Why this worksIn winter, the air tends to be drier, which can lead to moisture loss in your skin. A well-structured morning skincare routine helps to lock in hydration and protect your skin from environmental stressors. Layering products effectively can create a barrier against the cold, ensuring your skin remains supple and healthy.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Cleanse Start with a gentle cleanser to remove any impurities from the night. Look for hydrating formulas that won't strip your skin of its natural moisture.
  2. Tone Apply a hydrating toner to prep your skin for the next steps. Toners with ingredients like rose water or glycerin can boost hydration and refresh your complexion.
  3. Moisturise Choose a rich moisturiser that suits your skin type. This will help to lock in moisture and provide a protective layer against the winter chill.
  4. Sunscreen Even in winter, sunscreen is a must. A broad-spectrum SPF will protect your skin from UV rays, which can still penetrate through clouds and reflect off snow.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip the toner, thinking it's unnecessary, while others use harsh cleansers that can dry out the skin. Forgetting sunscreen is also common, as winter sun damage can be just as harmful as in summer. Always layer products appropriately for maximum benefit.

The pro moveConsider using a facial oil as the last step for extra hydration and a dewy finish.
