Why this worksCold weather can strip moisture from your skin, leading to a lacklustre appearance. By using the right techniques, you can hydrate, exfoliate, and nourish your skin, bringing back that warm glow. It’s all about layering moisture and choosing products that work with your skin’s needs during these dry months.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Exfoliate Regularly Use a gentle body scrub or exfoliating mitt once or twice a week. This removes dead skin cells, allowing your skin to absorb moisture better and appear more radiant.
  2. Hydrating Body Wash Swap your regular body wash for a hydrating formula. Look for ones with nourishing oils or butters to keep your skin soft while you cleanse.
  3. Moisturise Immediately Apply a rich body moisturiser right after showering to lock in hydration. Focus on areas prone to dryness, like elbows and knees, for a more even glow.
  4. Use Body Oils Incorporate a nourishing body oil into your routine. Apply it on damp skin for an extra layer of moisture that enhances your natural glow.
  5. Self-Tanner for a Radiant Hue Consider a gradual self-tanner to add warmth and a sun-kissed look. Apply in even layers and wash your hands immediately after to avoid streaks.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip exfoliation, thinking it’s unnecessary in winter, but it’s crucial for removing dead skin. Others apply moisturiser on dry skin, which can lead to a greasy feel without effective hydration. Don’t forget to choose products that are rich and nourishing, rather than lightweight.

The pro moveFor an extra glow, mix a few drops of body oil into your moisturiser before applying.
