At this point during the winter, you may find your skin looks a bit dull and feels less than smooth. Or maybe you have noticed your skin is flaking?
When your skin looks or feels like this, it suggests a build-up of dead skin cells. Basically, your regular skin cleansing isn't doing enough to slough your face in its normal exfoliation process. This can be caused by many factors: excess oil, pollution, hormones, make-up and / or diet. But don’t despair; you can help your skin with at-home exfoliation.
Supercharge your skin
We all know about the importance of sleep to allow our bodies to rest and our minds to reset. And I hope you have an evening skincare routine before you head off to dreamland. But have you wondered why certain products are specified for PM usage?
Lip service
While I’ve got my face hydration programme down pat, with season and travel modifications, I have routinely been plagued by dry lips, particularly in autumn and winter. In the spring and summer, they stay fairly well hydrated, but with the slightest dip in temperature, they seem to lose all moisture retention properties.
A secret weapon for your skincare arsenal
Have you had one of those “uh-oh” skin moments? Where your reflection in the mirror isn’t quite what you hoped it would be. Perhaps your skin looks dull, you see a spot getting ready to erupt or a new line appearing. If you’re wondering what to do, I have a suggestion for you: add acid to your skincare routine.
