💙💙How to use Retinols & AHAs this winter without causing dryness & irritation👇
Cold temperatures, indoor heating and less moisture in the air can sensitise and weaken our skin barrier. So how can we still use our skincare renewal heroes, without irritation? Balance is the key
Top tips:
🫶 If you use retinol and find this irritates your skin in winter, try using it two or three times a week as opposed to every night, and then ease back on strong acids during the daytime. Continue to use an SPF, even in winter as UV rays are around during daylight hours
🫶 Reach for lower concentrations, use wash off products or gentle formulas, then layer on your hydration.
🫶 Opt for ceramides, Glycolic Acids such as NeoStrata Restore, Teoxane Deep Repair Balm, Clinicare barrier creams, and most importantly, listen to your skin. If it’s stinging, peeling or feeling tight, just alternate your actives without losing their benefits
🫶 Apply daily SPF such as Heliocare even in winter as UVA & UVB light can pe*****te windows and some Heliocare formulations also protect against Blue light 😇
‘Winter glow comes from balance, not overdoing it’ 👏
