So winter is very near and we need to make sure that we protect our skin to prevent having super dry dehydrated skin which the winter weather can do to us.
1. Make sure you moisturise day and night. Personally I like using a light moisturiser in the morning but at night I like using a much thicker and heavier moisturiser (I do have dry skin all year round - to see my skincare routine click here). Moisturising is a vital step even if you have oily skin because however much oil you have on your face does not mean that your skin is not dehydrated.
2. This is not a product that you put on your face but it is something that you put into your body and it water. Drink lots of water because it doesn't only quench your thirst, it acts as an amazing hydration for your skin and water can also improve the look of your skin in the long term.
3. The winter weather can really damage your hands and lips too so you need to make sure you have a hand cream and lip balm that you know works for you on hand. To make sure I remember to apply them two products daily, I put them on my bedside table so as soon as I wake and just before I go to sleep I can apply them.
4. Layer up when you are heading out of the house. Make sure you are wearing gloves, a scarf, a hat etc. so the cold wind won't get to that easily.
5. Use cream cleanser instead of gel and exfoliate regularly. Cream cleansers are more moisturising than gel cleansers and gel and tend to suck the moisture out of your skin which you definitely don't want! In the winter a lot of dull, dead, dry and flaky skin can build up so you need to make sure you exfoliate them off, I would recommend exfoliating at least once a week.
So they are my tips on how to protect your skin in the winter.
Have you got any tips you would like to share?
