Stand a chance to win one of 20 big bottles of Bio-Oil to see you through the rest of winter!
If winter’s icy grip is playing havoc with your skin, our experts agree that the best way to tackle dry, itchy skin is by hydrating from both the inside and out. This means drinking plenty of water and herbal teas and also protecting your skin’s own moisture layer by using an oil-based product, like Bio-Oil.
Use a few drops of Bio-Oil Body Oil in your bath and also after your bath or shower while your skin is still warm. This will apply a thin layer of protective oil on the skin’s surface which slows down water loss (the cause of dry skin) and increases the skin’s moisture content leaving it soft and supple.
Bio-Oil asked Cape Town based Dermatologist, Dr. Dilshaad Asmal, for her top tips on how to keep your skin glowing during the dry winter months:
• Use products suited to your skin type and cleansers with a 5.5PH balance
• Avoid alcohol based products which exacerbate dry skin
• Use lukewarm water – hot or cold water can cause broken capillaries and leave your skin blotchy
• Moisturise immediately after cleansing to recuperate lost oils
