Why this worksHydration is essential as air becomes drier with seasonal changes. A consistent routine helps maintain the skin's moisture barrier, preventing dryness and flakiness. By using the right products and techniques, you can keep your skin looking plump and healthy.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Start with a Gentle Cleanser Use a mild, hydrating cleanser to remove impurities without stripping your skin. Look for cleansers that contain ingredients like glycerin or aloe vera for added moisture.
  2. Apply a Hydrating Toner After cleansing, use a hydrating toner to prep your skin for better absorption of subsequent products. Look for toners with hyaluronic acid or rose water to boost hydration.
  3. Layer with a Moisturiser Choose a rich moisturiser that locks in moisture. Apply it while your skin is still slightly damp from the toner to maximise hydration retention.
  4. Finish with SPF Even on cloudy days, using a broad-spectrum SPF is essential. Apply it as the final step in your routine to protect your skin from UV damage while keeping it hydrated.

Where people go wrong

Many skip the toner, thinking it's unnecessary, but it plays a key role in hydration. Others apply moisturiser to dry skin, which can limit absorption. Remember to reapply SPF throughout the day for ongoing protection.

The pro moveConsider using a hydrating face mist throughout the day for an extra moisture boost.
