The glow rescuers
As well as moisture loss, our skin becomes prone to dullness and texture issues throughout the cooler months. ‘Exfoliation is vital in keeping skin healthy as it removes dead cells, which will help brighten the complexion,’ explains dermatologist Dr Salome Dharamshi. ‘If these dead cells are left to build up on the surface of the skin, it can lead to a rougher and more uneven appearance.’ Dr Dharamshi recommends incorporating antioxidants, including vitamin C, into your routine to help improve texture, as well as signs of hyperpigmentation. There’s also a wave of skincare treatments, all specifically designed to bring back a glowy complexion.
Treatments to try:
FaceGym Signature Sculpt, £80 for 45 mins (go to facegym.com for booking details)
Facial massage is one of the fastest ways to bring a fresh, radiant appearance to the skin: fact. A fave of Bella Hadid, Selena Gomez and Lizzo, FaceGym’s signature treatment involves ‘muscle manipulation techniques’ to aid circulation and lymphatic drainage while simultaneously contouring your face.
HydraFacial x Murad Booster, From £300 for 60 mins
(go to hydrafacial.co.uk/brand/ murad for booking details)
Known as the ‘vacuum facial’, HydraFacial has now teamed up with cult skincare brand Murad. Each session starts with a skin-imaging analysis to identify concerns and pair you with a suitable Murad skin booster – its Vita-C complex, for example. The good bit: dislodging dirt from pores with a (painless) suction pen that’s truly satisfying, alongside hydradermabrasion, an acid peel and extractions.
