Every winter the same thing happens: the heating goes on, the air dries out, and skin starts to feel tight, flaky and generally unhappy. Face and hands show it first, but shins and elbows are rarely far behind.
The fix is not complicated — it is just consistent. A simple daily moisture routine, done morning and night, keeps skin comfortable through the coldest months.
Start gentle in the morning
Cleanse with lukewarm water rather than hot — hot water strips the skin's natural oils faster. Pat dry instead of rubbing, then moisturise while skin is still slightly damp to help lock the moisture in. This one habit makes more difference than any single product.
One moisturiser for face and body
Winter routines get complicated fast, so a multitasker helps. The Ammuri Brightening Moisturiser for Face & Body (50g) (£19.99) is made to be used on both — face in the morning, and anywhere that feels dry through the day. Keeping one jar by the bathroom sink and using it twice daily beats a shelf of products you forget to use.
Do not forget the easy wins
Drink water through the day, run the heating a degree lower if you can, and wear gloves outside — wind is brutal on hands. In the evening, repeat the routine: cleanse gently, moisturise, and give dry patches like elbows and knees a little extra. Consistency beats intensity.
