It’s May, which means winter is right around the corner! We can already feel the weather cooling down, and as a result, our skin, hair and bodies may start to react differently. The key to combating this is creating a foolproof winter beauty routine and expertly transitioning into it, starting right now.
How to Transition to a Winter Beauty Routine
Winter means cooler, drier weather with less humidity to keep our skin and hair hydrated. As a result, winter beauty routines need to be packed full of moisturising must-haves. Plus, as the cool sets in and our outfits err on the warmer side, style options usually lean towards darker, warmer colours — perfect for you to reflect with your makeup.

Moisturisers
Moisturisers are a non-negotiable all year round, no matter your skin type. After all, even oily skins can be dehydrated, so finding the right moisturiser for you is crucial. When winter rolls around, though, you might need to step things up a notch! Even the greasiest of skin types can dry out a little when there’s no sweat or humidity getting in the way.
You’ve got so many options when it comes to moisturisers, but it pays to know your ingredients. For instance, Hyaluronic Acid helps bind moisture molecules to the skin, so is a go-to in the cooler months as the skin dries out. We also love moisturisers enriched with glycerin, ceramides, shea butter and antioxidants such as Vitamin E. If you’re stepping out in the sun, don’t forget the SPF!
