Changes in the weather means changes to your skincare too

This time of year can really take its toll on our skin. We are reminded about the importance of using sun protection during the summer months but often forget the impact cold harsh winds and central heating can have.

Skin feels tight and often looks dull, flaky and tired. Take a look at our tips to caring for your skin during winter…

Invest in a great moisturiser and night cream

Combat these weather changes with a richer moisturiser and invest in a good night cream. External elements can lead to capillary damage so protect with strengthening/anti-inflammatory products with UV protection. Serums applied beneath your moisturiser can help to recharge your skin and provide further protection.

Care for your skin with a weekly hydrating mask

Apply a weekly cream mask to rehydrate and rejuvenate the skin, restoring lustre and condition.

Adjust your heating

Central heating can have a massive impact on your skin. To avoid dryness caused by central heating systems, install a humidifier in your home and office to ensure that moisture is evenly distributed throughout your surroundings.

Exfoliate to keep skin clean and free from dead skin cells

For maximum effect ensure you exfoliate on a regular basis(weekly) to eliminate the surface dead skin cells. This allows for products to penetrate more effectively helping to maintain a smooth clear complexion

Treat yourself to a microdermabrasion facial

Treat yourself to a professional Skinbase Microdermabrasion treatment at your nearest salon. Ultra fine crystals are jetted on to the skin to exfoliate the top layer away. Skin feels incredibly clean and silky soft. Benefits can be felt after one treatment but a short course of 3 is a fantastic booster this time of year for a truly polished and rejuvenated complexion.

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 My son was quiet and withdrawn, lacked confidence and self esteem, and locked himself away from the world.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!”
