Stay Radiant This Winter
Katie Hailes; Model & Trained Beauty Holistic Therapist
During the cold winter months you ' ll need to change your beauty routine.
1. Starting with facial products. Make sure to use the correct cleanser, toner & moisturiser for your skin type.
Don ' t forget to exfoliate at least once a week & treat your face to a relaxing, soothing fac mask. My top tip is to make your own. Honey & Oats can make a perfect deep cleansing exfoliating treatment.
2. Apply body lotion daily to lock in moisture & avoid dry skin. Look for lotions with olive extract or avocado oil to boost the skins moisture barrier.
3. Dry chapped lips can be a painful & annoying problem during winter time. Use a rich moisturising lip balm with Vitamin E & any balm containing tea trea oil which helps to soot & heal those cracks & maintain kissable puckers.
4. It can be easy to neglect our hands & feet in the winter. So for intense relief from dry, flaky chapped skin moisturise both at night & slip on gloves / socks to lock in. Use some vaseline in the morning on the dryer bits of skin.
5. Suffering from dry fizzy hair? Resist the urge to over use hair dryers / straghteners as the heat will only make things worse! If you must, turn down the heat settings & use a coconut gloss spray. Treat your hair twice a week to a intense conditioning mask or my cheaper tip, any coconut or olive based 99p conditioner. Cake your hair with it & cover with cling film. Keep your head warm; this will open the hair cuticle & lock in the moisture even more.... so no need to pay salon prices when this can be done in the comfort of your own home at a very low cost.
6. Just because the sun is gone, doesn ' t mean you can ' t have glowing skin. Winter is the perfect time to use an instant bronzing oil to give skin a golden glow & intense moisture boost!
Remember to exfoliate beforehand to avoid blotchy patches.
When applying to the face blend or use a fake tan with equal amounts of moisturiser as you only want one shade darker to your own colour.
