Complexion been playing up ever since the weather turned? You’re probably experiencing the effects of winter skin.
Our skin doesn’t stay the same all year long, or even week to week or day to day. It’s constantly changing based on factors like our hormones, stress and the kind of skincare we’re using, from our best moisturisers to our best cleansers. But seasonal shifts, like the colder temperatures, harsh winds and shorter daylight hours that winter brings, can also greatly impact how our skin looks and feels. And it’s not just these factors that our complexions have to contend with, but also the things we do as a result of them – things like cranking up the central heating, cladding every inch of skin in as many layers as possible and spending more time than usual languishing under a joyfully scorching shower.
