Winter Skin Saviours
Protect & Nourish
your skin with these Clean Beauty Favourites
Winter is well and truly upon us and no matter what your skin type, the cooler temperatures and lower humidity levels can result in drier air that draws moisture away from your skin. On top of that, winter winds, exposure to cold temps and dry indoor heat can further stress skin in the chilly months. To help get your skin through the season there are things we can do to protect and hydrate our skin and it’s as simple as a few, easy little tweaks to your routine.
Optimise your skincare regime for the season
Let’s start with skincare. Overnight is a great time to give you skin a big drink and help it to recover from the day while you sleep. After your usual cleansing routine, opt for a serum that will provide your skin with nourishment. I particularly love serums that are formulated with various oils for this. And don’t worry if you have oily skin, I know it might seem counter intuitive, but even oily skin types can benefit greatly from using the right facial oils to help balance natural oil production.
One particular oil based serum that is wonderful for all skin types is the FLOWER AND SPICE Midnight Beauty Rich Revitalising Facial Serum. This gorgeous serum contains a perfectly crafted cocktail of 10 super-charged oils to help restore radiance, soften, smooth and renew while you sleep. Each oil has been picked for its individual properties and together they combine to create a nourishing, easily absorbed skin treat.
Give your skin a boost with a hydrating mask
To further boost the benefits of serums, especially in winter, I love adding an overnight mask. Masking take things to a new level when it comes to locking in moisture, soothing the skin and calming any irritation caused by cool weather and heating.
I’ve spoken about this one before but it really is perfect on it’s own and over serums, it’s the VENN Concentrated Revitalising Lifting Mask. This luxurious leave-on cream mask is packed with 8 free-radical fighting antioxidants and 7 high performance peptides so it’s not messing around! It gives radiance (bye bye dull winter skin), boosts hydration and helps to contour and firm the skin. Perfect as the last step in your routine, not only for its own properties but to also seal in prior skincare steps and maximise their benefits.

Feed your skin during the day
Now that you’ll be waking up with gorgeous, hydrated skin, let’s talk about your daily base product. If you’re the kind of person who likes to wear a foundation, be sure to choose one during winter that includes skincare benefits to keep the radiance and hydration going throughout the day. My go to for this is SAINT COSMETICS Flawless Radiance Skincare Foundation. This lightweight liquid foundation is a dream to apply. You can customise it to be very sheer or build it up for more coverage. On the skincare side it contains a blend of ingredients to help support your skin through the day such as :
- Rosehip Oil to provide antioxidant protection as well as anti-aging benefits
- Coconut oil to reduce inflammation and increase moisture
- Kakadu Plum which is a potent form of Vitamin C to brighten skin. It’s also very rich in Vitamin E and Folic Acid to increase the brightening benefits and firm while reducing dark spots, pigmentation and inflammation
These ingredients help to create a protective barrier between your skin and the elements, as well as working to improve your skin. This foundation is particularly well suited to people with dry, mature, sensitive or blemish prone-skin and if you aren’t sure about your shade be sure to use the Match My Makeup tool to find your perfect match!

Seal it with a Kiss
Let’s not forget possibly the most sensitive area when it comes to winter – lips. Opt for a lip colour that provides additional protection and nourishment like the MADAME GABRIELA range. Their non-toxic formulas are filled to the brim with antioxidants, amino acids, enzymes and vitamins. Stand out ingredients include Manuka Honey, Vitamin E and Avocado Oil, so they’re a great option to deliver gorgeous colour along with nourishing properties.

I hope this post has you thinking about how you can protect your skin through winter not only so it can be more comfortable but also to help you in the long run. The more we can help our skin to minimise stress, the more gracefully we’ll age. I always find that helps to motivate me to take better care of my skin 🙂 Ash x
