4 Tips to Winter-Proof Your Skin
Winter can be absolutely brutal on our skin! The cold wind blasting us and if you're in a dry climate, you feel like all the moisture is being stuck out from your skin.
But it doesn't have to be that bad. There are a few things you can do to Winter-Proof your skin.
Here are my Top 4 Tips...
Tip #1 - Support your skin from within
Healthy skin is an inside job. No amount of LA MER Night Cream at $1100 a jar, is going to save your skin! What will help your skin are foods high in Vitamin C like capsicum, oranges and kiwi fruit to help support your collagen production. As we age, we lose about 1% of our own collagen which is why I take Switch Collagen everyday. It's the perfect combination of Bovine and Marine Collagen.
Tip #2 - Stay away from direct heating
Don't get me wrong, the temptation to sit in front of the heater or have an extra hot shower is real in Winter! What you'll actually be doing is stripping the moisture from your skin, leaving it dry and itchy.
Tip #3 - Nourishing skincare
Now that you're looking after your skin from the inside, let's talk about supporting it from the outside. Hydration and moisture is key in Winter, starting with how you cleanse your skin. Start with a cream-type cleanser rather than a foaming cleanser. Your skin shouldn't feel tight after you've cleansed. Next step, eye serum to protect the delicate skin around the eyes followed by a hydrating serum for the rest of the face. For the day, finish with a moisturiser that's going to leave you skin feeling bouncy and at night, add a facial oil. I highly recommend taking a look at Ethical Essence Essential Trial Mini Set.
Tip #4 - Hydrating Makeup
Your makeup can be the difference between showing off your beautiful Winter skin or masking it. That's why it's so important to choose the right products based on the season. Our Serum Foundation is perfect base for the Winter months, leaving your skin feeling hydrated and let's not forget that luminous glow! Packed with Hyaluronic Acid, Kiwi Seed Extract, Pomegranate Seed Extract and Sea Buckthorn, these skin-loving ingredients are just what your skin is asking for.
