5 Ways to Prevent Makeup Breakdown in Cold Outdoors and Dry Indoors

With the ongoing cold wind and chilly weather outside and dryness indoors, even the little moisture in the skin can be easily stripped away. This can make it challenging to maintain flawless makeup.

Proper winter skincare and makeup application can prevent makeup from cracking or flaking.

Here are five ways to keep your makeup intact!

1️⃣ Exfoliate 1-2 times a week with a scrub
Regularly removing dead skin cells ensures that skincare products are absorbed better. For dry skin, a lotion-type scrub is recommended, and for oily skin, open pores with a steam towel before exfoliation.

2️⃣ Ensure proper absorption of base makeup
Before applying makeup, use a toner pack for about 10 minutes to help the skin absorb it well. Then, gently massage in essences and lotions for better absorption.

3️⃣ Use functional cosmetics in the evening
Skin cells absorb nutrients best between 10 PM and 2 AM, so use functional cosmetics in the evening to strengthen the skin barrier.

4️⃣ Hydrate with mist before touch-ups
When doing a touch-up after going out, hydrate your skin with a mist before retouching the foundation.

5️⃣ Use touch-up pads
Carry individually packed portable cleansing pads when going out or traveling for easy makeup touch-ups anytime, anywhere.
