As the weather changes, your winter skincare regime also needs to change accordingly.

Dull, dry, flaky, tight & irritated skin are some of the signs that it might be time to tweak your daily skincare routine and time to start thinking about your winter skincare.

Find out how you can switch up your skincare in these winter months and help treat your skin.

 

Keep your skin hydrated this winter with these simple Tips

 

Switch your gel/foaming cleanser for a cream Cleanser.


Cream cleansers will give you added hydration when you need it. And if you already suffer from dry skin go for an oil-based cleanser

Switch to a richer moisturiser

To help improve skin hydration and restore barrier function, look out for moisturisers that contain ceramides, omega fatty acids & vitamin E.

If you really don't like the thought of a thicker moisturiser in the daytime just use it at night.

Layer with a serum 

No winter skin-care routine is complete without Hyaluronic Acid (HA)!

HA can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water and has the ability to deliver this moisture evenly to skin cells, boosting hydration levels, smoothing lines, and plumping the skin.

HA-based serums should be applied before your moisturiser to allow ingredients to absorb into the skin and deliver maximum results.

Accelerated cell turnover

Retinol works its magic through cell turnover ensuring the newest, healthiest cells rise to the surface while the dull and lifeless cells are sloughed off.

It is also a good idea to use retinol in winter because of minimal sun exposure.   

Retinol evens out your skin tone leaving the skin smoother, softer, and more radiant.

Don't forget the lips 

For many of us, cold weather brings with it dry, chapped, or painfully cracked lips, so we all need a lip balm to protect & nourish our lips!

Limit shower time and temperature 


Hot showers or baths can damage the skin during winters colder months as it can lead to excessively dry skin. Make sure you pat your skin dry & moisturise afterwards to keep the barrier of your skin from losing water.

 

hand cream

 

Hands are often one of the first places we notice dry skin, so they are a great sign as to whether your complexion is suffering in the winter or not. 
Try and wear gloves whenever you're outside to keep them protected and apply a hand cream to boost hydration.

SPF

The sun’s rays damage skin no matter what time of year it is, so a good sunscreen should be worn all year round.
