Winter skincare SORTED!
When I think of winter, I think of roaring res, warm, cosy clothes and cold nights. I love wrapping up at this time of year and enjoying a hot port on a cold, wet weekend! The dark evenings bring with them evenings at home when we can relax and unwind. While there’s nothing better than being nice and cosy, it can play havoc with your skin, so we need to take a look at what we are using on our skin and tailor it to the changing weather and dropping temperatures.
The constant heating inside and the cold, windy weather outside can lead to some serious dehydration. To prevent this, you will need to add an extra boost of hydration into your routine. A brand I am absolutely loving is the Irish made Nyrah Beauty Hyaluronic Acid Serum (€63) which contains three di erent molecular weight hyaluronic acids, to ensure maximum hydration of the skin, leaving it moisturised, repaired, protected and naturally glowing. Used morning and evening under your moisturiser, it will transform the feel and texture of your skin. Before I move on I want to give you a little background on Nyrah Beauty. The company was created by Rani Dabrai. After a visit to a beauty counter, Rani felt that she was becoming invisible after turning 40 and decided it was not the world she wanted to live in so she set to work creating a new luxury skincare range for women 40+, designed to respect, enhance and embrace the female body in all its glory. I have been using the range for the past month and can con rm that the products are amazing!
For an extra boost during this time of year, I would de nitely include a hydrating sheet mask into your skincare routine once every two weeks. My absolute favourite are the Seoulista Beauty Instant Facials (€8.99) masks. They contain 25ml of potent serum to provide intense hydration to quench dry and dehydrated skin. The high-performance formula is packed with vitamins, which deeply nourish the skin and prevent the signs of ageing. Once you start using these masks, you will be hooked! They have also just launched a new Wellbeing Kit (€30) that includes a mask, a magic cleanse mitt, Rosy hands instant manicure and Rosy toes pedicure. It is the perfect pamper night-in kit!
Now that we have your skin fully hydrated, we want to keep that glow going all day. I keep the skin light so I am using the Ayu Glow Easy Highlight (€20) every day to keep my skin looking bright and fresh. The dewy formula will glide on the skin easily and will blend seamlessly to create a perfect and radiant complexion, without any harsh lines. Simply sweep across your cheeks for a beautifully sheer and radiant highlight or apply under your base to give an extra glow to your foundation.
I hope you have a lovely Christmas and stay safe.
