Autumn Skincare Guide 2022

As much as we love the cosy evenings, golden leaves & sweater weather, Autumn isn’t the kindest to our skin. When the temperature drops, the time we invest into our skin needs to increase! Read on to hear about this year’s Autumn body care must haves!

When the temperature plummets, so does the humidity, this strips your skin of moisture. Dryness is the most evident consequence of the winter weather, however the temperature fluctuation can also lead to inflammation and irritation.

Dryness, irritation and inflammation can actually damage the acid mantle (hydrolipidic barrier). This barrier is a made of naturally occurring oils that  maintain and protect your skin, disruption to this barrier makes your skin more vulnerable and sensitive.

Your skin needs to be taken care of all year round, especially at winter. This is the list of must-haves to ensure your skin is winter weather ready!

Body scrub is an exfoliant that is used to remove dead skin cells from your skin. The abrasive ingredients are worked into the skin and work as a natural exfoliant, clearing the skin of older skin cells so your skin feels soft supple and nourished. Body scrub works by stimulating skin cell turnover for smoother, brighter skin, and can help restore’s skins natural moisture, prevent future acne breakouts, and make you feel great!

You should use body scrub 1-2 times a week at most, as over exfoliation can be harsh on your skin. To use, you should apply the scrub to wet skin using circular motions and rinse thoroughly. 

Formulated with mostly water and a little bit of oil, body lotion acts as a moisturiser that soothes and smoothers out the skin. Our luxury body lotions include a wide selection of fast penetrating and deeply moisturising body creams. Designed to nourish all skin types and leave skin fabulously fragrant, essential for this time of year.

While many ingredients go into the production of a body lotion, the most common ones include water, glycerine, avocado oil, and shea butter, all of which help hydrate the skin. Just simply massage the body lotion in to the skin and let the rich body moisturiser melt away, revealing instantly smoother skin.

We are extremely proud of our hand cream. They are enriched with shea butter and we believe they are the best value nourishing hand creams on the market. Shea Butter, not only moisturises but also provides a protective layer for your hands and nails. Especially good for dry hands, our hand moisturisers gently melt into the skin leaving hands silky smooth. Just simply massage a small amount of the rich cream into hand regularly to lock in moisture.

Protecting and caring for your lips is a vital step in any self-care routine, especially in the colder months. Lip balm can help restore the much-needed moisture from your lips which is lost from dry air, colder temperatures, and wind exposure. Lips are more vulnerable than other parts of the body as the skin on our lips is so thin.

Using lip balm once, or twice a day can achieve moisturised and protected lips. However, always try to avoid using too much lip balm, as this can cause your skin to lose its natural hydration levels, relying on lip balm formulas that help to lock in moisture.
