Finding relief for dry winter skin can be challenging. It is so important to keep your skin hydrated during these harsh weather months to prevent dry and chapped skin. In addition to drinking lots of water, there are some incredible TIZO products that will help keep your skin in great shape this winter.

Start every morning and nighttime routine off with TIZO Foaming Cleanser to gently cleanse your skin and prepare it for the other products in your regimen. This cleanser is pH balanced and is great for removing anything that has accumulated on your skin throughout the day or night without drying out or stripping the skin of essential oils. The key ingredients include niacinamide, taurine, glycerin, and cucumber extract. These ingredients help brighten and soften the skin. 

TIZO Environmental Skin Protectant is the best product for winter skin relief. Formulated with 3% dimethicone, bisabolol, and copper peptides, this product is specifically designed to create a light, silky barrier between your skin and any environmental conditions. It helps relieve chapped or cracked skin and protects from the drying effects of wind and cold weather – we are here for you, Chicago! So not only does it help soothe and repair dry, compromised skin, it works as a barrier to protect from future dryness. This is also a great product for use under your mask. By creating that barrier, it can really help with what has become known as “maskne.”

TIZO Renewable Moisturizer is a soothing, light-weight hydrator. The key ingredients include hyaluronic acid, bisabolol, and glycerin. As you know, hyaluronic acid is a superstar ingredient that helps replenish the skin’s moisturizing factor. Bisabolol soothes the skin, as it’s extracted from chamomile. Again, a great ingredient for tackling dry winter skin that needs a little extra love. What you’ll love about this product is that you can spritz a little bit of water or facial mist on your face, and the moisture in the product will renew itself, allowing you to boost the hydration of the product (and your skin) without having to reapply!

We talk about this a lot, but we must reiterate the importance of protecting your skin from damaging UVA and UVB rays, even in the winter. This means that you must wear a good broad spectrum sunscreen even when everything outside is dim and cold. Thankfully, we have a hydrating mineral sunscreen that keeps you moisturized and protected. TIZO Ultra Zinc SPF 40 features 20% zinc oxide, which helps calm and soothe even the most sensitive skin. It also has a beautiful dewy finish that will keep your skin looking super hydrated all winter long. Pro tip: this sunscreen is also great for use after a chemical peel!

Now’s a great time to get going on your New Year’s Resolution. Why not make it to take great care of your skin this year, starting with battling against one of the toughest seasons on the skin: winter. And don’t worry; we are here for you for all your winter – and spring, and summer, and fall – skincare needs!

UVA Rays Penetrate Glass & Clouds

Unlike UVB rays which are much stronger during the summer months, UVA rays are present and strong all year around. And no matter the season, UVA Rays (aging rays) penetrate glass and clouds. So, whether you’re driving in your car, sitting in your office, or taking a walk outside you will want to protect your skin from these damaging rays that cause fine lines and wrinkles. You’ll want to make sure you use a sunscreen that is broad spectrum, which indicates that it protects from both UVB and UVA rays. TIZO Sheer Botanicals SPF 45 is a fantastic non-tinted product with a high SPF to protect you all year around. It’s great for both the face and the body and has a demi-matte finish that anybody can wear comfortably. 

Decrease Risk of Skin Cancer

An alarming 1 in 5 Americans will be diagnosed with skin cancer by the age of 70. And just because 70 may seem so far away, doesn’t mean that that statistic isn’t cause for concern. Especially when you consider that having 5 or more sunburns doubles your risk of getting skin cancer. In fact, more people are diagnosed with skin cancer each year than every other cancer combined. The best way to protect yourself is by wearing a great sunscreen daily, all year around. There are many factors to a great sunscreen: SPF value, being broad spectrum, and being a delight to wear. That’s why we suggest TIZO3 SPF 40. It’s tinted and feels and acts as a makeup primer. It makes wearing sunscreen everyday so easy and an absolute delight. 

