Your Winter Skincare Guide

As the air grows crisp and the days shorten, your skin starts feeling the change too. You might notice extra dryness, or that dull “winter complexion” creeping in.

That’s because colder months bring lower humidity, harsher winds, and indoor heating…

Which can strip your skin of its natural moisture and protective oils.

So, just like you swap your light summer linens for cosy knits, your skin needs a little seasonal switch too.

Here’s how to adapt your skincare routine for the cooler season, and why it matters.

Why Changing Your Routine Matters

Your skin’s needs aren’t static. They shift with the seasons, just like the weather outside.

In summer, your focus is often on oil control, sun protection, and keeping your skin fresh and light.

But winter calls for deeper nourishment, hydration, and barrier repair. Without these changes, your skin can become dry. 

Even sensitive, and more prone to irritation or redness.

The good news? With a few tweaks, you can keep your skin radiant and supple all season long.

Step 1: Start With a Gentle Cleanse

Begin and end your day with a mild, hydrating cleanser.

Foaming or stripping cleansers can make dryness worse in winter. So Dr. Sister always suggests reaching for a cream or oil-based formula. This will remove impurities while respecting your skin’s moisture barrier.

Think of cleansing as the foundation of your routine…A clean, calm canvas that’s ready to soak up hydration.

Step 2: Layer on Hydration

Cold weather calls for layering. Not just in your wardrobe, but in your skincare too.

After cleansing, apply a hydrating serum rich in hyaluronic acid. A true hero for restoring lost moisture and strengthening your skin’s barrier.

Then, lock everything in with a rich moisturiser like Younger You Skin Cream. With its age-defying extracts it can hydrate each layer of your skin.  

Pro tip: Apply your moisturiser while your skin is still slightly damp to help seal in hydration.

Step 3: Don’t Skip Exfoliation

Even in winter, exfoliation is key. 

You see, dry air can lead to a build-up of dead skin cells. Leaving your complexion looking dull and drained. 

So make sure to use a gentle exfoliant once or twice a week. This will help reveal fresh, glowing skin beneath.

Your skin will thank you. And your serums and moisturisers will absorb more effectively too.

Step 4: Nourish From Within

Glowing skin doesn’t just come from what you put on it…

But also what you put in your body.

Make sure to drink plenty of fluids (yes, even when you don’t feel thirsty). 

Dr. Sister also recommends including skin-loving fats and nutrients in your meals. Like extra virgin olive oil, oily fish, nuts and even raw honey.

And why not add Inner Beauty to your skincare routine. Combining 10 of the most powerful “beauty enhancers” to support your skin from inside out 

Helping you maintain elasticity and enjoy that winter glow. 

Step 5: SPF Still Matters

Even though the sun feels weaker, UV rays are present year-round…

Which means they can still damage your skin and speed up signs of ageing.

So keep your SPF in your routine every single day.  And make it your final step in the morning, before heading out into the chilly air.

Winter Ready

Your skin deserves as much care in winter as it does in summer. So, by slightly adjusting your routine…

And focusing on deep hydration, you can protect your complexion. And keep it glowing all through the colder months.

But remember: consistency can make all the difference…

Helping you feel calm, cared for, and confident in your own skin, no matter the weather.

Perfecting Your Summer Skincare Routine

As the days grow warmer, your skin needs special attention to stay healthy and radiant.

You see, your skin changes throughout the year. Meaning your winter routine won’t quite cut it in the summer. 

That’s because winter requires heavier moisture and nourishment. While you need lighter cover during the warmer months. 

So, a thoughtful summer skincare routine can help you look and feel your best…

While also preparing your skin to cope with the extra sweat and sun exposure. 

Here’s how…

Start with a Clean Slate

Begin each day by washing your face with a gentle cleanser. 

Helping remove over-night sweat and oil, which could clog your pores.  

Then always cleanse in the evenings as well. 

Not only to remove any make-up, product build-up and sweat. But also to help cleanse your skin from the daily pollution…

Getting your complexion ready for the next steps to your routine. 

Remember to choose a cleanser which hydrates while cleans. So your skin can stay soft and refreshed for longer. 

Exfoliate Your Skin

Exfoliating helps remove dead skin cells, revealing fresh, radiant skin underneath. 

To keep your skin vibrant, especially during summer, exfoliate once to twice a week. 

This will keep your pores clear and help your products absorb better. Meaning your skincare steps will work more effectively. 

