Summary:

Face washes that can be used in winter should be gentle on the skin and not remove moisture and essential oils from it.  Read More


Winters may still be a long time from now but it never hurts to know more and prepare well for the tough winter months ahead, particularly in the northern and the Himalayan regions of the country. Cold winter winds can easily rob your skin of moisture leading to dry and flaky skin. Cold temperatures and low humidity also see loss of essential oils from your skin along with moisture loss as your natural skin barrier comes under strain. Hence, it is essential to ensure that the face wash one uses, not only retains the moisture, but also does not strip away its natural oils.

Hence, unlike summers when gel-based face washes work best, one must opt for milk- and cream-based face washes in winters. Not only do they lock in moisture in the skin, they also nourish it and replenish oil content in the skin. While summer season sees a rush of gel-based face washes, if you have dry skin, cream- and milk-based face washes could be your best bet all year round.

Since gel-based face washes predominate now, we have done a deep dive into Amazon and found ideal winter face washes, especially for you. Do take a look.

It wouldn't be wrong to call this a milk wash, instead of a face wash. Milk is a natural cleanser, which deeply cleanses the skin without being harsh on it. It removes dirt and impurities while nourishing the skin to give it a healthy glow. This cream-based face wash also contains saffron which helps in cleansing and brightening the skin. Saffron unclogs pores, removes impurities like dirt, dust and sweat. It also reduces pigmentation and stimulates collagen production to brighten your skin.

Blessed with the goodness of vitamin C and Turmeric, this product brightens the complexion while promoting collagen synthesis to give your skin youthful suppleness.
