The cold weather can dry your skin out, but these brands have some great winter skincare ranges.
The autumn/winter months are creeping up on us, slowly but surely. We’re here to help sooth you into this, potentially, stressful time of year with some self care hidden gems that’ll not only benefit you, but also give some love back to our planet.
It’s no secret that this winter will be harder than ever. Anxiety, stress and general struggle will be prominent in many of our lives, let alone cold weather skincare. The following suggestions offer a small slice of peace and relaxation. Skincare, cosmetics and self-care brands are here to help you unwind as a reminder to look after yourself more than ever.
The importance of self-care
Self-care, by definition, is the act of taking time out of your day to do things that will benefit your lifestyle and improve both your physical and mental health. Spending time daily, or even just a few times a week, to look after your skin, will not only improve your physical appearance but also boost your mood, give some needed structure to your routine and offer some personal bonding time with yourself.
Facetheory
The perfect solution if you are looking for someone else to worry about your skin so you don’t have to. Facetheory makes it easy for you to select skincare that matches your skin, choosing from their range of vegan, cruelty-free and sustainable products that won’t cost you a fortune.
Raved about by a lot of people as ‘the only thing that saved their skin,’ and ‘the best products on the market,’ Facetheory is worth trying. Take a look at their website for advice on putting a skincare routine together and how to get into the habit of looking after yourself.

Lush
A brand you have probably heard of before, made popular for their aesthetic, seasonal, incredible smelling skincare and bath products that manage to stay vegan and cruelty-free whilst looking good enough to eat!

Hopefully, some inspiration has been sparked from this list, as self-care becomes more of a priority this winter, especially when we all are in need of it the most.
