WINTER SKINCARE
During the colder and windier winter months, your skin can become dehydrated and lose its healthy-looking glow, but what are the main causes of dry winter skin and how can you help prevent it? To keep skin looking and feeling softer, smoother, hydrated and protected all season, follow our winter skincare routine and top winter skincare tips.
WHY SHOULD YOU CHANGE YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE IN WINTER?
Winter weather conditions can take a toll on your face and body – as the temperatures drop, so do the moisture levels in your skin. Cold temperatures and harsh winds can cause skin to dry out and lose its natural, healthy-looking glow. As well as winter weather, central heating can cause the air to dry out, which can then cause your skin to dehydrate. Less sunlight during the darker winter months can also strip your skin of nutrients (including vitamin D), which can cause skin to look dull and uneven.
When skin is dry, it can begin to feel rough, tight and itchy and can even start to redden and become more sensitive. Dry skin can develop on any part of the body and is especially common on the face during winter because it is more exposed to the weather. When your skin begins to lose its moisture and become dehydrated, it means it’s lacking the water levels needed to function effectively. As well as losing its softness, suppleness and natural-looking glow, dry and irritated skin in extreme weather conditions can develop into a skin condition known as ‘winter rash’.
Your skin is your body’s first line of defence against the elements and environment so it’s important to find the perfect winter skincare routine to suit your skin needs. This means mixing up your routine and finding gentle formulas that won’t strip away your skin’s natural moisture barrier. Ensure you include hydrating, creamy cleansers and gentle exfoliators as well as moisturisers in your everyday skincare routine. Gently buffing away dead skin cells allows your moisturisers to work and sink into skin more effectively.

WINTER BODYCARE ROUTINE
In winter, your body needs moisture and protection too. The drying effects of central heating and being trapped under the weight of all those heavy winter clothes means skin needs to be gently exfoliated weekly and hydrated daily to keep it looking and feeling smooth. To keep skin moisturised and protected from head-to-toe, follow our 4-step body care routine for dry skin in winter.
