Why this worksCold weather can strip moisture from your skin, leading to dryness and dullness. By adjusting your skincare routine and incorporating hydrating techniques, you can lock in moisture and promote a healthy glow. It’s all about layering hydration and nourishment effectively.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Hydrate from Within Start by drinking plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated. Aim for at least 2 litres a day, as hydration begins from the inside out.
  2. Use a Humidifier Invest in a humidifier to add moisture to the air in your home. This will help prevent your skin from drying out due to indoor heating.
  3. Switch to Creamy Cleansers Opt for a creamy or oil-based cleanser instead of a foaming one. This helps to cleanse without stripping your skin's natural oils.
  4. Layer Hydrating Serums Incorporate hydrating serums containing ingredients like hyaluronic acid. Apply them to damp skin to lock in moisture effectively.
  5. Moisturise Regularly Choose a thicker, richer moisturiser to keep your skin protected against the cold. Apply it at least twice a day, especially after cleansing.
  6. Exfoliate Gently Use a gentle exfoliant once a week to remove dead skin cells. This helps to reveal the fresh skin beneath and boosts radiance.

Where people go wrong

Many people forget to adjust their cleansers and moisturisers for winter, leading to dryness. Skipping hydration or not using a humidifier can worsen your skin's condition. Also, over-exfoliating can irritate and damage your skin barrier.

The pro moveTry warming your moisturiser between your palms before applying; it helps with absorption.
