Autumn/Winter Musthaves | Skincare

 As it gets colder here in the UK, I thought I would share with you some of my skincare musthaves for Autumn/Winter to prevent dryness and dehydration!

One of my holy grail products for winter is Weleda Skin Food. This is the thickest cream I have ever used and this is coming from someone who suffered with terrible eczema for years so I have tried some thick creams! I like to use this on any dry patches or even as an all over moisturiser before foundation as I find that my makeup doesn't tend to last as well in the colder months. This is a great cream with so many uses, I use it anywhere it doesn't have to be the face!

Facial Oil. During the summer I tend not to use an oil on my face but as we ease into Autumn and Winter I have been excited to buy a new facial oil. I decided to go for the new CBD Restoring Facial Oil from The Body Shop and I was not disappointed. This is a non-greasy oil containing Cannabidiol (CBD) which is one of the most active ingredients in the cannabis plant. It is known for its calming and soothing properties and is also taken in tablet form by those who suffer with anxiety. It's a miracle ingredient and it has definitely helped sooth my dry skin and redness. 

Lastly, a facial mist. Any mist will do but my favourites are from Pixi or Utan! A mist is a great way of adding in an extra boost of hydration between your serum and moisturiser. I like to spray mine right after I've cleansed so that my skin is damp and can easily absorb my serum. I've noticed my skin feels a lot more hydrated since adding in this step and it's also great to use as a top up throughout the day if you're feeling dry! I use the Utan mist at the end of my routine to maintain my tan whilst hydrating my skin at the same time! Great product to use especially in the winter as our natural tan fades.

 I hope this was useful to you, only three recommendations this time but I really do use all of these products every single day!

Thank you for reading!
