Winter months bring cold temperatures, low humidity and dry indoor heating that can suck the life out of your complexion, leaving you with dull, flat and tired looking skin. These five simple steps can save your skin and make your complexion glow all winter long.
EXFOLIATE
Once or twice a week take time to slough of any dry, dead skin build up. This will stimulate new skin cell pro¬duction and allow the rest of your skin care products o work more effectively. TIP: To magnify effects, treat your skin to a hydrating mask afterwards.
MOISTURIZE
Winter is the time for rich creams, oint¬ments and balms. Serums and essen¬tial oils, used under your moisturizer, are the perfect additional treatment and protection for your skin.
DRINK UP
Keeping hydrated is essential for a glowing complexion – especially as the mercury drops. Going back and forth from the outside cold and the indoor heat causes constant water loss from the skin.
ILLUMINATE
For an instant radiant glow, try illuminating products that have irides¬cent and light-reflecting particles. Add some to your foundation for an all over subtle glow or apply directly to areas of your face that you want to highlight (top of the cheekbones, ridge of nose and/or chin).
GIVE YOUR SKIN ITS VITAMINS
Vitamin C serums are great for brightening the skin because they lighten any dark spots and give the skin a natural glow.
