Looking after your skin during the winter months

With the last of the autumn leaves falling, nights drawing in, and Christmas decorations already appearing in shop windows, it’s definitely starting to feel a lot like winter. With plummeting temperatures, our skin is often the first winter victim. SkinBase has come up with four tips to understand how we can aide our skin in the transition from autumn to winter. Keep using suncream Although balmy summer days are long gone, and you’ve more chance of meeting Justin Bieber than seeing the sun again, it’s still important to protect yourself from winter rays and wear sunscreen at all times of the year. By protecting your skin, you’re also slowing down wrinkles and premature ageing, so it’s really a no brainer! Switch from lotions to creams It’s proven that creams are better at moisturising the skin than lotions during the winter months. Throughout the summer, a lotion can feel a lot lighter on the skin but during winter a little extra moisture is needed for the skin. Creams can feel much denser on the skin, therefore providing a greater protection from the bitter outside temperatures. Reduce bath and shower time With the shorter daylight hours, a long candlelit soak in the bath may seem like the most appealing option, but this may not be the best choice for your skin. Shorter showers, a lukewarm bath and patting the skin dry are key to locking moisture into the skin. Followed by an all over body moisturise to keep skin hydrated. Find Your Local…

With the last of the autumn leaves falling, nights drawing in, and Christmas decorations already appearing in shop windows, it’s definitely starting to feel a lot like winter. With plummeting temperatures, our skin is often the first winter victim. SkinBase has come up with four tips to understand how we can aide our skin in the transition from autumn to winter.

Keep using suncream

Although balmy summer days are long gone, and you’ve more chance of meeting Justin Bieber than seeing the sun again, it’s still important to protect yourself from winter rays and wear sunscreen at all times of the year. By protecting your skin, you’re also slowing down wrinkles and premature ageing, so it’s really a no brainer!

Switch from lotions to creams

It’s proven that creams are better at moisturising the skin than lotions during the winter months. Throughout the summer, a lotion can feel a lot lighter on the skin but during winter a little extra moisture is needed for the skin. Creams can feel much denser on the skin, therefore providing a greater protection from the bitter outside temperatures.

Reduce bath and shower time

With the shorter daylight hours, a long candlelit soak in the bath may seem like the most appealing option, but this may not be the best choice for your skin. Shorter showers, a lukewarm bath and patting the skin dry are key to locking moisture into the skin. Followed by an all over body moisturise to keep skin hydrated.

Prepare for the festive season

Party season is just around the corner and it’s easy to forget about your skin and concentrate on your outfit and makeup instead. With the excesses typical of the festive season; copious amounts of alcohol, lack of sleep and plentiful rich overindulgent food (to name a few) we can often leave our skin looking tired. For some, this can result in painful cold sores or acne. If we are aware of the effects on our skin, we can prepare with a daily skin care regime, including a course of microdermabrasion in the lead-up, never skipping the moisturiser and getting plenty of sleep whenever we can.

If you follow our four top tips, you are sure to have beautiful, glowing skin this winter!

Kick start your festive skincare and find your nearest SkinBase therapist in just a couple of minutes.

Good luck!

Rebecca Willshee Nail and Beauty Specialist

Testimonial: “JC was so low, suicidal at points. Sore, red, angry, his skin was awful, we had tried everything and doctors you name it. We reached out to Becky, who was wonderful. My son was quiet and withdrawn, lacked confidence and self esteem, and locked himself away from the world. Becky booked us in for a consultation to discuss different options of treatments and we decided the new hydro treatment would be the best option. We started the course and JC was nervous but Becky was great with him talking him through everything, step by step! As we went each time JC’s skin got better and better, but also the difference in him was huge, he was gaining confidence, shoulders back, head held high. We have watched his skin change from this red, aggressive, angry skin that was sore, acne was debilitating to him but now he is confident, holds his head up high and has even got his first job! We are so proud. When we met Becky I felt confident she would help us get his skin better and back on track but what has actually happened is skin looks amazing but to see our son gain confidence has been the biggest win! Teens often get pushed aside, put on string meds and told “it’s just your age” but this isn’t what they want to hear, but The SkinBase treatments Becky has done has changed his life! We cannot thank you enough Becky! JC is continuing with the treatments as it still gets the odd breakouts but the scarring is still improving week in week out. The hydro Facial is just amazing and we cannot recommend it enough and of course Becky and her passion for skin and helping people is wonderful!”
