With the leaves falling and nights drawing in, it's time to reach for cozy jumpers and adjust your skincare routine for the cooler weather. Here are our top tips to prepare your skin for the chilly months ahead:
Exfoliation is Still Crucial
As the weather cools, a build-up of dead skin cells can leave your skin looking dull and hinder product absorption. Exfoliate 2-3 times a week to help slough away these cells. Folli Oil’s Body Scrub leaves skin smooth and polished, with Himalayan Sea Salt to purify pores and a blend of anti-inflammatory oils to nourish and prevent moisture loss.
Combat Central Heating's Drying Effects
While it's comforting to feel warmth indoors, central heating can dry out your skin by evaporating moisture from the air. Keep your skin moisturised from the moment you wake up by adding a few drops of Folli Oil’s Daily Treatment Oil to your body moisturiser. Apply it after your bath or shower to lock in moisture immediately. The nourishing oils absorb quickly, keeping your skin's protective barrier hydrated and comfortable.
Protect Your Lips
Colder weather and brisk winds can leave lips sore and chapped. Protect them with a lip balm made from natural waxes, butters, and oils to nourish and repair. Avoid products containing petroleum jelly, as it's a by-product of the oil industry and not compatible with your skin. Refrain from licking dry or cracked lips, as this can worsen the condition.
Help Your Hands (and Nails)
The skin on our hands produces less oil than the rest of our body, and frequent hand washing and sanitising can lead to dryness. Give your hands and nails a boost by massaging a few drops of Folli Oil’s Daily Treatment Oil into your cuticles before applying hand cream. The soothing and nourishing oils will deeply hydrate and prevent your nails from becoming brittle.
