We may never have to deal with sub-zero temperatures in Dubai, but any shift in weather can have an affect your skin.
Dry and flaky complexion is one of the biggest complaints during the winter months, but team a&e is on hand to help you find products that’ll give you all the hydration, nourishment, and the protection you need.
The trick is to start preparing your skin as early as possible for the temperature drop by adding deeply nourishing creams, sheet masks and serums. Switching from a lighter to a thicker cream formula is a fundamental step and we are currently testing the Sisley Velvet Nourishing Cream with Saffron. Its 2-in-1 formula is capable of protecting by day and repairing by night while targeting all that factors that contribute to skin dryness.
Certain foam cleansers can be harsh on the skin making it feel tight and uncomfortable. Try swapping in a balm instead that effectively removes any impurities while keeping most of your natural skin oils intact.
If you are going to prioratise, focus more on the night time routine to guarantee a glowing complexion by morning. Bedtime is also the best time to introduce and oil or serum and use gentle hand movements to massage the products into your skin. You’ll feel extra relaxed while the ingredients are activated. You don’t have to change up your serum for winter, but if you feel your skin needs extra love, use a few drops of Vitamin C or E with your moisturiser.
Dry air might put you off exfoliating, but its one of the best ways to achieve a brighter complexion. The important thing is to avoid exfoliators with very hard beads and only use it one or two times a week. Follow this with a night mask containing calming ingredients that tackle redness and irritation, resulting in a fresh-faced skin by the time your morning alarm goes off.
Your hydrated and glowing complexion is just a few clicks away with our ultimate dry skin beauty edit above.
