Moisture-Locking Must Haves
Skin hydration is important 365 days a year, but it’s especially important in the winter when cold temperatures and central heating can leave things parched and dry. To combat these effects, start with a cleanser like Eve Lom’s Foaming Cream Cleanser. Some foaming options can strip the skin, but this lathers up into a gentle foam that is clinically proven to hydrate the skin for up to 12 hours. And don’t think that all toners will leave things dry and tight either: Dermalogica’s Multi-Active Toner helps to lock in moisture while refreshing and leaves skin prepped for a science-backed serum to get to work, and they don’t get much better than the Omnipotent Concentrate from Orveda, which works on a cellular level to repair the skin and future-proof it from further damage. Elemis’ Pro-Collagen Marine Oil will give a big dose of hydration and help to lock everything in and don’t forget (even in the depths of winter where days are short) to finish with an SPF since UV damage can cause further skin harm and dryness. Clarins’ Super Restorative Day Cream is the perfect finishing touch: a rich but lightweight product with the added benefit of sun protection.Â
