Winter is fast approaching and for us its the time of year where the sudden drop in temperature means we have to up our skincare game…
As soon as the weather switches, it’s important we do the same to our skincare regime. It’s vital you exfoliate to get rid of any dry, flaky skin and then use a good moisturiser to replace the moisture that has been removed from your skin. Here are our top skincare saviours this winter…
To Prep and Exfoliate
The beauty brush is a new innovation changing the beauty game – and there’s no better time to try it than now. A facial cleansing brush is a soft-bristled, round brush that is used to massage and cleanse the face. They can either be manual or powered depending on your preference. Powered brushes rotate or vibrate providing a deeper massage and clean and work on everything from banishing dry patches and eliminating grease to minimising pores. Use this in your winter skincare regime and you’ll soon notice the difference.
Dry Skin
For those with dry skin the Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask is a definite winner. Although its not new to the market it is definitely a cult favourite. If you have ever tried any products from Origins you know they also smell divine too! The Japanese Seaweed in the product helps to repair the skins barrier and prevent future signs of dehydration and premature aging. Pop this on before you go to bed and let it sink in throughout the night and before you know it you’ll be waking up with beautiful plump skin!
RRP: £24.00 100ml
Oily Skin
For those who are prone to oily skin, grab yourself a bottle of the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel. Now I bet you’re thinking moisturizing oily skin? Yes! It is known that if you have oily skin and you avoid moisturizers, whilst the wrong product will worsen the oiliness you still need to add some moisture to replace what you have washed off during your morning cleanse. Your skin can also over produce oil if it isn’t getting enough moisture. Using a gel isn’t as heavy on the skin as a cream and this formula is also oil-free!
RRP: £18.00 50ml/£30 12ml with pump
Combination Skin
For those who are somewhere in the middle the Elemis Hydra-Balance Day Cream Normal to Combination is perfect. The formula is super light weight so you don’t feel as if you are layering too much product on where you have oily patches. This product features meadowsweet extract to regulate oil production in the skin and balance combination skin. Hyaluronic Acid is also featured to lock in moisture to help with those dry patches. This also won’t leave your skin feeling sticky or greasy!
RRP: £39.00 50ml
