Got my winter coat out this weekend🥶& also got reminded its time to tweak my skincare routine for the change of seasons…

Lower humidity, harsh winds, and dry indoor heat is approaching. SADLY, these conditions draw moisture away from the skin and can read havoc on us ITCHY BITCHEZ. I’ve already noticed dryness, irritation, and redness occurring more often (especially going from cold to hot environments!!).

How am I changing my routine to accommodate this season change?⬇️

I am going to double up on moisture by applying HA/ moisturizer then a few drops of serum after moisturising my skin.

MOISTURISER – either @superdrugpr’s intense moisturising cream, @hadalabotokyo_uk’s REPAIR NIGHT CREAM or if it’s super cold @epadermuk’s Ointment 

SERUM – always @balmonds_skincare’s Rosehip Scar oil

👄 My lips are my worst affected area atm, keep getting super dry within minutes of going outside! Turns out this happens because our lips don’t have oil glands (meaning they can’t produce their own moisture). SO, I AM GOING TO BE BRINGING A LIP BALM EVERYWHERE WITH ME.

Also I’m gonna restart my pamper sessions. I’ll paint a picture; I’ll have Netflix playing, I’ll turn on my diffuser (to prevent air dryness), a cup of tea and A HYDRATING FACE MASK/pack. Probs like once a week, @garnier, @drjart & @perlcosmetics are my fave brands for that!

I feel the importance of adjusting your skincare routine for seasonal change is too often overlooked. It’s well documented that the transition from summer to colder temperatures, our skin can be more prone to dryness, irritation, and redness. So I’m reviewing mine and making a change!

Probs more to come but thought I’d share this brain dump 🧠unrelated pics from a cute weekend.

Love always,
