The chilly winds and dehydrating heaters create a battle-field for your poor skin over winter, so we have come up with the best advice on how to protect everything from your lips to the tips of your fingers.
Find out how to keep your skin look and feel healthy and keep you glowing this winter.
One of the most important tips is to drink plenty of water and keep your skin hydrated too with quality skincare products. A good tip is to check the ingredients and check the reviews.
Dehydration is known as the enemy of radiant skin and can increase the ageing process by making your skin look dull.
Water forms a critical barrier to the body’s external environment, skin becomes dehydrated when there is a lack of water in the top layer of the skin. In order to rehydrate skin a combination of ingredients need to work together to nourish and act as an emollient barrier on the skin to address dehydration and fight against the physical signs of ageing.
The Ellus & Krue Hydrating Day Defence uses a range of key active ingredients including Squalane, Aloe Vera, Coconut Oil and my favourite, Macadamia Oil, which combine to help retain moisture in your skin.
