Does your skin dry out during the colder winter months? Cold weather, wind, central heating, showers and baths that are too hot all dry out your skin. It is important to consider if you need to make any changes to your skin care routine at this time of year.
Start by looking at your cleanser, is it gentle, nourishing, hydrating and free from harsh chemicals?
Does your dehydrated skin need a boosting serum? Serums penetrate deep into the skin and are deeply nourishing and hydrating, there are several to choose from. Take a look at Trilogy’s Hyaluronic Acid+Booster Treatment. This is an intensely hydrating water-gel serum. It contains hyaluronic acid to plump, hydrate, and smooth your skin. It’s enriched with acerola cherry, aloe vera, and rosehip oil. It’s suitable for all skin types and is particularly good for anyone who lives in cities or busy towns where there is a lot of pollution. A great tip with this product is to dampen the face before applying to really boost hydration.
Next, consider if you need to switch your moisturiser to one that offers greater hydration. Trilogy Ultra Hydrating Face Moisturiser works well for me. It is deeply hydrating which is exactly what I need for my mature skin!
Your lips can dry out too, take a look at Trilogy Everything Balm, it comes in a small round container and fits perfectly in your handbag or pocket. It is ideal for lips or any area that needs a bit of hydration.
Other tips for dry skin could include drinking plenty of water, warm is better. Try nourishing herbal teas, avoid sugary drinks, caffeine, and alcohol. Omega 3 essential fatty acids are important for skin health. Included them in your diet or supplement if needed. Vitamin C is one of the building blocks of collagen and is found in your fruit and vegetables. Keep topped up on these throughout the winter months. Protein is extremely important for skin health. Meat, eggs, pulses, lentils, nuts, and seeds are some sources you could include in your daily diet.
Making some adjustments to your diet and varying the products that you use on your skin at this time of the year could make all the difference to how well your skin looks and feels.
I hope you glow this winter!
