Remember, Remember... To look after your skin this winter!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 22, 2011 -- I think everyone has experienced their skin to become dry and flaky during the winter period at least once in their life, with our central heating on full blast, the cold harsh wind on our bare skin, the heat from our 5th November Bonfires... But you do not need to suffer this winter if you follow my tips.

1. Moisturise your skin more often

Your usual moisturiser may work perfectly fine in the spring and summer. But as weather conditions change, so should your skin care routine! I recommend finding a moisturiser that is oil-based, rather than just water-based. This is because the oil will create an actual protective layer on the skin that is able to retain more moisture than a cream or lotion. (A handy hint, many lotions that are labelled "night creams" are oil based!)

Yet I know some people may worry that heavy creams may clog their pores and create another problem for themselves. This is why you should look for "non-clogging oils" such as avocado oil, mineral oil, primrose oil, or almond oil. Please try to avoid any Shea oil or butter, or vegetable shortening, as they both will just clog the facial pores and sit on your skin giving your a greasy feeling.

2. Slap on the Sunscreen

You may think that sunscreen is just for the summer, but it really isn't! The winter sun combined with snow glare, can still danage your skin. You should try to apply a good SPF sunscreen to your face and hands (if they are unlucky to be exposed) about 30 minutes, as you would do in the summer time, before going outside. Reapply if you plan to spend a lot of time outside.

3. See an Expert!

If you were to go into your local drug store, you'll be hard put to find a salesperson who could actual give you good advice about what products you should buy. This is why I would highly recommend coming and seeing one of our Skin Experts at Beautology. Our experts are able to analyse your skin type, find out where your trouble areas are, ask about your skin care regime and finally give you good advice about how you could go about avoiding having dry skin and advice on the correct skin care products you should be using this winter.
