"After a season of heavy makeup looks and heavy meals not to mention yo-yoing between icy winds and stuffy heated interiors your skin might look and feel flushed, dry, dull and irritated. After all, late nights, crackling fires and bottomless eggnogs add heat to anyone's cheeks especially those with rosacea or eczema, says consultant dermatologist Dr Randa Akel, making this time of year prime for flare-ups."
"Cool, cotton garments will soothe itchy skin (consider wool to be your worst enemy) and watching your blood sugar will reduce your chances of inflammation (sugar spikes increase insulin and oil production), but watching your skin routine is essential for a calm complexion. In winter, your skin barrier is already under pressure, and you don't want to add fuel to the fire by using the wrong cleanser, says Noli representative Dr Kemi Fabusiwa."
Cold winds, heated interiors, heavy makeup and rich foods commonly cause flushed, dry, dull and irritated skin, increasing flare-ups for conditions like rosacea and eczema. Cool cotton clothing soothes itchiness while avoiding wool and monitoring blood sugar helps reduce inflammation. Winter compromises the skin barrier, so avoid harsh cleansers and overstimulating multi-step regimens. Consistency and simplicity allow the skin to repair. Prioritise hydrating, lipid-rich, barrier-repair creams with fewer irritants. Use five core formulas — a cleanser, serum, moisturiser, occlusive and SPF — to cushion, strengthen and protect winter-ravaged skin.
