Why this worksThis facial combines cleansing, exfoliating, and hydrating to tackle winter dryness. Each step helps to remove dead skin cells and boost moisture levels, leaving your skin looking revitalised. Plus, taking time for self-care can improve your mood, which reflects on your skin.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Cleanse Your Face Start with a gentle cleanser suited for your skin type. Massage it onto damp skin in circular motions for about a minute, then rinse with lukewarm water to remove impurities.
  2. Exfoliate with a Scrub Use a mild exfoliating scrub to slough off dead skin cells. Apply a small amount, gently massaging in circular motions for about 30 seconds, then rinse thoroughly to reveal smoother skin.
  3. Apply a Hydrating Mask Choose a hydrating mask rich in moisture-boosting ingredients. Apply it evenly over your face and let it sit for the recommended time, usually around 10-15 minutes, before rinsing it off.
  4. Moisturise Well Finish with a rich moisturiser to lock in hydration. Apply a generous amount and massage it into your skin until fully absorbed, focusing on any dry areas.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip exfoliation, thinking it's unnecessary, but it’s crucial for removing winter buildup. Also, using a mask that's too harsh can irritate your skin, so always choose one suited for your skin type. Lastly, forgeting to moisturise can leave your skin feeling tight and dry.

The pro moveConsider using a warm towel to open pores before cleansing for a deeper clean.
