Secrets to protecting your skin from the winter blues
As winter approaches we can suffer chapped lips, tight or itchy skin, rough knuckles…
These are our top tips to keep your skin hydrated and loved this winter
Keep hydrated and retain water in your skin - Our skin naturally loses moisture throughout the day and night. Many factors can attribute to this such as heating/cooling systems, diet, climate, water intake and pollution.
- Keeping up your water intake is a must, swap out coffee for your favourite tea or flavoured water.
- Step up to a cream cleanser that will add vital moisture to your skin. I like Earths Essence Cream cleanser; it feels soft and will leave your skin feeling hydrated.
Consider tweaking your daily skincare routine – Is your skin still feeling dry after applying your moisturiser or has that tight feeling late afternoon?
- Try swapping it for a heavier day moisturiser, I like Earths Essence Restore soothing cream, which is also great for a sensitive skin.
- Add a facial oil to your routine or a couple drops to your moisturiser for extra hydration. Earths Essence Glow facial oil is great for this, it will have your skin feeling soft and supple.
- Add a Hyaluronic acid serum to your skincare routine, it is perfect for dry or dehydrated skin due to its ability to hold up to 1000 times its weight in hydration.
Layer up at night and use overnight treatments- The best time to get more moisture into your skin is at night. Add a luxurious night cream to your skin after a serum and oil, then swap this for an overnight treatment mask once or twice a week. I like Earths Essence Renew Intensive hydrating mask; it feels like silk!
Make up in Winter
Keep your make up looking amazing this winter by some simple steps
- Always moisturise your skin before applying foundation, even your lips – a lip balm is a must. Earths Essence organic lip balm is perfect for this.
- Don’t go too heavy on the powder, it can give you a dull complexion.
- Set your make up with a good facial mist.
