How to look after your skin in this cold snap


Keeping your skin hydrated throughout the colder weather is crucial to help it remain soft, supple and dewy. With heavy snow looking likely to set in over the weekend, and our central heating on full blast, our skin will be open to all elements making it look and feel dryer, however, there are some things you can do to help keep your skin hydrated.

Invest in a thick cream
Ensuring you use a thick daily cream with SPF is imperative when the weather goes below 0, as these colder temperatures can leave skin feeling dry and coarse, the sun can also be much harsher in this weather due to the reflection from the snow. 

Top up your H2o Levels
It’s no secret that drinking 8 glasses of water a day is the simplest and cheapest way to keep your skin hydrated and looking fresh, however managing to drink this much can prove difficult when you lead such a busy life. Try keeping a reusable water bottle by your desk so you remember to top up each day.

Hydrating Sheet masks
Sheet masks have only really become a bit of a phenomenon in the UK over the past year or so, originating from the Korean beauty industry, women are now swapping their much loved clay masks in favor of these easy to use, no mess masks. There are countless hydrating sheet masks available on the market at varying price tags all promoting similar benefits for the skin, and with hyaluronic acid acting as the key ingredient, this allows your skin to enjoy a super-hydrating facial leaving your complexion plump and fresh.

Facial Sprays
Hydrating facial sprays are perfect for busy woman who need to top up their skin hydration levels on the go. A quick spritz all over the face and neck instantly gives you a glowing complexion, eliminates that tight feeling and allows your skin to breathe. These can be found most places, from high end brands to drugstore.

Rosehip Oil
Rosehip oil is a naturally rich source of essential fatty acids that re-hydrate dry, sun damaged skin and help to improve the appearance of wrinkles, scars, burns and stretch marks. Used regularly, it can completely change the look and feel of your skin, rejuvenating and kick-starting those skin cells.
