From the top trends to tips that will keep your skin happily hydrated, it’s time to amp up your beauty routine in time for the winter season
The New Taupe
Slightly more understated yet just as statement-making alternative to summer’s bold hues, shake up your shades this winter with a soft mauve palette that will make your eyes pop. Dubbed ‘the new taupe’ by Hollywood makeup artist Jillian Dempsey, keep the rest of your look simple with soft lips and a perfectly manicured brow.
Pretty In Pink
A cheeky answer to classic crimsons and subdued roseates, soft fuchsia shades are indulging our penchant for play this season. Be sure to use products that are easy to blend, and for extra style points opt for a subtle combination of matte and shimmer. Complete the look with nude glossy lips and a hint of blusher.
Hydration Station
While the UAE winters may not be quite as extreme as our European counterparts, the change in temperature can still cause havoc to our skin. It’s the perfect time to rethink your skincare routine to battle environmental stresses and preserve your skin’s delicate barrier – look to skincare that contains ingredients such as niacinamide, which is not only anti-inflammatory and fights uneven pigmentation, it helps to lock important moisture into your skin. Don’t forget your SPF protection either.
The Eyes Have It
Skin around the eye can get crepey in the cooler months, so invest in an eye cream to keep the wrinkles at bay. Applying eye cream should be a daily step in your skincare routine, so keep a pot, tube or bottle on your night stand for best results.
Night Owl
It ’s during your forty winks that the skin goes into repair and restore mode, so nailing your nighttime regime is just as important when the cooler weather sets in. Cleanse with a non-drying light acid cleanser, and follow up with an active product, such as retinol and peptides, which are the two most proven ingredients when it comes to skin health and regeneration.
