Our Favorite Products for Dry, Sensitive Winter Skin

Maintaining healthy, luminous skin in the throes of winter can seem elusive to many women. Exposure to harsh winds, biting cold, and exuberant indoor heating can leave your skin dry, flaky, and extra sensitive.  Dr. Devgan’s medical grade skin-care products provide a regular skincare regimen that will help your skin look radiant and healthy all year long. These are our top recommendations for hydrating, soothing, and protecting winter skin.

Preventing

Dr. Devgan’s unique Platinum Revitalizing Cleanser provides the foundation for healthy skin by preventing the buildup of oil and dirt, cleansing and invigorating skin, hydrating against the elements, and protecting against aging.  Using this face wash morning and evening creates a clean and protective base upon which to fortify skin to “battle the elements.”  Formulated by Dr. Devgan, this gentle daily cleanser contains a rich, anti-aging peptide complex with 11 botanical essential oils while hydrating the skin with essential anti-aging nutrients including Vitamins C & E.

Using a gentle cleanser in winter months (and really, year round) is an excellent way to rid the skin of impurities without making it dry and red.  Apply Platinum Revitalizing Cleanser over a wet face and work into a lather. Rinse with water and then pat dry. Use twice daily or as directed by a physician. An excellent cleanser ensures that your face is clean, free of impurities, and refreshed in the morning and before bed.

Protecting

In the winter, the sun does not hibernate -- nor do its UV rays.  Therefore, wearing sunscreen all year long is essential. Dr. Devgan’s Platinum SPF 45 Daily Tinted BB Cream not only protects the face from the sun, but also provides light daily coverage that matches any skin tone and gives a smooth, glowy finish. Platinum SPF 45 Daily Tinted BB Cream contains titanium, which has been scientifically proven to be the most effective physical sunscreen block in existence. Also, it contains the market’s most effective photostabilizer to significantly enhance broad spectrum sunscreen protection against UVA and UVB rays linked to sunburn and premature aging.

Apply to the face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Wait at least 30 minutes prior to sun exposure or as directed by physician. Reapply after prolonged physical activity, swimming or perspiring. This is an essential step for post-cleansed skin to provide light, natural coverage and ensure the skin is protected from the sun’s harmful rays. We suggest shying away from heavy, drying, full coverage foundations for daily use, as they can look flaky and cakey around dry areas of the skin and can go on the skin unevenly.

Replenishing

Replenishing your skin is essential to maintaining a healthy complexion. Dr. Devgan’s Platinum Hyaluronic Serum stimulates collagen and elastin production in order to replenish the properties the skin loses naturally. The serum contains hyaluronic acid, the substance found in dermal fillers like Juvederm and Restylane, and uses this to resurface and improve the quality of aging skin. 

Apply 4 to 5 drops onto fingers and smooth over face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Allow the product to absorb before applying additional products. The serum can be used twice a day or as tolerated. Replenishing the skin after cleansing the skin before applying makeup in the morning or before going to bed at night is vital to maintaining a luminous complexion.

Extra Replenishing (Especially After Treatments)

Winter weather challenges our skin but the most effective skin care interventions (including retinols, peels, lasers, and microneedling) can cause sensitivity, too, as the skin acclimates to them. Whatever the case may be, Platinum Recovery Cream is specifically designed to be used with medical-grade skin care to soothe, calm, and repair the skin.

Indulging in a skin intervention shouldn't mean you should have to compromise healthy, moisturized skin. This serum reduces inflammation by down-regulating signalling molecules including COX2, IL-1a, and IL-8.  Additionally, Platinum Recovery Cream helps restore the skin’s barrier function with concentrated coconut extract rich in Medium Chain Triglycerides. These ingredients ensure your skins stays hydrated and supple all season long.

Apply a generous amount to soothe irritated skin as needed. Allow to absorb before applying additional products. This serum can be used twice per day or as needed to soothe irritation. Regularly using an emollient moisturizer ensures that your skin doesn’t get dry or irritated from treatments/or outdoor elements.

While skin care routines may differ for each individual, Dr. Devgan’s wide variety of products can be tailored to fit into your beauty routine perfectly and give your winter worn skin a complete transformation.
