Don’t let dry skin get you down this Winter, instead drench your skin with a smoothing, soothing facial by Thalgo. Working to combat the first signs of ageing, this unique professional treatment drenches the skin with Native Marine Collagen, which has a remarkable bio-affinity.

Known collectively as striae, stretch marks are those unsightly, off-colour stretch that arise from tearing of the skin from sustained stretching. Stretch marks are most commonly associated with physical changes due to rapid growth, muscle building, weight gain, pregnancy, or even puberty, and if their appearance is starting to get to you, then you’ll be pleased to hear we’ve got the treatment for you.

Confused about what form of Vitamin A is right for your skin? Likely the correct active ingredient you’ve been looking for is hidden amongst plenty of other derivatives that claim to be the best, although they're not necessarily stable or will do all the things that they promise. We’ve done the research and broken it down for you, so you can rest assured you know what you’re putting on your skin.

 Feeling like everything is drying out this Winter? Your skin is likely trying to tell you something - it needs hydrating! As temperatures drop outdoors our sensitive skin has to deal with cold winds as well as artificial heat indoors, both of which can dry out skin - and not just on our faces either.

If addressing your scarring, large pores, and fine lines is a resolution this Winter, then starting out with some Direct Needle Therapy is a great way to go. Responsible for firming and tightening the skin, as well as evening out texture and tone, this particular therapy is a sure way to take control over any parts of your skin that feel less than beautiful.

Utilising the best needle cartridge innovation to be seen yet, Dermapen 4 glides better, and performs better thanks to the vertical microneedling which means no long circular motions. Used in the treatment of fine lines, acne, scarring and skin tightening, we think you’ll love Dermapen 4 just as much as we do.

Sleeping beauty has a whole new meaning thanks to the skin ‘care’ pillowcase from Ultraceuticals. Helping to prevent wrinkles and breakouts, and helping skin stay hydrated while you sleep - these special pillow cases are much easier on the skin than a typical cotton based fabric which can dry your face out throughout the night.

Dreaming of your next getaway? Don’t leave home without your skin essentials! To keep skin looking refreshed, glowing and healthy on your holidays, make sure to include a Ultraceutical Travel Pack in your suitcase, because skin care doesn’t have to go on holiday when you do.

Contrary to what one might think, the sun is not less harmful in winter. Although it may be hiding behind clouds, your skin is still exposed to the UV rays which emanate from the sky, and are reflected on the ground.

Moreover, individuals who practise mountain sports in winter increase their exposure to UV rays. In fact, the higher the altitude, the greater the exposure to UV rays. So if snowboarding or skiing is your thing, make sure to keep your skin protected and feeling good throughout the season.

In addition to helping you choose an adequate sunscreen, these tips can also protect you from UV rays during your favourite winter activities:

• Wear a hat. In addition to protecting you from the cold, a hat will also prevent you from getting a sunburn on your scalp and your ears. 
• Remember to protect your eyes! Because UV rays can be harmful to eye health, wear sunglasses or ski goggles with integrated UV protection.
