Refine your skin...

Winter is coming, that’s a fact, and with it comes all sorts of skincare issues. For me, the combination of cold weather and central heating mean dry patches and a ‘tightening feeling’ are more prevalent.

Extra rich moisturisers are a must, but it’s also the time of year when we need to do more exfoliating, making sure that we get rid of the dead skin cells.

So, a facial scrub is also a must, and the new Aveda Tourmaline Charged Radiant Skin Refiner is my latest must-have in that department.

This creamy exfoliating facial scrub is formulated with natural extracts of bamboo and finely powdered tourmaline which removes skin-dulling and skin-clogging cells.

The scrub has a white clay bases which means it deep cleans, detoxifies and refines pores.

Tourmaline is a naturally energising mineral, and it gives skin a healthy glow. This scrub really does do that – once you’ve used it, you can see the glow immediately.

You apply it to a moist face, neck and decollete and massage it in, then remove it with warm moistened facecloths.

You then just need to blot dry and brush away any little remaining particles. It’s easy to use in the shower if you just step out of the water flow a little.

You should really use this twice a week to see results, especially at this time of year.
