Everything You Need To Tackle Dry And Dehydrated Skin This Winter
You have probably all updated your winter wardrobe already, swapped your t-shirts for woolly jumpers and sandals for boots, but have you changed your skincare regime?
In the cold weather, our skin needs a little extra nourishment. The dramatic changes in temperature from the contrast of cold weather and central heating will not only cause confusion but can irritate the skin. The harsh winds and cold spells that come with winter can strip away your skin's moisture levels damaging the skin barrier, leaving it feeling itchy, tight, and dry.
5 essential hydrating ingredients you should look for in your winter moisturiser to enhance the skin's barrier function for a healthier, more radiant complexion.
Omega Fatty acids
