Protecting your skin in the winter

Although the start of the autumn saw most areas of the UK enjoying some unseasonably warm weather, it’s now safe to say that hot sunny days won’t be gracing us until well into next year.

With Christmas now approaching us with alarming speed, most days are likely to consist of rain, ice, snow (gulp!) and really low temperatures, and when conditions are like this, it can be all to easy to forget to protect your skin properly.

For most people, skin care products which stop the skin from becoming very dry and chapped are the order of the day, and in placing priorities here they completely forget to protect the skin from the sun.

Some people mistakenly think that when the sun isn’t shining brightly and warmly, it can’t cause any skin damage. This isn’t the case though, as even when the sun is hidden by dark clouds, its rays can have a negative impact.

This is why, even on the coldest and dreariest winter’s day, you still need to apply a product with an SPF- the Dermalogica Solar Defence Booster is a good product for year-round use.

Don’t let winter weather get a look in

One of the worst things about winter weather is that it can have a tendency to creep up without warning. One minute you’re happily enjoying a nice mild autumn, and the next you’re shivering in all of your winter woollies.

Since you can never predict when temperatures will take a turn for the worse, it always pays to be prepared well in advance- and not only with your winter clothing but also with your winter skin care products.

It’s just as important to put the time and effort into looking after your skin in the winter as it is in the summer, although your skin will obviously have different needs.

It’s really important to try and keep that red-raw chapped look which can all too easily strike during the winter at bay, and you should be able to find moisturisers and barrier products which can help here.

As well as the skin on your face, make sure that you protect your lips and hands from the effects of winter weather too.

Dermalogica has everything you need to ensure that winter weather doesn’t get a look in, so make those all-important new skin care investments today.

Is your skin still suffering after winter?

Dermalogica Barrier RepairAlthough the snow and ice departed from most areas of the country a fair few weeks ago now, you’re not alone if your skin is still suffering the effects, and after having to endure such bitterly cold temperatures, it’s no surprise that there are many who are still trying to get their skin back to its beautiful best.

Freezing temperatures can quickly leave skin feeling parched and chapped, and if you stepped outside after using just your normal day to day moisturiser, your skin could really be feeling the effects.

Thankfully though, there are lots of brilliant skin care products on the market nowadays, and this means that you probably won’t face too much of as struggle to ease skin’s suffering.

Intense moisturising and hydrating products are a must when it comes to combating the after effects of a harsh winter and restoring the state of your skin, although you do need to make sure that you use good quality products which sink into the skin properly and which don’t leave a greasy residue.

The Dermalogica Barrier Repair and Intensive Moisture Balance products are brilliant at repairing skin damaged by climatic conditions, and in addition to repairing existing damage they can help against future skin assaults.

Turn to Dermalogica and stop skin’s suffering in its tracks.

Has winter been harsh on your hands?

It’s not just the skin on your face which can be affected by harsh winter weather, and as they’re so exposed your hands could also start to suffer.

Dry and chapped hands can look and feel awful, although with spring on the way, now is the perfect time to wage war on the situation.

Failing to tackle dry hands head on will only lead to the condition worsening, therefore it’s important to do something about the situation as quickly as possible- and the good news is that you can do this in the comfort of your own home.

A good hand cream is your main allie in your mission to get hands looking back to their best, although unless you like walking around with sticky mitts you need to make sure that you invest in a hand cream which soaks in easily and which doesn’t leave a greasy residue- such as Dermalogica Multivitamin Hand & Nail Treatment.

Dermalogica Multivitamin Hand & Nail Treatment can quickly help to restore smooth and supple hands- without making hands feel sticky in the process. As well as instantly helping hands and protecting against future damage, the Multivitamin Hand & Nail Treatment also helps to keep nails nice and strong.

Wave goodbye to the harsh effects of winter- literally- with and see in the spring with beautiful hands.

Don’t let dry skin win

Although many people only suffer with dry skin during the winter months, it’s something which a lot of people suffer with whatever the time of year, and whichever of these categories you fall into you shouldn’t let dry skin win.

Dry skin can not only leave your complexion looking a lot less than its best but can also leave it feeling worse for wear- plus dry skin can also have an effect on the look and lasting power of cosmetics such as foundation and powder.

There are loads of moisturisers on the market at the moment which are specifically designed to combat dry skin, although you do need to be careful that you don’t choose and use a product which leaves a greasy residue. As well as leaving your skin looking and feeling awful, using a product which results in this could actually cause further skin problems.

Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Balance is the product of choice for those looking to do battle with dry skin- and effortlessly win- and its formulation allows it to rehydrate skin without any sticky side effects.

As well as letting you beat generally dry skin, Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Balance can also help to minimise the look of fine lines and help to prevent daily damage- so there really is no chance of dry skin emerging victorious.
