Skincare 101 with Darcy Laceby, Co-founder of Absolute Collagen

Darcy reveals 10 top tips to keep your winter skin woes at bay…

#1 Avoid washing your face in too hot water.

Hot water strips your skin of its natural oils, leaving it dry and more vulnerable to the harsh winter air.

#2 Layer your skincare like clothing.

Imagine you’re dressing your skin for the weather. Start with our hydrating collagen-boosting SERUM , then our rich, protecting DAY CREAM, finishing with a protective balm. This combo will help seal in moisture and create a barrier against cold winds.

#3 Don’t skip SPF - even on gloomy days.

Winter skies may be grey, but UV rays are still present. Try our SPF30 DAY CREAM with broad-spectrum protection to guard against premature ageing and damage.

#4 Use a lip balm on your cuticles.

Cold weather often leaves cuticles dry and cracked, but if you're on the go and don’t have hand cream, a good lip balm can double as a soothing, portable fix for both your lips and hands.

#5 Eat your skincare with seasonal produce and collagen.

Winter squash, kale, and citrus are packed with skin-loving nutrients like vitamin A, C, and antioxidants to help you fight dryness. Plus, taking our LIQUID COLLAGEN SUPPLEMENT every day will help you look and feel great from the inside out.

#6 Mix up your collagen recipe.

Why not try adding your daily dose of our LIQUID COLLAGEN SUPPLEMENT into a hot drink to keep you warm (and your wellbeing taken care of) on the go.

#7 Let’s talk about eyes.

The delicate skin around your eyes requires special care – especially when they’re exposed to the elements during the cold snap. Apply 3 small dots of our DEEP LIFT EYE CREAM to the eye contour and gently dab into the skin using your finger.

#8 It’s not just your face that needs TLC.

Invest in a good hand cream and don’t neglect the other areas of skin that are exposed throughout the day – like your neck and chest. Our DEEP LIFT NECK & DEC CREAM lifts, sculpts and instantly tightens for an utterly delectable décolletage.

#9 Drink, drink, drink!

Our thirst response in colder months diminishes, so it’s easy to forget to drink throughout the day. Set a reminder to ensure your body is H2O happy – your skin, hair and nails will thank you too.

#10 Exfoliate less.

Buff and scrub your skin less harshly and less often during winter as the cold weather can already compromise your skin barrier.

Follow these 10 quick wins and you’ll be sure to keep your skin looking and feeling its ABSOLUTE best this winter.
