Top 10 Skincare Essentials to Grab this Winter: A Guide for All Skin Types
Winter is around the corner, and a sudden drop in temperature calls for a cup of hot cocoa fluffy blankets and a replenishing skincare routine that will keep your skin super soft and hydrated. Skincare is essential to your daily routine and should be taken seriously, especially in the chilly season. Winters can be very harsh on all skin types.
Esajee’s presents a 10-step guide with the best skincare products in Pakistan to replenish your skin this winter season and dodge dry and dull skin for a glowy and radiant look. In this blog, we’ll walk you through a 10-step winter skincare routine and essentials that are a must-have for all skin types, ensuring your skin stays soft, glowy, and moisturized.
A 10-Step Skincare Guide for Hydrated Skin This Winter Season
Step 1: Exfoliator
Your skincare routine should commence with a mild exfoliator, even in winter. A good exfoliation rids your skin of dead skin cells, and excess oil, reducing the chances of breakouts. The best exfoliator for sensitive skin is the Vince Apricot Scrub Gentle Exfoliator, a product that is trusted by many and is very gentle on your skin. If you have a normal skin type then Neutrogena Refreshingly Clear Daily Exfoliator is suitable as it helps remove impurities and dead skin cells without irritating your skin. Esajee’s has a wide variety of exfoliators just for you, so shop online from our website or your nearest Esajee’s branch and elevate your skincare routine.
Step 2: Cleanser
In winter, you need mild cleansers that do not dry your skin out, cleanse deeply, and leave your skin moisturized. Choose a cleanser according to your skin type or consult with a professional before purchasing any skincare products, may it be commercial or medicated. At Esajee’s, we provide a wide variety of international and local skincare brands, that are trusted by many worldwide. If you have a dry skin type, then Cerave Hydrating Facial Cleanser is a hydrating cleanser that will leave your skin hydrated. If you have an oily skin type, then Clean And Clear Deep Action Daily Pore Cleanser can be your preferred cleanser. For combination skin, a cetaphil daily facial cleanser will do the trick.
Damp your face with warm water pour 1 to 2 pumps of cleanser on your palm and gently massage your face until foamy. Wash with warm water and leave it to dry. The use of a towel on the skin after exfoliation and cleansing is not suggested as it might irritate the skin. To find out which cleanser suits your skin best, check out our online store and get your favorite cleanser delivered to your doorstep!
Step 3: Face Mist
After your exfoliation and cleansing, a quick hydration fix calls for a good face mist. It not only refreshes your skin but gives it instant hydration after exfoliation and cleansing. Face mists are known to plump your skin and reduce fine lines. Face mists also prep your skin for better moisture absorption. Even though these mists are available with multiple formulas, stay away from the ones that have oils in them especially if your skin is prone to breakouts.
Instead, resort to natural mists like Co Natural Rose Water that won't only prep your skin for moisture lockin but will leave a sweet rosy scent. If you want a boost of glow after cleansing, then we suggest you try out Saeed Ghani Vitamin C + Rose Water or if you want a radiant touch to your skin, then try out Saeed Ghani Aloe Vera with Rose Water. At Esajee’s, we have a wide range of organic mists that will give your skin the glow it needs this winter season.
Step 4: Toner
Toner is a crucial step of your winter skincare routine. Toner is specifically formulated to balance the pH level of your skin and minimize the appearance of your pores. Regardless of your skin type, always ensure to use an alcohol-free toner to reduce the chances of skin irritation. If you have oil-prone skin, then use toners that contain ingredients like astringent and green tea. Such toners also work best for combination skin types. St.Ives Clear Skin 3 in 1 Daily toner consists of tea tree and witch hazel that work wonders for all skin types. For dry skin, No7 Radiant Results Revitalizing Toner Water is a literal game changer. Containing No7's own Tri-White Complex, Vitamin C, E, B5, and red ginseng, one can never go wrong with this product as it provides optimal hydration and minimizes the appearance of pores.
If you have sensitive skin, avoid AHA, and BHA in your toners and opt for those that contain rose water, witch hazel, and aloe vera. Reborn Beauty Soothing Facial Toner contains rose water extracts that are great for sensitive skin. The Body Shop Aloe Calming Toner also works wonders on sensitive skin due to aloe vera's healing properties. Damp your cotton pad with a few drops of toner and gently apply on your face and neck. Leave it for a few seconds until your face has dried and then proceed towards the next step.
Step 5: Serum
An essential step in your winter skincare routine comprises serum, which contains active ingredients in concentrated forms that penetrate and work on specific skin concerns. However, the potency level of serums is higher than any moisturizer. Hence, should be used carefully. Serum-infused skincare products available at Esajee’s online website contain moisturizers, serum sheet masks, and serum oils. Apply a few drops to your face and gently massage it into the skin, don't forget to apply on your neck.

Step 6: Moisturizer
Even though moisturizer is an essential skincare step throughout the year, it should be taken even more seriously during the winter. Moisturizer reverses skin damage, protects moisture barrier, and rejuvenates damaged skin cells. Moisturizers keep your skin soft, plump, and healthy during the harsh winter. When looking for moisturizers in the winter, look for creamy and rich consistency formulas that nourish your skin by maintaining hydration for longer periods.
Winters can be quite harsh on sensitive skin, Nivea Soft Face Cream can work wonders by protecting your skin from itchiness and dryness. Glysolid Ultra Hydrating Glycerin Face Cream is the perfect way to moisturize your skin and prevent darkness caused by damaged skin cells. Check out a wide range of skincare at our moisturizer section on Esajee’s official website. Apply a generous amount of moisturizer on your face and gently massage your face and neck until fully absorbed. You can also do more than one layer of moisturizer based on your skin requirements.
Step 7: Sunscreen
Just because it's cold outside doesn't mean that the winter sun can’t damage your skin. Sunscreen should be important in your skincare routine regardless of the season. Always follow your winter face cream with good sunscreen that doesn't leave a white cast. A good sunscreen prevents skin damage and prevents anti-aging. Purchase an SPF of 30 like the Banana Boat Ultra Protect Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30, SPF 60 Aveeno Protect & Hydrate Sunscreen Body Lotion - SPF 60, or the SPF 50 Clinique Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen Fluid depending on your exposure to the sun, and apply it on your skin at least 15-20 minutes before stepping out.
As per the rule of thumb, use 2 finger lengths of SPF and apply on your face, ears, and neck. Massage gently until completely absorbed.
Step 8: Eye Cream
Did you know that your under eyes contain the most sensitive skin compared to other facial regions? Which calls for extra protection during the winter season. So it's best to incorporate a good eye cream in your night skincare routine to maintain the elasticity of your undereye skin. Esajee’s comes with a wide range of eye creams for all skin types. Check out our exclusive eye cream range available on our website.
Step 9: Lip Balm
We can not skip lip balm this chilly season as lips get chapped due to the harsh winters. Apply a generous amount of lip balm throughout the day to keep the moisture locked in. This will prevent your lips from getting chapped. Pamper your lips with the amazing Vaseline Lip Therapy Creme Brulee Lip Balm which has a long-lasting scent that keeps your lips hydrating and sleeping like creme brulee all day.

Step 10: Hand Cream
The skin on our hands is exposed to cold temperatures in the winter, causing discoloration and dryness. It is important to keep our hands moisturized throughout the day. A good quality hand cream will help balance the moisture and softness of your skin. Invest in a rich hand and foot cream this winter to keep them soft, moisturized, and rejuvenated.
