There’s so much to love about Winter. The fashion, the food, and the change of routine all make it a season for indulgence. Skincare should be no different. But as temperatures drop and moisture is stripped from the air, skin can often feel the full brunt of the colder months. This can cause the skin to feel dry and flaky, leading to breakouts and even deepening fine lines and wrinkles. With Woolworths Beauty, it’s easy to combat the Winter months and have the supple, glowing and healthy skin you want this season and all year round.

 

Skincare

 

If you already have a skincare regime in place, it’s not necessary to change up everything from start to finish. Instead, keep your trusted wash and exfoliator in the mix, and consider incorporating a powerful hydrating serum and a thicker and richer moisturiser that really packs a punch. A serum and moisturiser will help prevent dry and tight skin, stop breakouts, and keep your skin looking and feeling supple.

 

While there may be fewer daylight hours, the African sun can still be harsh, even in Winter. So don’t ditch the sunscreen just because it’s cloudy outside! Anything with an SPF of 30 or higher is perfect and will keep sun damage – and those unwanted premature fine lines – at bay. If you feel you need just another dose of moisture, keep a face mist and lip balm nearby to keep you refreshed throughout the day.

 

Makeup

 

Flawless makeup that lasts all day starts with skin prep – just another reason to ensure that your moisturising game stays strong in Winter. More than just that, though, using primer becomes more crucial than ever, especially around the eyes. With seasonal rain (or even tearing up from dry wind), protect your eyes with a long-lasting waterproof mascara and eyeliner.

 

Choosing your winter foundation also doesn’t have to be a hurdle; Woolworths has a range of foundations suitable for all skin tones.  for a fully hydrated finish if you tend to have dry skin in the Winter, opt for a moisturising foundation such as a liquid foundation or cream foundation. Another great option would be the foundation sticks that are creamy and sympathetic on dry winter skin, providing moisture and slip that matte liquid and powder formulas can’t match. Finish off with a setting spray, and just like that, you’re good to go no matter what the weather brings!
