice wash is more than enough, because washing your hair too many times, will strip it of its natural oils.
- Hydration is key – During the winters, the cold air can make your skin feel super dry, and that is why an extra dose of moisture is essential. Your skincare for festive season needs to have something like our AM Sunrise Glow Serum, which is enriched with Vitamin C and hyaluronic acid, making it a powerhouse for hydration and brightening. The serum has been designed to target dullness and uneven skin tone while delivering a boost of antioxidants to give your skin that radiance that you want during the festive season.
- Perfect pout - Don’t forget your lips! The cold winter air can cause chapping and if you constantly lick your lips, it is only going to get worse. Keep a tube of Dewy Lip Treatment handy at all times, because it can provide your lips with hydration and that naturally plumped look. This lip treatment works as both a lip balm and a primer, preparing your lips for holiday-ready makeup looks. Or how about applying it after your lip colour for that ultimate gloss?
- Slay with sun protection – Just because it is the winters and the sun isn’t visible all the time, does not mean that your skin does not need sun protection. Even in winters, sunscreen is non-negotiable and our Sunscreen Glow Drops with SPF 50+ provides you that broad-spectrum protection that your skin needs. The lightweight sunscreen can also act as a primer, giving you the perfect base for makeup, making this a must have in your winter skincare essentials.
- End the day right – As you wind down the day, you need to make sure that you cleanse your skin and remove all traces of product and dirt. After that, you need to use a product that will nourish, nurture and rejuvenate your skin. Our PM Moonlight Glow Serum has Bakuchiol, a natural alternative to retinol, and plant-based AHAs that gently repair skin overnight. Regular use of this serum can improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
- Love for the luscious locks too – Like we mentioned before, it is not just your skin that takes a beating during the winters, but your hair too. Every Sunday, make it a ritual to give your hair some deep nourishment, by way of a Champi session. Warm some Champi hair oil and then gently massage it into your scalp and hair. The blend of natural oils and herbs offers deep nourishment, while the massage will improve blood circulation and help improve hair growth. We suggest that you pair it with the Moonlight Scalp Serum for added hydration and repair, every three days, because from a healthy scalp grows healthy hair!
Now these were the products that we suggest that you incorporate into your skin and hair care routine for the winters, but there is more to be done.
- Hydration from within – Good skin and hair is not just about what you apply on it, good skin and hair health comes from within. Staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water and eating fresh fruits and vegetables is crucial. Moreover, during the holidays, you will overeat and perhaps not eat as healthy as you should, which is why you need to make that extra effort.
- Beind mindful - Festive seasons can be stressful, but incorporating mindfulness into your routine helps maintain overall wellness. Try meditation, yoga, or even a simple gratitude practice to keep your body and mind aligned. Healthy sleep patterns also play a significant role in skin health, so aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep every night.
- Happiness from within – When you are happy, it will show! The festive season is a time for joy and fun, and if you really enjoy it, it will show on your skin and hair!
With a little help from indē wild, you can get your skin and hair festive ready and more importantly, winter prepared!
