Whatever your age or skin type, thorough skincare is the best defense against sun, wind, central heating or chemicals such as chlorine. Here are some top tips on keeping your skin hydrated during the colder months:

Interview a professional

Find your skin type from a professional before deciding on the best products. It doesn’t have to be expensive, you can arrange an assessment in the beauty section of many stores. Think about what brand you may want to invest in and request an assessment and some free samples.

Find the right product and begin a routine

Once you know your skin type, take some time to find the right products for you – something oil-free for oily skin or odorless for sensitive skin, etc.. get counseling and try free samples until you are glad you found a brand that suits your skin. Once you are happy with a product using it regularly. Clean, change the tone and moisturize morning and night skin and exfoliate at least once a week.

Protect your skin

Find a day cream that includes at least an SPF of 15. Do not use this night as it can clog your pores, but it will provide valuable protection during the day. If you can’t find a suitable cream with base mineral powder SPF test, which will create a barrier between your skin and the elements.

Don’t forget your body
