With winter on the way how can we update our skincare routine to protect against the colder, harsher elements?
Many people feel that their skin becomes drier during the colder season and when mixed with the warm heated indoors it can become dehydrated, irritated and even sensitive. You don't, however, have to completely change your skincare routine but a few tweaks can make a world of difference.
Add in hyaluronic acid serum like Skin Formulas Hydra Serum or Skingredients Skin Veg Serum or Seoulista Beauty Super Hydration Instant Facial
This ingredient can be applied after cleansing and before moisturising morning and/or night. It works by hydrating skin and preventing loss of moisture. It also plumps the skin and helps to visibly reduce appearance of fine lines. Hyaluronic acid is suitable for all skin types.
Add in an oil like REN Vita Mineral Omega 3 Optimum Skin Oil
Oils containing omegas 3, 6 and 9 can boost moisture levels in the skin thereby reducing signs of ageing and sensitivity. Nourishing oils can also strengthen and repair the lipid barrier of the skin.
Add in an anti-redness serum like REN Evercalm Anti-Redness Serum
If the skin becomes more sensitive and red then a serum to counteract this would be a great addition. This serum provides instant relief from feeling of discomfort and sensitivity, while boosting hydration and skin barrier function.
Add in a gentle exfoliant like REN Ready Steady Glow Tonic
An exfoliant helps the skin by removing dead skin layers. One without granules or beads would be ideal as sometimes these can have the opposite effect on skin such as increased drying, moisture-loss and more irritation. An exfoliant that gently assists in the natural renewal of the skin would be preferable.
Add in an overnight mask like Uriage Eau Thermale Water Sleeping Mask or Biotrade Hydro Mask
Adding in a mask that you put on and leave overnight is a great way to get moisture into the skin with very little effort and treat yourself in the process!
So what about the rest of your body?
Uriage have a fantastic lip protecting balm Uriage Cica-Lips Protecting Balm. For very dry skin, the Skin Rescue Face & Body Cream contains ceramides, urea and probiotics to nourish and soothe.