The Sun Is Still Shining

Even though it is technically Fall now, the sun doesn’t know that! It is still shining bright and emitting those strong UVA and UVB rays. It is so important to continue to get outside in the fresh air this season. Taking a long walk is great for your mental and physical health, and if you’re in the northeast like us, that crisp air just breathes life into the season. If the air is a little drier and crisper where you’re at, TIZO AM Replenish SPF 40 is incredible for retaining your skin’s natural moisture. It’s that perfect transition sunscreen from Summer to Fall. 

After countless requests from our customers, TIZO Eye Renewal is now available! Your eyes are the focal point of your face and they deserve every bit of attention you can give them. Unfortunately, they are often neglected and commonly missed when applying a daily SPF. With an SPF 20, TIZO Eye Renewal is the first line of defense for this crucial area of your face. Even those who use sunscreen regularly can be timid near the delicate skin around their eyes and end up brushing past them. TIZO Eye Renewal contains 9% gentle zinc oxide, making it fantastic for this area of sensitive skin, protecting against both UVA and UVB rays.  This product is also safe to apply under, above and around the eye area.

I use sunscreen every day and apply it beneath my eyes, how is this different?

TIZO Eye Renewal is packed with ingredients that make it easy to care for and protect your skin. This formula is designed to boost your skin’s collagen and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with the help of a multi-peptide complex. Multi-peptides also help reduce inflammation, so this eye cream is a must-have for those with puffy eyes. TIZO Eye Renewal also includes a botanical blend of caffeine reactive, algae extract and Sambucus Negri flower extract to help firm and smooth skin around the eye area. The addition of selenium ferment provides antioxidant benefits, helping to neutralize free radicals before they can lead to wrinkles.  Like all TIZO mineral protection products, this formula is free of chemical sunscreen filters, dyes, fragrances, preservatives, phthalates and parabens so it won’t irritate this extra-sensitive area.

With TIZO Eye Renewal you can expect a high-quality product with the luxurious feeling and benefits that come along with all your other TIZO products. This silky-smooth eye cream spreads easily, feels smooth to the touch, and won’t interfere with your makeup. It comes in an easy to use pump so you can use every last drop.  The eye area ages faster than the rest of the skin on your face, so it’s never too early to begin protecting and caring for it. With the power of physical sunscreen blockers and anti-aging ingredients, TIZO Eye Renewal is the perfect complement to your skin care routine when it comes to sun protection and anti-aging action.

A hot summer already takes a major toll on your skin with heat rash, sweat, and bug bites, but this summer has presented us with another challenge that nobody was expecting. Enter another external force that has been added to your list of things that can irritate your skin: your mask. If you are one of the many people wearing a mask every time you leave your house, you may have noticed that it has resulted in what has been dubbed “maskne.”

Maskne is the buildup of acne and dead skin as a result of increased irritation around the nose and mouth. When you wear a mask all day, hot breath and sweat are trapped against your face. Additional rubbing from the mask further irritates the skin and eventually leads to acne. For some, maskne isn’t new. Medical professionals who are used to wearing a mask for extensive hours or even athletes who compete with protective headgear have long been exposed to maskne.

However, many of us are new to wearing a mask and the side effects that come along with wearing them. We want to do the right thing and wear a mask out in public, but our skin shouldn’t need to suffer for it. Washing your face periodically throughout the day is a great way to cleanse your pores and remove some of the sweat, dirt, and oil trapped underneath your mask. This is the best way to prevent acne from forming. Another option is to bring along cleansing wipes or blotting sheets to try absorbing some of the oil on your skin.

Let’s talk about the ingredients. TIZO Environmental Skin Protectant contains 3% dimethicone which is used to help hydrate and smooth out the skin while protecting against excess moisture. It also prevents the skin from cracking. Bisabolol is a chamomile extract which functions as an anti-irritant. It will not remove bacteria from the skin but will help reduce inflammation. And finally, Copper Peptides will boost collagen which helps to strengthen and restore the natural elasticity of the skin, and they also help with moisturization.

Environmental Skin Protectant will help protect your skin throughout the day by strengthening, hydrating, and reducing inflammation. When used under your mask with the help of thorough cleansing, you can send unsightly and uncomfortable maskne on its way!
