Why Winter Skincare is Important…

Now that the weather is running cooler, many people may think that their skincare routine can take a backseat. However, this couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, cooler weather can be just as harsh on your skin, if not more so, than warmer weather. Therefore, it is crucial to maintain a skincare routine that will keep your skin healthy and glowing throughout the cooler months!

One of the most important things to remember during the cooler months is to keep your skin moisturised. The cold air can be very drying to the skin, leading to flakiness, itching, and even cracking. Therefore, it is essential to use a good quality moisturiser that can help to keep your skin hydrated. Some of my favourites are the Weleda Skin Food and Bobbi Brown Face Base, both are perfect under makeup as well as on their own. Additionally, using a facial oil or serum can provide extra nourishment to your skin, helping to combat the effects of the cold weather. A hyaluronic acid serum can help the skin to absorb twice the amount of moisture, my personal favourite is by THE INKEY.

Another important aspect of a skincare routine during the cooler months is to protect your skin from the sun. Even though the sun may not feel as strong during the Autumn and Winter months, it can still cause damage to your skin. Therefore, it is essential to use an SPF or moisturiser/foundation that contains SPF to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Again my favourite SPF product to use is by THE INKEY.

Lastly, it is crucial to exfoliate your skin regularly during the cooler months. Exfoliating 1-3 times per week can help to remove dead skin cells, which can lead to a dull complexion. Additionally, it can help your skin to better absorb the serums and moisturiser, allowing them to work more effectively.

Maintaining a skincare routine during the cooler months is just as important as during the warmer months. By keeping your skin moisturised, protected from the sun, and regularly exfoliated, you can help to keep your skin healthy and glowing all year round!
