It doesn’t matter what time of year it is; nothing can make you look and feel better than gorgeous, glowing skin. The first thing to remember is to look after your body and work on your beauty from the inside out, so drink plenty of water and try to eat as many healthy, seasonal meals as you can (check out my book Eat Beautiful for inspiration), to mix in with all those seasonal feasts! When it comes to your skin, concentrate on cleansing and hydrating your complexion, for clear, glowing skin whatever the weather. First up, check out my skincare product heroes for glowing skin…

Skincare for Glowing Skin

CLEANSE

First up is to ensure you have properly cleansed skin, clear from all makeup, dirt and debris. Wash your face twice a day and consider a treatment cleanser in the evening on top of your usual micellar water or oil cleanser.

EXFOLIATE

When done properly, exfoliation removes any dead skin cells and improves the tone and texture of skin, leading to a brighter, more glowy complexion. Read my guide to exfoliation here.

MOISTURISE

Just because you’re not sweating as much in the cold weather as you do in summer, don’t think that your skin needs less moisture. Moisturising every morning and evening is vital, on top of drinking plenty of water, to ensure your skin has the best chance of a healthy glow.

PRIME

Before applying your makeup, prep skin with an illuminating crème, like Victoria Beckham’s Cell Rejuvenating Priming Moisturizer, which plumps and tones skin while giving a smoother, more dewy complexion to apply your makeup on.

TREATMENT

Give your skin an extra treat at least once a week in the form of a sheet mask or overnight oil. This is a great way to spend a cosy evening in fluffy pyjamas, too!
