THREE STEPS TO HAPPY WINTER SKIN

Velettà is a New Zealand-made natural skincare brand with a concise collection of six products made from pure, potent blends of plant oils and extracts. Creator Sarah Bacon says the range is perfect to nourish skin year round but comes into its own in the winter months.

“Winter is hard on the skin,’’ says Bacon. “Drying winds and harsh heating can draw moisture out of your skin, making it dry and scaly.

“To avoid this, add richness to your skincare routine.”

Bacon offers these three key steps to ensuring that your complexion is getting what it needs during the cooler season:

1 Switch to an oil cleanser. Velettà Cleansing Oil gently removes dirt, pollution and makeup but doesn’t strip the skin; your natural skin oils are preserved.

2 Use a humectant (substances that attract water from the air) and emollient-rich night cream like Velettà Youthful Glow Intensive Hydrating Treatment. It is filled with moisture-rich oils, squalane, aloe vera, Vitamin E and glycerine.

3 Seal in the moisture with Velettà Rejuvenating Oil, a delicately textured but nutrientrich essence packed with highly efficacious vitamins and fatty acids.
