1. Simple Cleansing:
Start with a gentle cleanser suited to your skin type. Cleanse your skin in the morning remove it with a warm face cloth and then repeat in the evening. Double cleanse in the evening as this will remove the day's impurities.

My favourite cleansers are Nimue Cleansing Gel and Louise Thomas The Cleanser
2. Hydration Heroes:
Hydration is key! During the colder months, our skin can become drier, irritated, and dehydrated. Along with the external factors our hormones, diet, and lifestyle can impact our skin.

My favourite Hyaluronic serum Nimue Hyaluronic Ultrafiller Booster it keeps my skin hydrated throughout the day and relieves any tightness and dryness.
3. Moisturiser:
Moisturisers create a protective barrier on the skin's surface, preventing water loss and maintaining optimal hydration levels. They keep the skin replenished, improve skin texture, help keep the skin plump, and protect the skin's natural barrier. This is particularly important in the winter months to help keep the skin nourished and protected.
My favouite everyday moisturisers are Nimue day and Louise Thomas The Hydrator
4. Sunscreen, Rain or Shine: In the UK, the sun doesn't always make a grand appearance, but harmful UV rays do. Make sunscreen a daily habit to protect your skin, rain or shine. It's your secret weapon against premature aging and keeps your skin healthy and happy. make sure you choose a high broad SPF that filters the UVA and UVB rays. Little tip if you work by a window still apply your SPF as those rays will still come through the windows. Remember plants still grow indoors.
My favourite Spfs are Nimue Sun-c spf 40 and Evy Defense mousse spf 50
