Why this worksWinter air tends to be dry, stripping moisture from your skin. By using at-home facial techniques, you can effectively hydrate, cleanse, and rejuvenate your skin. These methods help maintain your skin's barrier, keeping it soft and supple during the colder months.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Cleanse Your Face Start with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt and makeup. Use lukewarm water to avoid stripping your skin's natural oils.
  2. Exfoliate Gently Apply a mild exfoliant to slough off dead skin cells. Look for a product that suits your skin type and be careful not to over-exfoliate.
  3. Apply a Hydrating Mask Choose a hydrating mask that suits your skin needs. Leave it on for the recommended time to allow your skin to absorb the moisture.
  4. Moisturise Well Finish with a rich moisturiser to seal in hydration. Opt for a thicker cream during winter to combat dryness.

Where people go wrong

Many people forget to patch-test new products, leading to irritation. Others might over-exfoliate, which can damage the skin barrier. Lastly, skipping moisturiser post-mask can leave the skin feeling tight and dry.

The pro moveConsider warming your towels before applying your mask to enhance absorption.
