Winter is the season of the year where dry skin hits many hard while many others are prone to it, thus resulting in a change in ones skin care routine to protect and take care of our skin during the crisp, cold winter months. Here are my top tips on winter skin care:

Cleanse your skin with a suitable cleanser for your skin type, you do not have to spend a lot of money on this, just pop down to your local drugstore and look around. Personally, ‘Olay’ have in produce a great moisturising cleanser for all skin types.

Next, using a cotton wool pad apply the toner to your face. This will remove any residue from the cleanser and close your pores, it also makes in the moisturiser seep into your skin more. I recommend a Vitamin E toner, as they are suitable for sensitive skin as well as all skin types, while also healing and protecting the skin.

Finally, apply a moisturiser every day, preferably with added SPF, as the sun is always there. It will save your skin, and definitely make sure that your skin stays looking youthful for longer. Look for a moisturiser that is appropriate for your skin type.

Exfoliating your skin and face is a must during the winter, in order to remove the dry skin and replace them with smooth skin. A homemade exfoliator such as olive oil mixed with sugar is a great way to exfoliate and moisturise your skin thoroughly. Do this 3 times a week for maximum benefits. Or use a body wash with an exfoliating mitt to stimulate cell renewal, reduce cellulite and while also sloughing away dead skin cells. You can use the mitt with the homemade concoction for added stimulation and results for your skin.

Apply a moisturiser to your skin every day in order to retain elasticity, smooth skin and hydrate your skin in order so it looks and feels at its best. ‘Vaseline Intensive Care’ range is good for the winter to moisturise your skin, but not leave it looking at all greasy.

While winter might make your prone to dryer skin, it still needs to be taken care of not neglected, therefore follow this great skin care routine, and before you know it, you’ll be enjoying the winter season and having absolutely beautiful skin the whole way. Wrap up warm for winter and make sure that your winter is an absolutely fabulous winter this year.
