Hydrators

It goes without saying that you should wash your face twice a day and remove your make up, it gets rid of the oils and dirt that have built up on your skins surface. These oils and dirt can clog pores and leave you with bogged down skin. Washing your skin reduces the natural oils on the surface and leaves it needing a dose of hydration through a hydrator. If you skip it after washing your face, your skin is more likely to look older and will expose any visible fine wrinkles. Use Soap and Glory's Bright Here Bright Now' (£12) for an instant radiance energy boost balm and helps hydrate, smooth and energize the skin!

Water

Remember to hydrate from the inside and out, excessive alcohol and diuretic hot drinks like tea and coffee in the winter months dehydrates the skin. The best and cheapest, way to prevent dry skin is to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out by drinking lots of water and don't drink white wine as this will dry your skin out along with your purse. Drinking water will make your skin look healthier, but it will feel smoother and softer.
