Winter is here and it can cause a lot of silent damage to our skin. The sun may not be shining all day (we wish!) but there are plenty of other skin damaging signs to be aware of. Winter is prone to drying out our skin, giving it a tight, leathery feel so to help combat these symptoms, here are our 3 top skin problems combined with how best to treat them.
#1 Dry skin
From the weather conditions outside to the increased use of heating within our homes, our skin is prone to becoming very dry during the colder months. Hydration is paramount to restoring your skins balance.
Tips:
Don’t forget to drink enough fluids - we love herbal teas in winter for warm and cosy re-hydration.
We also LOVE ‘Hydr8 B5’ from Medik8 which infuses your skin with intense hydration and long-lasting moisture. Known for holding up to 1,000x its own weight in water, multi-weight hyaluronic acid draws and binds water from the atmosphere into the skin. It’s a winner!
#2 Dull skin
We often feel a little low on vitality in the colder months and so does our skin. If you find your skin is taking on a dull, grey appearance then you are not alone!
Tips:
Exfoliating your skin will remove dead or flaky skin, revealing a revitalized appearance.
Check our this awesome Surface Radiance Cleanse which helps to reveal flawless, radiant skin and is infused with an exfoliating blend of mandelic, lactic and salicylic acid, which have been selected for their gentle yet effective anti-ageing results.
#3 Damaged skin
Even in winter, the sun is causing damage to our skin. But not only the sun, blue light from the use of digital appliances and pollution in the air are all contributing to a faster aging process in our skin. So what can you do?
Tips:
Don’t forget that even in winter you need to protect your skin from harmful UV rays and blue light.
Protect yourself everyday with the Advanced Day Total Protect cream. Combining comprehensive environmental protection in a deeply hydrating SPF 30 moisturiser to help prevent premature skin ageing. Advanced Day Total Protect includes Pollution Shield, anti-infrared, anti-blue light and anti-A.G.E technology alongside SPF 30 and 5* UVA protection all in a lightweight moisturiser.
