The shift in seasons is often when skin goes awry. Beauty expert Hannah Betts shares her five-point, face-saving plan for the cooler months (stock image)
Oil up, inside and out. Supplements are your friend. A balance of omega 3 and 6 fatty acids is vital for human health; the former combatting inflammation in the skin and supporting its lipid barrier. Flaxseed oil is an excellent source. Two Solgar Cold Pressed Flaxseed Oil softgels (now £13.74 for 100, hollandandbarrett.com) should do the trick.
Great British brand Bare Biology Pure Omega-3 Liquid (£49.95, barebiology.com) has shown impressive results in addressing eczema, rosacea and acne. Made from sustainably sourced Norwegian fish oil, it contains 2,000mg of EPA and 1,000mg of DHA per teaspoon – the two most important types of omega 3.
Ditch exfoliants until matters have stabilised in favour of a good old-fashioned flannel. If your chemist's are too rough, seek out a soft, microfibre Make-up Eraser (£7.98 on amazon.co.uk).
Hot water may feel soothing but will strip natural oils, making tautness and sensitivity worse. Keep temperatures tepid and moisturise when damp to lock in nourishment.
Celebrating its 15th birthday, Emma Hardie's Moringa Cleansing Balm (now £37.50 rather than £75, shop.emmahardie.com) is a joy.
