Top tips for winter skincare

Fluctuating temperatures inside and out can wreak havoc on your skin. And with the heating on high, indoor air becomes drier – and along with it, your skin. During the colder months, our skin produces less sebum, which helps keep it hydrated and supple. As a result, most people tend to have drier and duller skin in winter.

 

Not to worry: a few small adjustments to your daily beauty routine can restore your natural glow!

 

Start by washing your face with a mild cleanser that is free from perfume and alcohol. Not everyone loves scrubbing or exfoliating their skin in winter, but it’s an important step towards a radiant complexion. We prefer a gentle peeling product, such as our gommage with lavender extract, which has hydrating properties. The exfoliant has a smooth, creamy texture that dries on the skin and absorbs impurities. Rubbing the dried product off your skin creates a gentle exfoliating effect.

 

Next, apply a rich day or night cream that nourishes and protects the skin. You can also use a serum to hydrate and soothe the skin, depending on your needs. A hydrating night mask is also a great option.

 

Finally, don't forget to protect your skin from the sun, especially on snowy days, when the sun is reflected everywhere.
