Your skin is the largest organ on your body, and it’s the one that is most seen by everyone in the street around you. Your face is exposed to the harshest weather (sun, rain and snow) all year round, so it stands to reason that you would want to look after it. Your face needs as much TLC as anywhere on your body, and if you are heading out into the rain and wind, you should do all that you can to make your face feel protected from it.

• During the winter months, use a good scrub on your skin for the dirt that settles during your day to day life. You can choose something gentle to keep your skin protected and not too raw against the elements, too.
• Always moisturize every single day. You should ensure that your moisturizer has a good SPF in it, too, as the winter sun is just as damaging as the summer sun. A moisturizer protects your skin, creating a barrier from the weather and giving you a chance to have skin that looks simply beautiful.
• It’s tempting to hibernate the season, but not always possible. What is possible, though, is a good night of sleep. This way, you can ensure that you are resting enough to give your skin time to heal overnight.

Look after your skin, and you’ll be able to enjoy smooth, healthy skin all year around.
