Top Tips for Looking After Your Skin This Winter
Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate
Skin can become drier and dehydrated in winter, so you need to hydrate as much as possible during this time. One of the best ways to do this is to bulk up on lipid-rich products. Not all oils are born equal! Only lipids can replenish the cell membrane to help build a strong epidermal wall to restore compactness, retain water and reduce the effects of irritation.
I would recommend lixirskin’s Universal Emulsion mixed with the Night Switch Essential Lipids. This ultra-rich lipid blend of ceramides, essential fatty acids, phospholipids, phytosterols and glycerides helps repair and soothe very dry and dehydrated skin.

Layer up with a light SPF
While the days are now shorter and there is less sun, it’s still important to keep our skin protected. But we don’t need to go super heavy on the sunscreen, so SPF 10 (or higher, if you prefer) is a good layer of protection that allows Vitamin D to still reach us.
