Dry & dehydrated skin.

Filed under: Hints & Tips — Tags: , — Claire @ 9:43 am

Has your skin started to feel dry and dehydrated this winter?

I have noticed a lot of my client’s skin has started to feel the strain of winter. The freezing weather outside then inside, the dry hot air from the heating being on constantly. This can really dry and dehydrate your skin.

I think most people know you should try and drink plenty of water to help hydrate yourself but have you ever thought of keeping a bowl of water in your lounge or bedroom? This will help put moisture back into the air, therefore helping to prevent moisture being drawn from you skin. If you don’t want to have a random bowl of water in your room, why not make a feature from it by adding some floating candles?

Youngblood have a fantastic product to boost your skin, ‘Minerals in the Mist’. It contains three unique blends of pure essential oils, minerals, and vitamins for long-lasting hydration and protection. Apply after cleaning your skin but, also apply a fine mist after you have applied your make-up to boost your skin.

Dry skin in the cold weather makes foundation look flaky

Filed under: Ask Claire Questions & Answers — Tags: , — admin @ 1:01 pm

My skin has started to dry in areas since all the cold weather so when I put my foundation on it looks flaky in areas. What can I do to stop this? – Anon

Do you use a make-up primer before applying your make-up? It makes such a difference. Not only does it prepare your skin for the foundation it also stimulates collagen growth. It contains vitamins and minerals which will help protect your skin, which you need in this weather! It will leave your skin luminous and youthful looking.

Make sure you have a good skin care routine. You may find you need to use a richer cream on the areas you have dryness. Try gently exfoliating once a week and use a rich night cream at night time and see if this makes any difference.
