With winter just around the corner, it's the perfect time to pay extra attention to our skin. The colder temperatures can dry out your skin, leaving it looking dull, dehydrated and more prone to breakouts. That, combined with cold winds and harsh indoor heating, can make your skin feel tighter and more sensitive, something even the best moisturisers will struggle to fix. 

We've already covered the five general skincare swaps you need to make for winter, but we haven't discussed winter UV radiation. Many people will be planning snow sports trips to the mountains, a place where the air is colder and the UV is stronger. This can be especially harmful to our skin, and even dangerous for our health.
