No doubt, moisturiser is a skin-care must. But, finding a formula that isn’t too greasy or too expensive is about as tricky as it gets.
It’s a known fact that changes in weather can play havoc with our skin. Add in that this is the time of year when we begin to go out more, stay in less and you've got a recipe for dry, blotchy skin. Not ideal. And, with the temperature on the verge of plummeting and the wind and rain already beating us down, it’s no wonder many of us are finding our complexion troublesome.
Think of it this way: when winter comes knocking it makes sense to wear thicker, heavier clothes. We unpack our woollies that's been stored away and break out our chunky coats, but we just expect our moisturiser to keep pace. Think laterally as your moisturiser should also be protecting your skin from the elements. Don't hesitate, beef up your beauty regime with cream or oil that quenches the complexion and adds a rich oil-based barrier between you and the weather immediately.
Fortunately, lacklustre skin can be rejuvenated without breaking the bank. It turns out rehydration is within the pre-payday realms of possibility, which means you have zero excuse for skimping on nourishing with one of these nine balms that cost less than £9. And, as we're a digital company all of these wonder balms are available to buy online right now (go figure). Get clicking....
