It seems that the British winter is dragging itself out for as long as possible and it’s starting to take its toll on a lot of skins. The cold weather can have a drastic effect on the condition of your skin – freezing temperatures and cold winds can dry the skin leaving it vulnerable and more susceptible to damage. Then, when go inside to warm up your central heating can dehydrate your skin further. So, here are some winter survival tips to keep you fresh faced and see you through to summer! 1. Add an exfoliator to your skin care routine once or twice a week. Even I you smother your skin with a lovely rich cream, you still might notice dry and itchy patches, this could be because you aren’t exfoliating enough. Exfoliating removes the layer of dead skin cells that sits on the skin’s surface preventing your skin from getting the benefit of your products. Indulge in a skin brightening Collin Resultime exfoliator to leave the skin smooth and enjoy healthy radiant skin once more. 2. Beware of drying products. For many people there is nothing more comforting than a long soak in a warm bubble bath to soak away winter chills. However, those bubbles might be causing more harm than good. Bubble baths, soaps and shower gels typically contain drying soap and alcohol, which can strip your skin of moisture. Instead try some bath milks or oils and hydrate your whole body afterwards with a creamy body lotion from the Collin Resultime Body range. 3. Accept change. As the weather changes, so does our skin. So now might be the right time to reassess your skin. If you have noticed some significant changes to your skin lately, maybe the onset of dry patches, dehydration or itchiness, your skin might be craving some new ingredients. Make an appointment for a Skin Analysis with your Collin Resultime therapist right now and she will advise you on exactly what your skin needs. 4. Skincare in your sleep. A good nighttime boost for your skin will leave you waking up to a radiant, healthy face. Weather you choose and specific night cream or one of Collin Resultime’s exclusive ‘Sleep Masks’ you will be giving your skin the perfect chance to restore moisture, rejuvenate the skin cells and erase lines and wrinkles.
