Cooler temperatures, wind, central heating and a decrease in UV light, are all external factors of winter and have a detrimental effect on our skin. Particularly on those areas which are left uncovered like the face and hands. The skin can appear lacklustre, dull, dry, flaky and even sore. Internal factors such as excess over the festive period can also have a damaging effect to the skin.
A facial is the detox your skin needs to combat these effects. This relaxing treatment helps promote healthy circulation and skin by drawing out impurities and removing dry and dead skin cells. Massaging the skin also improves its resistance to infection as it stimulates the production of sebum. A facial will refine the appearance of the skin, nourish and hydrate, leaving it feeling softer and looking brighter.
At home you can help your skin during the cold months by moisturising twice a day and try to include the use of a facial oil or balm treatment in your routine to hydrate and boost. It is important to moisturise at bedtime as the body absorbs more effectively while at rest. Treating your skin and keeping up with your water intake will help your skin get through the winter season.
