We might be past the shortest day, but winter is still very much with us here in the UK, and so your skin care routine needs to remain vigilant and up to the task of meeting the demands of the strains that the season places on us, both the cold outside, and the drying central heating systems that blast hot air through our offices, homes and cars.
And the vicious heating on the inside combined with the chill winds that whip along the streets outside is a combination that brings many people problems during the darker months, especially with dealing with how the hydrate their skin. Luckily, Scinboutique are not just a leading spa in Notting Hill, but also a provider of fantastic natural and organic skincare products, allowing our customers to replicate the experience of pampering themselves at home, whenever they like.
A great 24 hour cream that serves as both a shielding cream and also an intensive natural moisturiser for skin is the Taer Icelandic 24hr Cream, which is made from yarrow and chickweed – two natural products that are well loved by Scinboutique for their moisturising properties. The cream is Paraben free, and contains no petrochemicals, meaning that you can apply it with the knowledge that it is much kinder for the skin than conventionally produced moisturisers.
To celebrate getting over the hump in winter this product is currently reduced by 20 at scinboutique, making it the perfect treat for yourself or a loved one to ring in the New Year with.
When you step in from the cold there is nothing as replenishing and uplifting as a nice long bath or hot shower, and Scinboutique carry a broad range of bath oils that are designed to soothe tired muscles and worn out minds – two common symptoms of this time of year.
One company we love is Be Genki, who produce a line of moisturising natural body bath and shower oils that nourish and moisturise the skin with fatty acids and a mixture of natural oils, such as almond oil in their warming Vitality bath and shower oil, and Lavender oil, sweet orange and sandalwood in their tranquillity bath and shower oil – the perfect accompaniment to a lazy evening warming your body in the bath tub.
Thanks to the natural ingredients that these bath oils contain you can be assured that the immediate, sensory treat will be matched with a healthy balm for your skin will love well into the future, unlike the non natural, chemical and synthetic riddled products that have dominated the marketplace for so long, and which are now being linked to more and more health problems, from sensitive skin reactions to carcinogenic properties.
Another welcome trick for people looking to protect their skin during the winter may seem slightly counter intuitive for a country like England, where the sun is not guaranteed to shine even during the height of the summer months, but it is, nonetheless, rather worthwhile in adhering to for the simple fact that it works; wear sunscreen. Sunscreen moisturizes the skin and also protects from the dangers of the sun, which are actually still present even when the weather is feeling cold and nasty.
