EDITOR’S LETTER
hristmas is just around the corner.
But before then, we’ve got Hal-
loween and 5th November cele-
brations to look forward to. That’s a lot
of outdoor activities in cold, damp
weather, and that kind of exposure can
wreak havoc on your skin. To help keep
your cheeks rosy without the dryness,
we’re giving you some great tips and
advice on keeping your skin plump and
hydrated. We look at the benefits of sheet
masks for extra hydration, and examine
the importance of drinking water in
Winter rather than your go-to cup of
coffee or tea.
For the one in two of us that suffer from
some degree of adult acne, the cold
weather can also cause unwanted flare-
ups. Just when you felt like you had your
skin under control and breakouts were
down to a minimum, the temperature
drops and your skin starts to react. We’ve
put together a handy guide to acne which
should help you diagnose the type you
have, what causes it, and what you can do
to help soothe or get rid of it completely.
In the run-up to party season, more and
more of us are considering an in-clinic
treatment or procedure. If you’re new to
the world of aesthetic treatments, or
simply looking for a new treatment to try
out, we ask our resident aesthetic nurse,
Yvonne Senior, some probing questions
about what treatments can give us instant
gratification, and what to do if we react
to a new treatment.
And finally, our contributing writer, Shari
Shallard, has been experimenting with a
DCL New World Collection serum to
find out if one product really can change
your skin. Get the full account of Shari’s
experience over on page 30. Once you’ve
read it, we think you just might fall in love
with this wonder serum!
Enjoy the holiday season, and have a
wonderful new year.
Here’s to a prosperous 2018!
