Nurture your skin through this winter

As we head into the coldest part of winter, spare a thought for the skin on your face.

While we’re braving the cold, chilly winds or driving rain, and then returning to the warmth of heated offices or homes, the temperature extremes take their toll, often resulting in dry, dull and taut skin.

The effects can be exacerbated by the fact we’re prone to drinking less water at this time of year, so all in all, it’s a time to focus on taking very good care of the skin you’re in.

The skincare experts at local Kerikeri company, Living Nature, recommends gentle, natural products to help protect skin and boost hydration, plus dedicated care for very sensitive skin that can feel even more stressed during the colder weather.

To restore and protect skin from winter’s damage, it’s important to follow a good basic skincare routine with a gentle cleanser, non-drying toner such as Living Nature’s Extra Hydrating Toning Gel and a nourishing day cream, plus nurturing products like Living Nature’s Lip Hydrator and Firming Flax Serum daily and a nourishing mask once or twice a week.

Use warm, not hot water on your face and avoid rough scrubbing or dragging of skin when you’re cleansing.

Don’t forget to nourish the rest of your body too - Living Nature’s Ultra Rich Body Cream is a luxurious, nutrient-rich cream that deeply nourishes, soothes and conditions the skin.

Your skin will love you for it.
