Winter Skincare Essentials

As Winter is fast approaching my skin is definitely suffering and is in need of some new additions to my skincare routine. 

Elemis Exfoliating Face Wash is a nice refreshing scrub for the morning. Also in the dark mornings I find this face wash really helps to wake me up in the morning. Sometimes my skin gets quite dry when it is cold outside so using a scrub gets rid of all the dry and dead bits of skin on your face (gross I know!). 

In the colder months my skin lacks serious hydration and moisture so I have decided to hydrate my skin as much as possible. Face oils are the ultimate winter skincare product, I find them too heavy any other time of the year - but around this time they are perfect.  With 100% pure plant extracts - say hello to the Clarins Blue Orchid Face Treatment Oil. This is a really light oil, it doesn't feel heavy or unbearable on the skin and absorbs in quickly. I use this after cleansing and toning, I only use one or two drops in the evening. If you don't have much time for pampering this is good as it is very relaxing to apply and feels like a quick pamper. 

I moisturising everyday because I think it is really important step in my skincare routine that I never miss. Recently I was finding that my normal moisturiser just wasn't hydrating enough and I felt like my skin was still quite dry. Instead I have been using the Janjira Facial Deep Moisturiser*.  This smells very strongly of Pomegranate and Acai  but is so lovely and really rich formula. Like the other Janjira products this has mushroom extract which actually, really cleverly, reduces the appearance of your pores . This is great for applying in the morning before your primer as it minimises pores. 

These are all my essential winter skincare products, I would love to know what yours are!
