Dry Skin: Master challenges in the UK Climate

Tired of battling dry skin in the UK?

Living in the UK means dealing with a climate that can be quite unpredictable. From rainy days to sudden bursts of sunshine, our skin faces constant fluctuations in temperature and humidity levels. During the winter months, the cold air and indoor heating systems can zap moisture from our skin, leaving it feeling tight and uncomfortable. The rise in humidity levels can lead to increased moisture loss, exacerbating dryness and leaving our skin feeling parched. Furthermore, dehydrated skin leaves us more fine lines and wrinkles as well as sensitively itchy areas. It is how we suffer from our dry skin – a never-ending battle living in the UK.

However, with the right skincare practices tailored to the unique conditions of the UK, you can replenish moisture levels and restore hydration that withstands whatever the British weather.

1. Cleanser: Start your dry skincare routine with a gentle, hydrating cleanser to remove impurities and excess oil without stripping your skin of its natural moisture.

2. Hydrating Toner: Follow up cleansing with a hydrating toner to rebalance your skin’s pH levels. Look for toners formulated with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin to replenish moisture and soothe dry, sensitive skin.

3. Serum: Next, treat your skin to a hydrating serum packed with potent ingredients that penetrate deep into the skin to deliver intense hydration and nourishment. Look for serums enriched with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and antioxidants to replenish moisture, strengthen the skin’s barrier

4. Rich Moisturiser: Finish your dry skincare routine with a rich, emollient moisturiser to lock in moisture and provide lasting hydration
