YOUR BEST WINTER SKINCARE ROUTINE

Often with the change in seasons, dry winds, colder weather, air conditioning, and not enough water our skin can tend to lose moisture and dry out. Our winter skincare routine is designed to restore hydration to your skin. Good skin requires consistency and adapting to any changes in your environment or skin, but this winter skincare routine should have you looking like a dewy dumpling in no time.

MORNING 

1. CLEANSE – If needed. Something lighter in the mornings is always nice or that is easy to rinse off in the shower. We are loving:

• The Mara Algae Enzyme Cleansing Oil – super light, oil, rinses with water. One of our best selling products.
• The Lilfox Amazon after dark – slightly more nourishing, rinses off easily with water, I am using this at the moment and love it.
  

2. HYDRATE with a face mist. These are an often underrated product for dry skin. They add amazing hydration, leaving skin plump and dewy and better able to absorb serums etc. can use throughout the day to add hydration. Great if you work inside in A/C, keep one on your desk. We are loving:
   - The Wildcrafted Organics Rose Mist - smells incredible!
   - The Lilfox Aphrodite Rose toning mist

3. HYDRATE – With a Vitamin C Serum – a vitamin c serum is a great winter addition, helps restore hydration as well as assisting to repair any damage caused by the sun over the summer months. We love:

 - Wildcrafted Organics Wild Plum Illuminating c Serum

• The Agent Nateur Vitamin c powder combined with their Holi Water
• The Lilfox Haute C serum – this one is amazing for brightening.
  

4. EYES – During the colder months many feel dryness around the eye area. Its important to keep this delicate area hydrated. We love:

• The Cecilia Holistic Beauty Golden Glow Baume Yeaux – this is SO hydrating and brightening. One of my all time favourite eye products.
• The Agent Nateur – Ageless eye serum – lighter consistency than the one above, but great for hydrating and brightening the under eye.

5. NOURISH – You can now finish off with your favourite face oil or mosituriser depending on what you prefer. Some options:

• The Mara Universal face oil - Hydrating but light.
• The Agent Nateur Ageless Face serum - Amazing!
• Le Prunier Plum Beauty Oil – if you love a simple beauty routine you can get away with just this product.
• The Therapi Ultra radiance mosituriser– this is a rich thick cream moisturiser, if you need hydration in buckets you will LOVE this.
  For some added glow, add a drop of your favourite face oil to your foundation.

Evening 

Always start your evening skincare ritual with a good cleanse. Make sure your current cleanser isn’t drying your skin out.
Often cheap gel cleansers can strip the skin of precious oils & will leave your skin dehydrated.
For all skin types, especially drier ones, oil cleansing is the way to go for the winter months.  After a good oil cleanse, your skin will be left  balanced, clean and hydrated.

CLEANSE – if you have opted for a light cleanser in your morning routine, a more nourishing oil cleanser for night is the way to go. Helps to remove and makeup, dirt and debris from your day and leaves your skin nourished and hydrated. Take your time with this step, give your skin a good massage while your cleansing and your skin will be left soft and glowing. For night cleansing we love:

• Wildcrafted Organics Neroli Cleansing oil– this smells incredible, has a beautiful texture and I feel like I have gone to a spa whenever I use it. I LOVE this one.
• The Shiva Rose Blue Butter Cleansing balm – this is a balm like texture that melts to oil and you warm it up in your hands, smells incredible, leaves your skin so soft.

HYDRATE. – As above with your mist of choice. At night these are great for not only hydration but soothing any irritation from the day, and allows your serums to absorb better. 

HYDRATE – As for morning with your Vitamin C

EYES – As for morning.

NOURISH – Night time is a great time for a night time treatment oil to help repair overnight. We love:

• The Wildcrafted Organics Bakuchiol Serum – so good for anyone concerned with fine lines etc, great at refining skin texture.
• The Lilfox Dewy Bean Dream – this is a dream for waking up with plump dewy skin in the morning. I love this one.
• The Mara Algae Retinol face oil– again great for fine lines, skin texture and any aging concerns.

Weekly Treatment

Once or twice per week depending on your skin  treat yourself to a good exfoliation. During the winter months it is important to gently remove the build up of dead skin cells, to allow all your products to absorb more effectively. This will also nourish and brighten your skin. We love:

• The Lilfox Jungle Glow – this is a beautiful exfoliator, smells great, gentle but looks like you’ve just had a microdermabrasion after without all the redness.Skin is fresh and glowing!
• The Wildcrafted Organics Wild Berry Honey Cleanser– can be used as a cleanser, exfoliant or masque so multi use which is great.
