Hereโ€™s our go-to guide for winter-proofing your skin.

CLEANSING IS KEY

If you wear a lot of makeup, use a gentle makeup remover or micellar water to dissolveโ€จit before you cleanse. Soak a cotton pad and carefully wipe it across your face, especially around the eyes and lips, to take off foundation, mascara, and other pore-clogging beauty products.

Follow with a quality hydrating cleanser that is both kind and gentle to your skin. Always try and go for products packed with soothing ingredients that cleanse while nourishing the skin.

SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water

$16.99 Garnier from Chemist Warehouse

Key factors:

  • Offers fast and effective cleansing
  • Dissolves make-up

HYDRATION KNOW-HOW

Lock in extra moisture with rich night creams that help nourish your skin while you sleep. For best results, apply to slightly damp skin, as right after cleansing your complexion is more receptive to added moisture. โ€จ

By applying a hydrating moisturiser or serum in the evening while your skin still feels a little damp, you create a barrier that helps lock in hydration and prevents any pesky dryness.
