- protect - use a good moisturizer on windy days. night cremes tend to have a little more moisture to them which gives you extra protection from the elements. on windy days try using your night creme instead of your day cream. *if your day cream has spf and you use your night creme make sure you use some type of sunscreen to replace your normal on. or layer your night creme over your standard day creme.* and lastly use a lip protector to help keep your lips from chapping.
- hydrate - wind can rob your skin of precious moisture through evaporation, so be sure to drink extra water on windy days. this does not mean extra caffeinated or alcoholic beverages...these too dehydrate you.
- cleanse - with the wind whipping around extra dirt, dust, and pretty much anything from trees and flowers around in the air you skin will need an extra good cleansing before bed. i recommend to all my clients to wash 2 times at night. this applies to windy days as well...double cleanse but be sure to take some extra time during the cleansing phase to allow your cleansing product the time it needs to clean your pours. count an extra 30 seconds when cleansing each time and that should do the trick.
Always protect your skin at night with a good night time creme especially after a day of being out in the wind.
Hope you enjoy my tips and find them easy and useful!
