Remove dead skin cells
Dead skin cells accumulate on the epidermis and block the path of skincare products, and, on top of that, they can make the skin look dull and tired. Exfoliation is recommended once or at most twice a week. It aims to remove dead skin cells, stimulate skin renewal and increase the effect of your care routine. It can instantly revitalise your skin and make it look healthier and more youthful. Special attention should be paid to the choice of the appropriate exfoliant, which should not be too rough, as that can cause skin damage and reactions. The intensity of the exfoliant should, of course, be adapted to the skin area; the skin on the face is very thin and delicate, which calls for a gentle scrub, whereas the skin on the rest of the body is a little thicker, so sugar crystal-based scrubs can also be used.
Ensure appropriate moisturising care
Moisture is essential during all seasons and winter is no exception. Our skin needs plenty of moisturising care to maintain a healthy skin barrier and to effectively avoid the negative effects of heating, which are impossible to escape during the colder months. Immediately after cleansing, make sure to thoroughly hydrate your skin - you can repeat the application as needed. When it comes to the texture and application of products, the rule of thumb is to apply light moisturising textures with small molecules first and then build up towards products with larger molecules (oils, richer creams). There is generally never too much moisture, but it’s important that the products are mutually compatible. At Hemptouch, we offer two ideal pairs for hydration: Moisturising Bright Essence + Nurturing Face Cream and Moisturising Bright Essence + Balancing Face Cream.
