Is your skin feeling dull and flaky? Want to know how to overcome this during lockdown?
Everyone’s skin gets chapped and dehydrated in winter. Harsh elements like the wind can cause your skin to dry out.
A drop in humidity can also strip the skin of its natural moisture barrier and cause it to become flakey. If you have any underlying dermatitis or eczema, that will tend to flair in the winter and become quite irritable.
Here are our top 5 tips on how to liven up your skin and bring back it’s glow this winter….
1. Exfoliation is key to a brighter complexion.
- Try the Jojoba Peeling Cream for an at home exfoliation. Invest in the Dr Spiller Jojoba spheres to hydrate the skin while removing the upper most layers of dead skin cells for hydrated, brighter and fresher skin.
