Oh winter……whilst all the snuggly time in front of the fire, drinking hot chocolate and fun in the snow can be great, the colder months can really wreak havoc for our skin.
Double D’s
The words we don’t want to hear – deflated and dehydrated.
At some point it happens to all of us. Nobody is born with skin that stays hydrated all year round. (But wouldn’t that be nice?)
How can we tell if our skin is feeling a little deflated and dehydrated?
Dehydration can cause skin to lose its radiance.
We think it’s about time your skin got the TLC it deserves.
Where you want to be
Hydrated skin is smooth, radiant and has an even tone. So how can we get our skin back to its best self?
Here's the good news: It's actually pretty easy.
Try our top 5 tips for reinvigorating your delicate skin.
1: Drink plenty of O2
It might seem obvious, but the first step to hydrating your skin is hydrating your body by drinking plenty of water. I know, sometimes we forget.
Here is an extra little tip.
Purchase yourself a nice reusable and sustainable water bottle and always keep it on you. You can top it up across the day and you won’t even notice that you have been so effortlessly upping your water intake.
2: Eat a healthy, balanced diet
Craving fast food or craving beautiful, hydrated skin? I know what I would choose.
If you want moisturised, plump skin, you should eat foods that are antioxidant-rich and known for their complexion-changing properties such as: leafy greens, fruit, salmon, nuts and seeds and avocado.
3: Get plenty of ZZZZZZs
Ah sleep. It can be hit and miss depending on what’s happening in our lives but getting adequate sleep is essential for keeping our skin in tip top shape. Not getting enough sleep affects the moisture levels in our skin and can throw everything out of balance.
The sciency bit
When we are (trying) to get 40 winks our skin switches to regenerative mode. If it doesn’t get enough time to complete its process our skin won’t look as fresh and bright as it should.
The solution…… get more sleep.
4: Choose the right skincare products to boost hydration and have your skin feeling and looking amazing.
A great skincare routine is essential for healthy, hydrated skin all year round.
Use a moisturising, hydrating cleanser.
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, 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.
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.
5: Wear sunscreen.
Using sunscreen to protect your skin can go a long way toward allowing it to stay hydrated. Without sunscreen, it is easy for skin to become damaged due to exposure to the sun.
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.
Enjoy hydrated, healthy skin all year round.
