Change moisturiser for winter skin care regime
Fans of natural skin care who are struggling with sore and red skin this winter should consider changing their moisturiser, according to one expert who said the colder months need strong treatments.
Consultant dermatologist Dr Susan Mayou told the Metro that trying a stronger moisturiser is a good way to remedy red skin and also advised avoiding harder water which is often found in London.
"If your high street moisturiser no longer meets your needs, use a stronger one. London water is harder than any other part of England and strips the skin of its natural oils," he said.
The expert added that people can soften their bath water by pouring in a capful of oil, such as almond or olive, and use a mild, soap-free wash for sensitive skin.
Male fans of natural skin care who want to keep their face in top condition while growing a beard need to make sure they are moisturising enough, according to Roy Patterson, a barber at Alfred Dunhill.
