TOP NINE TIPS FOR A HEALTHY SKIN THIS WINTER


TOP NINE TIPS FOR A HEALTHY SKIN THIS WINTER:

1. If your skin feels tight or taut after cleansing and you use a foamy cleanser, it’s time to switch for a more balancing cleanser that will soothe and replenish you skin. Try products with calming botanicals like lavender, chamomile, aloe and raspberry extract.
2. Use a hydrating spray or spritz after cleansing and throughout the day to rehydrate and reduce any tightness, particularly if you work in a heated environment.
3. Nourish by using a non-drying creamy mask that is rich in vital oils like Evening Primrose Oil and Vitamins A, E and C, and Oats to sooth and repair. I recommend twice a week if you are feeling super dry.
4. Use a serum or booster. These specialised products contain ingredients like hyaluronic acid which is like giving your skin a big glass of water, perfect for a skin that looks taut and feels tight.
5. Amp up your moisturising. If your skin is lacking oil and feeling dry you need more surface protection and nourishment. Ingredients like Shea butter, Evening Primrose Oil and Jojoba Seed Oil helps to keep the skin layers intact and nourish with vital fatty acids.
6. Don’t forget your lips, nose and cheeks; these are the most exposed areas, particularly when you are active outdoors during winter. Apply a healing balm to soothe and shield.
7. Beware winter sun! Always protect with a high level SPF. Many foundations are multi taskers, meaning they have inbuilt SPF ingredients, great for sporty sisters who are always on the move.
8. Dry body skin? Exfoliate regularly and apply your body moisturiser twice daily when your skin is still damp to lock in the moisture.
9. Always nourish your hands by using a protective hand cream and massage oil into your cuticles to prevent them from cracking. Try wearing lightweight run gloves when you are active outdoors
