Three Steps to Stronger Winter Skin

We know it's technically not winter until December, but the last couple of weeks have definitely felt like it here in Ireland! 

It's been raining more often than not, the heating's finally on, and just like the trees lose their leaves, our skin can start to lose some of its glow. 

Here's three steps to keep your skin strong and healthy all winter long. 

As we settle into cosy season, adding in a step or two beyond basic moisturising can make all the different, helping your skin stay hydrated, resilient and radiant, no matter what the weather's doing! 

Three Steps to Stronger Winter Skin

1. Gentle Exfoliation

If your skin's feeling dry it might seem like the last thing it needs, but gentle exfoliation actually helps your moisturising products work better. 

By clearing away dead skin cells, you're allowing hydration to reach where it needs to go. 

Try Eqqualberry's Swimming Pool Toner - a gentle exfoliant with 8 types of hyaluronic acid to flood your skin with moisture and keep it feeling soft, not stripped. 

2. Layer it up

Sneaking in a layer or two before you apply your moisturiser can make all the difference.

Look for humectants - ingredients that act like magnets, pulling water deep into your skin. Favourites include hyaluronic acid and panthenol, both hydration heroes. 

Try K-Secret's Snail Mucin Essence - K-beauty loves a multitasker, and this one not only locks in moisture but also helps brighten skin and repair a damaged barrier...more of that below. 

3. Barrier Care

Lock in all that hydration with a barrier-supporting moisturiser. 

K-Beauty routines focus on low-irritation formulas and steps that strengthen and protect your. skin barrier - the key to healthy, resilient skin. 

Try Dr Althea's 147 Barrier Cream, a lightweight gel-cream that soothes inflammation, reinforces your skin's natural defences, and delivery lasting comfort and protection for a calm, healthy glow. 

As the weather turns colder and the heating goes up, a little extra care goes a long way. Your skin deserves to feel as cosy and nourished as the rest of you this season.
