Is your Moisturiser doing it's job ?

As the nights are drawing in and we head into the colder months, our skin tends to get more dehydrated, drier and not so healthy looking. This is down to many factors such as central heating, cold temperatures outside, cold winds and lack of sunlight.

Cold winds play havoc on our skin !

So, how can we counteract this ? Well we can do several things to help keep our skin as hydrated and healthy as we can during the cold winter months -- here are just a few suggestions.

1. Make sure you drink enough water / liquids during the day.

2. Eat as healthier diet as you can, Lots of fresh whole foods, and cut down on processed foods.

3. Exercise and move so as to keep your circulation working well.

4. Make sure your moisturiser is doing it's job ! if it's not you need to use something richer and more moisturising.

5. Consider taking a D3 supplement, preferably with K2 and Mk7 in it.

Lets explore moisturisers

Here are some of the ones I highly recommend using -- they have natural ingredients in them, are completley Vegan and have NO NASTY CHEMICALS in them ! Oh and did I mention that they are freshly made here in the UK . This is why I personally use them.

Skin Re-leaf by Tropic Skincare -- This moisturiser is great for skins that may be a little on the sensitive side or is prone to rosacea or psoriasis. It is a light soothing silky moisturiser providing instant and long-term relief by helping to restore your skin barrier, soothes inflammation, and reduces redness. It's ideal for anyone prone to redness or rosacea, as well as skin that’s dry, ultra-sensitive from over exfoliation, irritated or sunburnt.

Skin Feast by Tropic Skincare  -- This is a richer moisturiser than the Re-Leaf and improves the skins hydration over 8 hours by 149 % ! it contains the most vitamin C-rich fruit on the planet, Kakadu plum extract illuminates skin, while hyaluronic acid deeply hydrates and berry seed oils defend against daily stressors.

Fresh Waves by Tropic Skincare -- This balancing moisturiser is designed for skins with excess oil and prone to blemishes. Using 100% naturally derived ingredients, the rebalancing formula works to protect and nourish your skin’s microbiome.  

While prebiotics stabilise sebum levels and defend against blemish-causing bacteria, blue spirulina refines pore appearance and blueberry seed extract brightens.

With a cream-gel texture that’s instantly absorbing, cooling and soothing, it’s ideal for anyone who struggles with spots.
