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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If you’ve spent the past few months arming yourself with products to protect your skin during the winter months and applying them religiously, the last thing which you will want to do is risk ruining all of your efforts and finding yourself having to deal with dry and dehydrated skin.

The thing about our winters is that they can be very very temperamental, and even if temperatures are on the mild side one day, in just a matter of hours things could change for the worse.

This is why, until it’s time to start thinking about protecting your skin against sunburn again (and let’s face it, this can’t come quick enough!), you should continue to protect your skin with effective moisturisers, boosters and other essential products.

Don’t let cold weather catch you unaware- invest in Dermalogica Skincare Products which will offer complete protection.

As most of the UK is in the grip of what looks as though it is going to be a very long and very cold winter, it won’t take much or long before lips start to look and feel dry and dehydrated. This is why it’s so important to arm yourself with a product which will help to protect and nourish lips, even when temperatures drop well below freezing.

Whilst there are many lip products available nowadays, when it comes to protecting lips from chapping during less than favourable climatic conditions, you need to invest in a product which offers that little bit more- such as Dermalogica Climate Control Lip Treatment.

Dermalogica Climate Control Lip Treatment has been specially formulated to offer amazing protection to lips when Artic conditions strike, and in addition to shielding the lips, this fantastic product will also help to make them feel super soft.

Keep your pout looking perfect this winter by popping this product in your pocket.

With temperatures well below freezing in some areas, even when you feel that you have protected your sensitive skin sufficiently, it literally could be starting to look a little weathered.

You don’t have to reach for the balaclava or full Eskimo outfit just yet though, as there are some simple skin care products out there which can really soothe sensitive skin and really show the freezing temperatures just who’s boss.

Dermalogica Gentle Soothing Booster is the perfect product for those looking to soothe sensitized skin, and as well as getting to work quick-time, it’s fantastic oil free formulation means that you don’t have to worry about skin looking overly shiny or greasy.

We all know how dehydrating winter weather can be too, although luckily as well as calming sensitive skin, Dermalogica Gentle Soothing Booster can also help to restore much needed moisture- and this itself will go a long way in improving both the look and feel of skin.

There’s no doubt that Dermalogica Gentle Soothing Booster is a wonderful weapon in the fight against winter weather.

Alcohol, lack of sleep and a poor diet are all key causes of skin looking in dire need of a little TLC, and it’s fair to say that, for many people, all three are part and parcel of the festive season.

However, the absolute worst thing you can do is ignore the stressed state of your skin, as it’s likely to take a lot longer to get it looking back to its very best, and you could even find yourself trying to deal with long term damage.

There’s no excuse for leaving your skin to fester though, as there are lots of purse-friendly products on the market which will get your skin looking back to its very best in no time at all- one of which is the fantastic Dermalogica Multivitamin Power Recovery Masque.

Dermalogica Multivitamin Power Recovery Masque has thrown a lifeline to those with seriously stressed and dehydrated skin, and immediately gets to work on soothing, calming and repairing skin.

Invest in this product, and whatever the cause of your skin’s stresses, you can quickly enjoy a happier, healthier complexion.

Looking after the skin when the temperatures take a turn for the worse doesn’t have to feel like a huge chore though, as provided you make the effort to avoid a few common skin care crimes, your skin will look stunning throughout autumn, winter and beyond.

Here are two of the most common mistakes which many people make, and how you can avoid making them yourself…

Poor quality moisturiser

Using a moisturiser which doesn’t nourish skin and protect it from cold climatic conditions could leave it looking dry and (quite literally) weathered very quickly. You can avoid succumbing to this yourself by investing a moisturiser which is designed for your skin type, intensely nourishes but doesn’t leave a greasy residue- such as Dermalogica Moisturisers.

Skipping sun protection

Whilst most people make the effort to protect skin from the sun during the warmer months, the moment the temperatures start to fall, sun protection is often sidelined. The sun’s rays can still damage skin when it’s not shining brightly and warmly though, so invest in a moisturiser, booster or foundation with SPF protection- again, Dermalogica can help you with these too.

Don’t be a skin sinner this autumn- make the effort to protect yours properly.
