Whelehans pharmacys ann mcnelis winter skincare tips

During the summer months, we often complain about oily skin. However, this is noticeably absent during winter due to the drier weather and central heating. Therefore the skin finds it harder to retain water in the dermis layer. Premature aging and fine lines are the result. The skin may also appear grey and puffy. The number of times that you exfoliate should be increased to twice a week.

Exfoliating helps to remove dead skin cells and allow the skin to absorb more moisture. One option is to indulge in the salon-inspired Elizabeth Arden Visible Difference Peel and Reveal Revitalising Mask. With its triple-action system, Elizabeth Arden Visible Difference Peel and Reveal Revitalising Mask. will exfoliate tone and firm your skin to instantly restore your complexion’s natural glow. It contains vitamin rich ingredients such as grape seed extract which combined with the exfoliating properties of alpha and beta hydroxyl, re-texturises your skin. The result is visibly firmer, smoother and radiantly glowing skin.

As the winter months set in, the weather turns colder, windier and drier; your skin will need some extra help and protection from the environment. Sometimes the weather may change rapidly and you need to be prepared otherwise the skin can become dry and chapped; when the temperature changes, a change in your skin care routine is necessary. It is really important to choose a good moisturiser, at Whelehans we recommend Elizabeth Arden’s Eight Hour Intensive Daily Moisture Cream.

It is an intensive moisturizer with multi-stress benefits which rescues the skin from the drying effects of active lifestyles and climate extremes as it protects, soothes and hydrates the skin from the sun’s harmful rays (has SPF of 15) and free radical damage. It leaves you with a radiant more resilient complexion.
