Winter is coming, and while that might mean cosy nights by the fire and hot cocoa; for your skin, it's a battle against wind burn, dryness and flakiness. Don’t worry, we have your back (and your face) with some tips to keep your skin looking healthy even during the arduous months of winter.
Moisturise Like Your Skin Depends on It (Because It Does)
Let's start with the basics: moisturise, moisturise, moisturise! The cold, dry air outside and the warm, dry air inside can wreak havoc on your skin, leaving it parched and prone to flakiness. Invest in a good-quality moisturiser and slather it on morning and night. Your skin will thank you by looking as smooth as James Bond on a mission.

Don't Forget the SPF, Even When It's Cloudy
UV rays can still penetrate through those sneaky clouds and cause damage to your skin, leading to premature ageing and even skin cancer. So, slap on some SPF before you brave the great outdoors, even if it's just to run a quick errand. Your future self will thank you for it.

Hydrate from the Inside Out
While you're busy hydrating your skin on the outside, don't forget to hydrate from the inside too. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin plump and hydrated. And maybe lay off the whiskey a little – sorry, gents, but alcohol can dehydrate your skin faster than you can say "on the rocks."
Get Hands-On with Hand Cream
Your face isn't the only victim of winter dryness – your hands can suffer too, especially if you're braving the elements without gloves. Keep a tube of hand cream nearby and apply it liberally throughout the day to keep your hands hydrated.
Exfoliate, but Don't Overdo It
Exfoliation is key to getting rid of dead skin cells and revealing the fresh, smooth skin beneath. However, don't go overboard with the scrubbing – especially in winter when your skin is already more sensitive. Stick to exfoliating once or twice a week to avoid irritation and redness.
Maintaining proper hydration, protection from UV rays, and gentle exfoliation will ensure your skin remains resilient and healthy throughout the season. With these measures in place, you'll confidently navigate winter's harsh conditions while achieving a polished and well-groomed appearance.
