Winter, a time when nature hibernates and temperatures drop. Everyone feels some level of dryness and tightening as the season changes. On the outside there are cold winds, rain and colder temperatures and indoors we have increased loss of moisture from central heating. So how can you achieve healthy winter glowing skin?
Our products are formulated to work synergistically with specific botanicals that cleverly adapt to your skin's needs with the changing seasons, similar to what they do in nature. This means you do not have to make any changes to your normal routine, you can still use the same clever botanical dense products to meet your skins changing demands.
A Healthy Skin Barrier
Colder temperatures mean our skin is exposed to variations in not only temperatures but humidity which can place additional stress on the skin barrier. You may experience tightness, dehydration and even irritated skin.
Gentle Cleansing
To strengthen the skin barrier and improve skin health switch to an oil cleanser that is non-stripping. AMINA Ritual Cleansing oil gently removes away dirt, make-up, sun cream and impurities without stripping your skin by virtue of an abundance of nourishing plant seed oils which are rich in antioxidants that leave your skin feeling soft, clean, and revitalised.
Boost Hydration
As temperatures fluctuate both indoors and outdoors, the skin’s ability to hold on to water is impaired, skin becomes dehydrated, dull and even itchy. Water loss is key to restoring skin health and supporting the skins barrier. After cleansing, use Nefertiti Radiance Botanical Serum which is a hydrator powerhouse containing ingredients like hyaluronic Acid, hibiscus, neroli flower water and aloe vera which act as humectants drawing water from the environment and pulling it into the different layers of the skin.
Moisturise, Moisturise, Moisturise
After layering on lost hydration, you need to seal the hydration with a moisturiser to boost winter glow. Moisturisers mimic the oil that are present naturally on the skin surface (sebum) and work to boost their ability to hold onto hydration thereby keeping the skin soft and radiant. Makeda Radiance Botanical Oil is an indulgent skin-reparative magnate, rich in antioxidants, omega fatty acids and vitamins A, D and E from tamanu, moringa, baobab, Kalahari melon and seaweed which strengthen the skin barrier and boost radiance by elevating moisture and hydration.
Exfoliation
Use a gentle exfoliating mask and avoid grainy scrubs or chemical exfoliants like alpha or beta hydroxy acids, which can lead to redness, striping and irritation especially if using a retinoid product. Nefertiti Radiance Botanical Serum contains plant derived alpha and beta hydroxy acids and lactic acid from Liquorice, White Willow Bark, Lemon and Orange fruit extracts which whilst gentle on the skin still help to speed up cellular renewal which in turn leaves skin more radiant and glowing.
Protection
Layer on sunscreen to protect the skin barrier from UV exposure which is still present even in Winter and can cause premature skin ageing.
