Why this worksCooler temperatures can leave skin feeling dull and dry, but the right techniques can help revive its natural glow. By incorporating hydrating products and gentle exfoliation, you can boost skin cell turnover and enhance luminosity. It's all about giving your skin the TLC it needs to shine.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Gentle Exfoliation Start by using a mild exfoliant 1-2 times a week to slough off dead skin cells. This helps reveal a fresher layer of skin underneath, making your complexion appear brighter and more radiant.
  2. Hydrating Serum Apply a hydrating serum rich in ingredients like hyaluronic acid after cleansing. This draws moisture into the skin, plumping it up and giving you that dewy glow, perfect for the cooler months.
  3. Moisturise Wisely Choose a richer moisturiser that seals in hydration. Look for ingredients like ceramides or shea butter to create a barrier against dryness, ensuring your skin stays nourished and luminous all day.
  4. Glow-Boosting Oil Finish your routine with a few drops of a glow-boosting facial oil. This not only adds an extra layer of hydration but also gives your skin a subtle sheen, enhancing that healthy October glow.

Where people go wrong

Many skip exfoliation altogether, thinking it’s unnecessary for dry skin. Others might overdo it, leading to irritation. Remember, hydration is key—don’t just moisturise, layer it on for best results!

The pro moveTry mixing a drop of facial oil into your moisturiser for an extra boost of glow.
