Q.

How do I restore glow to my tired winter skin?

A:

The combination of cold weather and central heating can cause our skin to become dehydrated and dull. For a healthy, glowing complexion a consistent routine pays dividends. You need to ensure you thoroughly cleanse, massaging in the product to boost circulation providing a good glow, and removing any dead skin cells. We would recommence following these three simple steps both AM and PM:

1. Cleanse with our delicate foaming cleanser to remove makeup and pollution, revealing brighter, clearer and calmer skin
2. Hydrate and reduce pigmentation with our innovative Vitamin C Repair Serum.
3. Address your skin’s natural bounce with our peptide rich Collagen Boost Moisturiser.
4. Apply SPF in the AM to protect the skin against the dulling, ageing effects of UV.

If you want an extra layer of glow on grey days, we recommend applying 2-3 drops of Gradual Tanning Drops into your moisturiser. Alternatively apply a couple of drops of Radiance Face Oil after moisturising at night. Massage the oil into the skin in an upward lifting motion applying firm pressure to help detoxify the skin and boost circulation and lymph drainage.

Don’t forget to stay hydrated, drinking plenty of water and taking it easy with alcohol and caffeine
