Prep your skin for spring: post-winter skin fixes
The chillier months may well have brought with them a host of skincare evils (particularly central heating, harsh winds and plummeting temperatures) and as Spring approaches, winter has probably left your skin dehydrated, irritated and dull.
Deep exfoliation, hyaluronic acid and anti-oxidising creams are all your friends when it comes to beating the effects of winter-skin. We also recommend ditching the makeup wipes (cleanse with Micellar Water instead) and investing in a good humidifier for your bedroom if you're still blasting the heating. Drinking plenty of water is always a quick win, too.
So, if you've been chapping and cracking with the frost, fear not. Here are our ultimate post-winter-skin saviours to leave skin feeling nourished, plumped and refreshed.
