As the weather starts to shift and the air becomes colder and drier this can have a harsh effect on our skin, which can often lead to redness, dryness and dehydration. Skin Formulas founder, Geraldine Jones recommends adjusting your skincare routine as the seasons change to keep your skin glowing throughout the winter months, especially in the lead-up to party season. Skin Formulas multi-functional products contain the highest level of active ingredients and their innovative skincare formulas are designed to balance your skin type and pair seamlessly with speciality treatment products to tackle your top skin concerns.
Skin Formulas Founder, Geraldine Jones Comments: “Supporting our skin in Winter is so important as our skin’s barrier function can often become sensitised from exposure to cold weather and then a mix of air conditioning and heating. A soothing and hydrating cleanser such as Oil and milk used alongside a multi-molecular weight hyaluronic acid serum like Hydra Serum will also encourage your own production of hyaluronic acid. Our skin also gets quite sluggish in winter so regular exfoliation is important and the Skin Formulas Mask Exfoliator is the perfect blend of exfoliation and hydration.”
The carefully curated ‘winter skincare routine’ products below have been specifically designed to combat the harsh effects the winter weather has on our skin and help maintain beautiful glowing skin:
To keep the skin hydrated, Skin Formulas recommends their cult skincare product, The Skin Formulas Hydra Hyaluronic Acid Serum €53.00. This lightweight silky serum contains multi-weight Hyaluronic Acid, which is your body’s natural hydrating factor. A three-tiered approach not only visibly increases your skin’s hydration levels, it also stimulates your skin’s natural production of hyaluronic acid and collagen for long-term results.
Skin Formulas also recommends a gentle daily cleanser to deeply cleanse, brighten and balance the skin. The Skin Formulas Oil and Milk Formula €32.00 which gently removes makeup and impurities from the skin’s surface. It glides onto the skin as a beautiful oil, and once emulsified with water it melts to a conditioning milk
Don’t forget your SPF, even in the winter. Another hero product from the range is The Skin Formulas Day Cream Moisturising SPF 50 PA++++ €37.00 is a luxurious, non-comedogenic daily moisturiser infused with pure lavender essential oil which is instantly absorbed for a lightweight, satin-like finish. Enriched with antioxidants, the broad-spectrum SPF shields the skin from harmful UVA/UVB and blue light exposure to protect and improve the skin’s firmness, elasticity and luminosity
Exfoliation is key in the Winter and The Skin Formulas Mask Exfoliator 2N1 Formula €37.00 is super hydrating and also contains fruit enzymes. The mask works by gently exfoliating to remove the build-up of dead skin cells and adds essential antioxidants to improve overall skin health. Perfect for all skin types and rosacea-affected skin.
Another way to elevate your skincare routine is with the Skin Formulas Bamboo Mitt (€19.00) which is proudly created in Nenagh, Tipperary. Carefully hand-crafted by skilled artists, each mitt is woven from 100% sustainably sourced bamboo fibres, ensuring a gentle yet thorough cleanse that removes dirt, impurities and makeup from the skin leaving it feeling brighter and more revitalised after each use.
Unlike other cleaning mitts that might be a little harsher on the skin, The Skin Formulas Bamboo Mitt is soft and sumptuous for even the most sensitive skin with the added benefit of having natural antibacterial properties and being hypoallergenic making it a must-have in your daily routine.
