Time to winterize your skin?

In Beauty & Fashion by Hugh Wilkinson0 Comments

With Winter well and truly on its way, its time to plan your best winter skin ever!

Your skin may just need some extra TLC with lower humidity levels, extreme cold, varying indoor and outdoor environments can all cause damage to the skins protective outer layer.

Vital lipids between cells get stripped away leaving dangerous gaps in the natural defensive barrier. Irritants can get in causing sensitivity and inflammation, while critical moisture gets sucked out.

Your skin might feel dry, tight, itchy, thirsty and possible tingly or stinging. It can look dull, flaky, drier around the eyes and possibly pink on the cheeks. Being more sensitive and reactive to your usual products and make up is also a common indication of gaps in the barrier.

Winter tips for your face

  • Switch your foaming cleanser for a soothing gel cream instead which will replenish lipids and soothe sensitivity. Try Dermalogica’s UltraCalming Cleanser.
  • Sweep away flaky, dull skin cells with Daily Resurfacer that gently smooths and brightens while hydrating the skin at the same time.
  • Layer on hydration and reduce tightness by spritzing after cleansing and throughout the day and even over make up choose from MultiActive Toner, Antioxidant Hydramist or UltraCalming Mist.
  • For sore, red, irritated skin comfort with a generous application of Ultracalming Serum Concentrate and use Ultracalming Relief Masque a few times a week to soothe and calm.
  • Change to a heavier weight moisturiser for more nourishment and protection like Super Rich Repair for day and night.
  • If it’s super cold, try a healing balm like Climate Control on exposed areas like lips, nose and cheekbones for extra protection and healing.
  • Repair and diminish dry skin and lines by gently patting Intensive Eye Repair around the eyes.
