Winter’s here! It’s a bit like Marmite though, you either love it or hate it. With temperatures dropping fast and winter apparel ready to layer us up so we can brave the weather, we divert our attention to our skin. Most areas will be hiding beneath knitwear but some of our skin will inevitably be exposed.
Granted the surface area in this season will be smaller but our skin, whether it’s new to the world or mature, will need to be taken care of. Here are some of our essential Models Direct tips to help keep your skin looking and feeling good despite the harsh weather conditions. None of our tips will break your bank either as we’re always offering advice with a budget in mind. Let’s go!
Use a bamboo face cloth
Using a face cloth is a good idea that skincare experts, models and celebs swear by and bamboo is the perfect material for sensitive skin. It’s great to boost oxygenated blood to the skin’s surface, and gently exfoliate and remove dead skin cells. It’s rejuvenating but should be done as gently as possible.
Cleanse
Okay, so we reckon you’re already aware of the common three-step routine – cleanse, tone and moisturise? Well, you’re not wrong in thinking that we’ve included these steps in this blog because we have! Cleansing is great for unblocking clogged pores and rid of impurities even in the winter period. Use gentle and natural (as much as possible) ingredients to protect your skin.
Tone
Just as you’d tone your body with exercise, your skin needs the same treatment to firm it up! Again, look for natural ingredients so you don’t irritate your skin no matter what your age is.
Moisturise
This is the most notable point that should always be included in your skincare regardless of the season! With the central heating and your thick layers on, your skin can become dehydrated and feel quite sad over the winter months. Don’t give your skin more of a hard time than it’s already experiencing. Reach for a hydrating moisturiser which contains fewer chemicals than the leading brands.
And there you have it: our Models Direct tops tips for helping your skin feel winter-ready.
Bottom line: Keep feeling good and yes, you can take care of your care on a budget with all the skincare suggestions we’ve written about.
