Caring for skin during winter takes just a little extra time. During the colder season our skin gets exposed to the elements - cold air, low humidity, and most likely dry heat from our heaters indoors.
All these fluctuating temperatures leave their mark but if you get into a good routine your skin will reap the rewards.
If you are struggling to maintain your skin during winter, we have a few winter tips to help you maintain your skin’s moisture.
Here are our top 6 ways to care for you skin in winter.
Don’t forget sunscreen
It doesn’t matter what season we are in. We believe all great moisturisers should contain UVA/UBV sun protection ingredients. Even in winter the harsh sun rays can penetrate our precious skin.
Our SPF moisturiser containing UVA/UVB sun protection ingredients helps protect against premature ageing from sun damage.
Use a moisturising, hydrating cleanser in winter
Did you know you need to shed all of your dry flaky skin on the surface before you apply your moisturiser?
It is important to cleanse twice daily to remove impurities and let our skin breathe. A well-formulated cleanser is one that can thoroughly clean the skin and not destroy the natural skin structure. Cleansing also increases the blood flow, and aids elimination of toxins.
You should always choose a cleanser to suit your skin type to get the best results. Read our blog on choosing the right cleanser for your skin type here.
Try a Serum
After cleansing, your skin will be clean, and free from the dirt and grime that clogs your pores. This is the perfect time to apply an antioxidant vitamin serum.
When formulated into serum, antioxidant vitamins can penetrate the skin to help:
Our C-Blanc Vitamin C Serum is packed with abundant antioxidants and 1-2 pumps in the morning before moisturising is all you need for visible results.
Our B-Hydrate Multivitamin B Serum has a range of powerful ingredients including Vitamin B3 and Vitamin B5. This beautiful serum is effective at restoring the moisture balance of the skin and repairing damaged skin.
Exfoliate
There are so many benefits to exfoliating your skin during winter, even for those of us who have dry skin, exfoliating once a week can boost skin regeneration. By removing the dry dead skin cells, you are helping you regenerate new ones. Your skin will thank you for it.
Our Exfoliating Scrub with Salicylic & Rice and B Exfoliating Cleanser helps to absorb excess surface oil while gently scrubbing away dirt and impurities resulting in bright, supple, hydrated skin. Salicylic Acid is a key ingredient in both products and one of the most effective exfoliants because of its deep pore penetration properties.
It softens the pores which make it easy to remove dirt and oil from deep down leaving you with a beautiful, glowing complexion.
Apply a little liquid gold
No matter the climate our skin is exposed to free radicals all year which results in causing sunspots, the breakdown of collagen, and premature fine lines.
Choosing a gentle cleanser, moisturiser and products like The Oil gives your skin the extra nourishment it craves in the colder seasons.
The Oil contains antioxidants that help revitalise the skin and boost hydration. The non-greasy, fast absorption is great for dry skin and helps keep the moisture levels of the skin balanced all year round.
A good skincare routine
Don’t just treat your skin to a nourishing routine for a few days or weeks.
