Why this worksCold air and indoor heating can strip moisture from your skin, leading to dryness and accentuating fine lines. By focusing on hydration and barrier protection, you can help your skin retain moisture and maintain its elasticity, which is key for a youthful appearance.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Hydrate with a Rich Moisturiser Choose a thick, emollient moisturiser to lock in hydration. Apply it after cleansing while your skin is still slightly damp to maximise absorption.
  2. Incorporate a Humidifier Using a humidifier adds moisture to the air, helping to prevent your skin from drying out. Place one in your bedroom to keep your skin hydrated overnight.
  3. Opt for Nourishing Oils Incorporate facial oils into your routine to boost moisture levels. Apply a few drops after your moisturiser to seal in hydration and create a protective barrier.
  4. Use Gentle Exfoliation Exfoliate once a week with a gentle scrub or chemical exfoliant to remove dead skin cells. This helps your moisturiser penetrate better and promotes cell turnover without irritation.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip moisturiser in winter, thinking their skin is oily enough. Others over-exfoliate, stripping away necessary moisture. Be gentle and focus on hydration instead.

The pro moveConsider using a sleeping mask once a week for an extra boost of overnight hydration.
