Winter has well and truly hit the southern states of Australia with cold wind blasts and chilly temperatures. The effects of the wind, heating and general lack of moisture in the air can wreak havoc on your skin. Our skin adjusts to help combat these effects, but it does need help and this is why we’ve put together our favourite picks for your face this Winter.
The key to looking after your face in Winter is picking a good moisturiser. A lot of people tend to buy heavier moisturisers thinking the additional weight and thickness of creams means it’ll hydrate your skin better. But I think it’s a fallacy as a lot of people overcompensate and find that their skin becomes a lot oilier.
The other great thing to have is a serum. A serum is formulated to penetrate deeper into the skin to delivery key ingredients and target specific skin needs. You can use a serum (only a small amount) before applying your moisturiser.
