6 SIMPLE WINTER SKIN-SOLUTIONS
Taking care of your skin is a big deal, but don’t worry! We’ve got you, Sorted. In just a few simple steps, you can say goodbye to unhappy skin and hello to a healthy glow this National Healthy Skin Month. Here are 6 simple skin-solutions that will keep your skin balanced for the long haul.
1 - ARMOUR UP WITH SPF
Using an SPF as the last step of your morning skincare, year round is the best thing you can do for your skin. While UVB rays - the main causes of sunburn - are the strongest in the summer, UVA rays remain constant throughout the year (meaning in the darker months too!) The 5 in 1 Anti-Redness Day Cream has that all important broad-spectrum SPF50 for year-round skin protection.
2 - GIVE YOUR FACE-TOUCHING BELONGINGS A GOOD CLEAN
Did you know, our hands are like little germ magnets, picking up all kinds of bacteria and allergens that can wreak havoc on our skin? And it's not just our hands; our phones, pillowcases, washcloths, and makeup brushes can also be culprits in transferring these pesky germs to our precious faces, ultimately exacerbating acne, redness, and irritation, acne, redness, and irritation.
So, let's keep our hands and other items in check to keep our skin happy and healthy. Cleaning these items at least once a week can work wonders to prevent breakouts & inflammation. You’ll see what a difference it makes!
3 - TOP-TO-TOE TLC
Do your feet, knees, and elbows feel like they're lost in the Sahara Desert? These poor parched areas can sometimes get neglected the most.
As we crank up the heat indoors and bundle up against the cold weather outside, our skin can feel like it's been through a sandstorm. Beat the winter blues and keep your skin silky soft by moisturising top-to-toe right after your shower. This simple step can work wonders to keep irritation and flare-ups at bay. The Intensive Rescue Range offers up to 72 hours of nourishment and hydration, keeping the good stuff locked in for longer.
4 - LET YOUR SKIN BREATHE WITH A GOOD NIGHT’S REST
Your makeup and SPF can shield you from harm from the sun, but they can also collect the nasties that hover in the air during the day. Wash your face everyday before you hit the hay, leaving it squeaky clean and free from bacteria.
Apply your skincare magic straight after to lock in that moisture. You'll wake up with skin that looks and feels rejuvenated.
5 - MAKE YOUR SKIN HAPPY, MORNING AND NIGHT
The cold is here, but don't worry. Keeping your skin protected and hydrated is easier than it sounds. How? Moisturising twice a day will make your skin barrier a hero, helping to defend you from the dry and cold.
Shielding your skin can be a superhero move against the villains of dry, itchy, and red skin. With a strengthened skin barrier, you'll be ready to combat the harsh environmental elements and keep your skin nourished and balanced!
6- SELF-SCAN YOUR SKIN
Your skin is like your body’s personal alarm system, sometimes sending signals of bigger health or skin troubles lurking beneath the surface.
Give your skin a once-over and check for any moles, spots or rashes that seem out of the ordinary - they could be a warning sign for more serious concerns like skin cancer. Give yourself a quick scan and stay on top of your skin's health.
