The combination of windy, cold, dry weather outside and humidity-depleting heaters indoors works to drain our skin of vital moisture during the Winter months. Our dewy, hydrated summer glow can quickly fade to a dull and ashy appearance. Keep reading to find out about our skin care tips for Winter to keep your skin health in check!

Here are some reasons why your skin might be feeling drier during Winter, other than the obvious (the weather!):

• You’re taking longer and warmer baths
• You’re using the same facial cleanser you used during Summer
• You’re not using a humidifier
• Your moisturizer is not enough
• You’re not exfoliating
• You stopped applying sunscreen

Although you may be thinking that adding additional moisture into your skin care routine will keep your skin health in check this Winter, there’s a lot more you can do

Here’s 10 important things you should be doing for your skin and body during the Winter months:

1. Drink lots of water
2. Avoid really hot showers
3. Remember oily skin and hydrated skin are not the same thing
4. If you’re not already, use night cream
5. Exfoliation is key
6. Add a serum to your skin routine
7. Switch to a body oil rather than a moisturising cream
8. Coconut oil is your friend
9. Consider changing your makeup products
10. Sleep on silk

Some extra products we recommend adding to your skin care routine during Winter –

• Use a sheet mask for moisture – Sheet masks allow rejuvenating ingredients to really soak into the skin
• Always carry a lip balm – by regularly applying a hydrating balm, they can stay ahead of the dryness
• Make sure you are still applying sunscreen everyday, including on your hands, neck and face
