WINTER SKINCARE WOES? YOUR GUIDE TO SELF-CARE: HEAD TO TOE (101)

Christmas parties and late nights? Cozy nights in- blasting central heating? Overindulgences in food and wine? Whatever you’ve enjoyed over the Christmas holidays, your skin and body have certainly endured it! That being said, we've got you covered with solutions to your winter skincare woes.

IS YOUR SKIN THIRSTY?

With colder temperatures and a drop in humidity during the winter months, our skin struggles to retain moisture. More than likely your skin is craving hydration and this is the time to crank up moisture boosting products. Consider swapping out gel or foaming cleanser with oil and balm cleansers that leave your skin nourished after cleansing. Add a hydrating humectant serum such as hyaluronic acid to draw water molecules into the skin and lock in that much needed moisture.

Moisturise moisturise moisture! This step is crucial during the winter months and we certainly recommend going for a thicker, richer in texture moisturiser- choose something rich in nutrients, antioxidants and natural oils. Why not also top up with a hydrating mist to give a glowy, dewy complexion to your skin whilst adding a layer of extra moisture.

WHERE DID YOUR GLOW GO?

As we mentioned, during the colder months our skin struggles to retain moisture… the direct effect? Dryness and dullness! So where did my glow go? And how do I get it back? Well aside from deeply moisturising skin there are other products you can add to your routine to restore your glow. Masking could be your saviour! We suggest masking a few times a week with a mask formulated with hydrating, brightening and gentle exfoliating properties. Buff away dead skin cells, resurface skin and boost circulation in the skin. The result? Your Glow!
