Winters often lead to parched and dry skin if not moisturised properly. However, your skin may need more than lightweight moisturising as it does in summers. Ayur Herbals introduces to you its range of winter moisturisers: from cold cream to cocoa butter, these creams and lotions are just what your skin needs this winter!

1.    Herbal All Purpose Cream with Aloe Vera: With the presence of aloe vera, rose extracts and almond oil, this cream is an all-purpose solution. Aloe vera extracts work to produce and release collagen, promoting the skin’s elasticity and smoothness. The antioxidants present in aloe vera also help reverse damage caused by the sun i.e. remove sun tan and sun burn. The rose extracts in this cream are aimed to balance the skin’s pH level. They work as a balancing scale to optimize the amount of oil the sebaceous glands produce. Almond oil works as an emollient, wherein it fills little gaps in the skin, smoothening it out. This cream can also be used on the lips.

2.    Herbal Cold Cream with Aloe Vera: Harsh climates and environmental stressors are known to strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to dehydration. This cold cream wards off this drying effect by creating a barrier on the skin’s surface that separates the skin from outside irritants. Consequently, moisture is locked into the skin, leaving it soft, supple, hydrated and above all, protected from moisture loss. This barrier-lock-in method is how cold creams provide deeper moisturisation than regular moisturisers. This cold cream can dissolve dead cells and encourage cell renewal, thus, imparting a glow on the skin over long term usage.

3.    Cocoa Butter Body Care Lotion: Cocoa butter is laden with antioxidants and nourishing acids, which enable it to fight against free radicals and hydrate skin while improving its elasticity respectively. It also has the potential to reduce the appearance of stretch marks and acne scars. Employing bioactive nutrients, cocoa butter can disarm inflammatory proteins to treat combination skin problems like eczema and psoriasis.

4.    Skin Care Moisturising Lotion (Shea and Olive Butter): Shea butter prevents skin from becoming greasy and oily as the linoleic acid and oleic acid in it balance each other out. It absorbs automatically, rejuvenates skin, removes dullness and dryness, does not clog pores and balances out the oil in your skin. Olive butter is easily absorbable - providing nourishment to the skin while allowing it to breathe. Its anti-oxidant and vitamin content - namely, vitamins A, D, E and K - help prevent premature ageing. Thus, it improves skin elasticity and tone, leading to more youthful looking skin.

 
5.    Almond Nourishing Cream: Being highly emollient, almond oil helps balance the moisture retention and withdrawal within skin - for dry skin during winters, it would increase moisturisation. The omega-3 fatty acids in almond oil hold up the skin barrier by hydrating optimally. Dry skin is more prone to Eczema and Psoriasis. Almond oil can prevent these conditions via its emollient nature and strong-barriered hydrated skin!

Say hello to supple skin even during winters: happy moisturising!
