As the winter months approach, your skin faces new challenges—dryness, redness, and irritation due to cold winds and indoor heating. At Newcastle Skin Shop, we believe in a science-backed approach to keeping your skin hydrated and glowing all season long. Here are our top winter skincare tips, recommended by Nurse Luisa Scott, to protect and nourish your skin during the colder months.
1. Hydrate with a Powerful Serum
When the temperature drops, hydration is key. Opt for a high-performance serum like Medik8 Hydr8 B5. This serum is enriched with hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5, providing intense moisture that deeply penetrates the skin, leaving it plump and refreshed.
- How to Use: Apply 3-4 drops morning and night on cleansed skin before your moisturiser.
- Why It Works: Hyaluronic acid can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, making it perfect for locking in moisture during the winter months.
2. Choose a Gentle Cleanser
Harsh cleansers can strip your skin of its natural oils, exacerbating dryness and redness. Instead, use La Roche Posay Toleriane Dermo-Cleanser, which is formulated to gently cleanse while maintaining your skin’s barrier.
- How to Use: Massage onto damp skin and rinse with lukewarm water.
- Why We Recommend It: This cleanser is ideal for sensitive skin, reducing inflammation and redness.
3. Boost Your Skin’s Barrier with Nutrient-Rich Supplements
Healthy skin starts from within. Drinking Skinade, a collagen-boosting supplement, can enhance skin elasticity, hydration, and reduce fine lines. Formulated with marine collagen peptides, vitamin C, and essential omegas, it’s your winter skin’s best friend.
- How to Use: Drink one bottle daily for optimal results.
- Why It Works: Skinade promotes collagen production, essential for skin repair and hydration.
4. Don’t Skip the Sunscreen
It’s a common misconception that sunscreen is only for summer. Winter sun can be equally damaging. We recommend Avene Very High Protection SPF50+ for non-greasy, broad-spectrum protection.
This winter, focus on hydration, gentle cleansing, and boosting your skin from the inside out. By incorporating these tips and using the right products, you can maintain a healthy, radiant complexion throughout the colder months.
