Let’s sneakily kick dull winter to the kerb, shall we?

As soon as the sun comes out to shine, I’m assuming your first concern is your paler-than-you’d-like legs and not-exactly-super-smooth thighs. Well, I’m here to tell you that it’s not just your body that needs attention come springtime – your face does too…

HOW TO DITCH DULL WINTER SKIN
To gain back your pre-winter radiance, you need to revive your skin to get it back to its glowy best. But rather than stick a rocket under its cute toosh, switching up your skin care regimen is the key. It’s time to ditch the old products that have passed their use-by date and give your skin what it needs – exfoliation and hydration.

Start by making a concerted effort to exfoliate twice a week to remove dead skin cells and stimulate cell renewal. Smooth skin reflects the light better, helping to give you an instant radiant glow. To amp up this radiance even more, you’ll need to focus on moisturising. Do apply a hydrating serum after toning along with a moisture-boosting eye cream to treat your skin concerns. Do follow that up with a luxurious moisturiser to act as a blanket on your skin so it can protect the ingredients you feed into your skin. And finally, do adopt good SPF habits. If you don’t wish to apply a separate sunscreen, for the love of non-leathery skin, please apply a day moisturiser with an added SPF each and every morning. No buts – just do it.

SOME FANTASTIC PRODUCT SUGGESTIONS
Finding a range of skin care products that suit your skin concerns and needs is a tough gig, but the good news is this: there is now a dedicated skin care line meeting the needs of all different skin varieties.

beauties, please give a warm, fuzzy welcoming hug to Elizabeth Arden Visible Difference – a skin care line that features a range of different products for specialised skin types (think oily, combination, and dry and dehydrated) that are designed to be mixed and matched. Yep, that’s right – all the products in the collection work together to give you the best skin you can have, and can be switched and swapped depending on your seasonal skin concerns. Feeling a little dry in winter? Reach for the Gentle Hydrating Regimen range. Find your skin is super-oily during the height of summer? It’s time to adopt the Oil-Free Regimen. Or maybe your skin sits somewhere in the middle? No worries – the Skin Balancing Regimen will suit you to a tee.

But what makes this skin care line so modern is its out-of-the-box thinking. By creating these three lines that are designed to all work side-by-side, Elizabeth Arden is actually encouraging you to use a cleanser from the Oil-Free Regimen if your skin needs it, and then combine it with the Skin Balancing Regimen serum if your skin needs a little extra hydration boost. Why? Because it’s what your skin needs. You’re not stuck with the same group of products all year round – you’ve got options. Added bonus: your skin won’t freak out when you make a small switch either. Coming from the same skin care family, these products have got each other’s backs. So. Stinkin’. Smart.
