IN THE IMMORTAL WORDS
• F J O N S N O W , winter is coming,
you guys. Beauty translation? It's time
to put those powders back on the
shelf and nix the whole it's-so-humidl-don t-even-moisturise thing you've
got going on. Just like you trade your
workout singlet for cosy layers once
the temps start dropping, you ve got
to make some adjustments to your
beauty routine, too. Not sure what
to bag and what to ditch? Chill. We
asked the pros for their winter beauty
swaps so you can glow all year round.
Prone to dry spots and flakiness? Ditch gel or foam cleansers
that make your skin feel tight, ASAP. They re stripping your
skin of its natural oils and increasing your chance of sensitivity
and dryness. To boost your moisture levels, try a cream cleanser
infused with nut butters, essential oils and antioxidants instead.
It might not work up much of a lather, but it'll be a champ at
melting away grime and keeping your skin in good nick.

g
lotion for a rich
moisturiser
While lightweight formulas are a dream for
sweaty summer complexions, cold weather,
low humidity and indoor heating can impair
your skin's barrier function. Your new
go-to? Emollients. According to Christine
Clais. skin expert and The French Facialist
(thefrenchfacialist.com), emollients such
as shea butter and coconut oil act like a
protective blanket for your skin, which
prevents moisture from escaping. If you re
a bit on the oily side and can t stand the
idea of putting more stuff on your face,
you'll still need to up your water (not oil)
content, so look for an oil-free moisturiser
and pop it on after cleansing. BAG IT:

The swat \ Powder blush
for a cream tint
According to Dutton, cream blushes fuse with your skin
rather than sitting on top of it - which is good news for
dehydrated cheeks. Creams also bring out the warmth in
your skin, plus they'll leave you with a fresh, dewy finish.
Sold! Still looking a little lacklustre? Dutton suggests
dabbing cream illuminator along your cheekbones.

Alright, technically you shouldn t be using harsh
scrubs or exfoliators any time of the year, but since
your skin's hit with a barrage of environmental assaults in
winter, now s the time to kick em. To slough away dry skin,
opt for a cream exfoliant or mask with gentle acids like
lactic (which also restores moisture) or fruit enzymes once
or twice a week. BAG IT: 1 Eminence Organic Skin Care Rosehip Exfoliating

Pack those powders away, friends, because liquids where it's at.
"Once the cooler months roll around, I suggest opting for
something a little more hydrating, says make-up artist
Hayley Dutton (hayleydutton.com). Powders aren t as
forgiving on dry. flaky skin, so Dutton recommends
picking up a foundation infused with skincare elements
to help treat your complexion at the same time. Go for
water-based prods with hyaluronic acid or try a do-it-all
formula. "Great examples of these are BB and CC
creams that are enriched with vitamins, minerals and
moisturisers. Dutton tips. BAG IT: 1 Bobbi Brown

Ever had your eye make-up ruined by a
downpour? To save face, arm yourself with
a waterproof mascara, and dust translucent
powder under your lashline and over
your eyelid for staying power,
tips Dutton. BAG IT:

Brighten up your dark spots with
these potent skincare prods
While a hydrating serum should be
numero uno in your winter skincare
arsenal, it's also a great time to make
friends with resurfacing prods if
you re speckled with pigmentation.
"UV exposure from the sun tends
to be less intense at this time of
year," Clais explains, and since sun
damage exacerbates pigmentation,
your best shot at fading brown
spots is during the cooler months.
