Over the past month or so, I have had to crank my skincare up a notch and have been following a very strict regime. Why, you ask? Because Winter plays havoc with skin. Heating, cold winds and not enough sunlight, makes anyone's skin look pale, dehydrated and lack-lustre. So in this blog post, I am going to share with you my secret to getting healthy looking, radiant skin, which is perfectly hydrated throughout the harsh Winter months.
First and foremost, I use the best skincare that I can possibly afford, which happens to be La Mer. If you choose the right products, and, believe me, I have tried pretty much every brand-low and high-end, your skin will thank you for it. I choose to invest in my skin, because, after all, you only get one skin and, given that it is the largest organ of the body, I can justify the expense.
Consistently following the four steps to great skin-every morning and evening (cleanse, tone, apply serum & moisturise) leaves my skin in tip-top condition each and every day. In conjunction to this, once a week, I use a gentle exfoliant and a hydrating mask.
Add to this routine, my Clarisonic and what you get is perfectly toned, hydrated and radiant skin. Prior to purchasing it, I had heard rave reviews about this sonic cleansing system on the Internet and YouTube. Putting it bluntly, I thought it was all a load of codswallop, but it turns out everyone who had raved about it, was absolutely spot on! The clarisonic is AMAZING! The honest truth is that I simply cannot live without it. Amongst the other benefits I have noticed, my skincare is better absorbed now which has made a HUGE difference to how my skin looks. I'll do a more comprehensive post on this soon, so look out for that in the next couple of weeks.
My other tip for beautiful Winter skin is using a hydrating foundation. Regardless of what type of skin you have, we all need our skin to be hydrated throughout the day. My top choice is Chanel Vitalumiere in shade #10 Limpide (suitable for dry skins-if you're oily try Vitalumiere Aqua.) It's the perfect shade for my pale Winter skin. I just love it!
I combine these things with a healthy diet (everything in moderation, of course!) and I try to drink lots of water to hydrate my cells on the inside too.

Until next time, take care! Enjoy the rest of the weekend. After a two week break , I'm back at work on Monday. Time flies when you're having fun!
Stay stylishly happy!
Yours in style,
