When the Weather changes, a change in your Skincare routine is often necessary.  Central heating, strong winds, and the central heating that keeps you cosy can really deplete the skin of it's moisture.  So if your skin is misbehaving, simply let Caroline's make-up mantra below, guide you through those dry (and wet!) days.

 

Happy new year everyone, I hope it brings health and happiness to you all!

If you're like me and struggling to keep your skin looking and feeling fresh in this chilly weather then here are some simple tips to winter proof your look!

For skin that's feeling dry and flaky and little bedraggled from the cold wind, treat it to some gentle exfoliating followed by a nice rich moisturiser applied to damp skin.

An extra rich cream or a salve is great to smother on your face whilst out in the bad weather too, it will help protect it from the cold wind and drizzle, like a big soft scarf around your face!!  Opt for tinted moisturisers instead of heavy foundations to keep your skin nourished whilst keeping a nice naturally dewy look to your face.