To avoid irritation, especially when it comes to sensitive skin, make sure you use a gentle exfoliant. 

Chemical exfoliants are ideal for this, rather than physical ones, like coffee or sugar scrubs. As these can easily cause irritation. 

Targeted Care

Struggling with hyperpigmentation, a dull-looking complexion or acne scars? 

Well now is the time to tackle these specific skin concerns. 

For your next step, choose a serum which addresses your concerns. Adding an extra layer of care. 

During the summer, a vitamin C serum is ideal. To help brighten your complexion and protect against sun damage. 

All thanks to its powerful antioxidant properties. 

So why not give Dr. Sister’s Vitamin C Brightening Serum a try…

Alternatively, look for multi-peptide or hyaluronic acid serums. Helping to improve elasticity, skin texture and deep hydration. 

And if you’re worried about dark spots this summer, then Dark Spot Vanish is for you. Helping tackle existing spots and shield against the creation of new ones. 

Hydration Station 

Applying a light moisturiser comes next. 

Helping to lock in moisture without feeling heavy. Dr. Sister’s Younger You can be perfect for this step. 

Remember to apply your moisturiser using an upwards motion with your hands. 

Don’t forget to also use your products of choice on your neck and decolletage. 

The last and most important step… Sun protection! 

Your best defence against sun damage and even premature ageing in the summer. 

Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every morning, on all uncovered skin. 

We recommend doing this 20 minutes before leaving the house. To allow plenty of time for your sun cream to absorb and start working. 

Remember to reapply often throughout the day. Especially if you’re spending time outdoors. 

Summer Ready 

Consistency is the secret to beautiful, age-less skin. 

So make sure you follow your summer routine daily, and be patient.

Best results come with time and dedication…

And simple steps can lead to stunning results. So you can enjoy the warm weather with confidence, knowing your skin is well cared for.

Skincare Over 50 Made Simple: How To Create Your Perfect Ritual

Finding the perfect skincare routine is crucial, especially after 50.

As time passes, your complexion can become weakened, leading to irritation and dryness. But a simple routine can be just what you need, to help you feel confident at any age!

So here’s how to create your perfect skincare ritual, step by step. 

Cleansing: A Fresh Start

Before you apply any products, always start by using a gentle cleanser…

To ensure your skin is free from any pollutants, which could cause blocked pores and irritation. 

Choose a gentle, hydrating cleanser to remove impurities without stripping your skin of its natural oils.

Cleansing will help prepare your skin for the next steps, ensuring your skincare products are absorbed effectively. 

Hydration: Lock in Moisture 

After you’ve cleansed, it’s now important to rehydrate your skin. 

A quality anti-ageing moisturiser will not only help to replenish and lock in moisture, but also target fine lines and wrinkles. 

For a “youthful-infusion”, giving your skin just what it’s craving. 

We recommend Dr. Sister’s Younger You for this step. 

Start by warming it up between fingers and then apply gently in upwards circular motions for the best results. 

Use this morning and night for best results. 

Anti-Ageing Superheroes

Now is the time to use products for specific skin concerns. Such as dark spots, acne scars, or hyperpigmentation.

For this step consider using Dr. Sister’s Dark Spot Vanish. 

Helping you get rid of dark spots and achieve an even, youthful complexion at any age. 

Apply this gently with your ring finger, to avoid tugging on any sensitive skin. Use on your face, chest, neck or any other parts of your body, as needed.

If you’d like to target  sagging, crepey skin you could choose Crepe Rewind. For a smoother, tighter look on all areas of your body, such as arms, chest or even your legs. 

Sun Protection: Shield Your Skin 

Protecting your skin from the sun’s UV rays is non-negotiable. 

So for your next step, we recommend using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least an SPF30. 

Use this daily in the morning, after you’ve applied your moisturiser. And don’t forget to do this even on cloudy days!

To safeguard your skin from further damage and premature ageing. 

And if you want to go the extra mile…

Don’t forget your neck, chest and other parts of your body, which might also get exposed to sunlight.

Ritual for Your Eyes Only

Last but not least come your eyes, one of the most sensitive areas of your body…

And one that can quickly give away your age, if plagued with crow’s feet, dull skin and under-eye circles. 

Which is why we recommend using a light, gentle eye cream, to relieve puffiness and reduce the appearance of dark circles and fine lines.

Don’t forget to also apply this gently, using your ring finger.

The best time for an eye cream is as part of your night-time routine. As during the night your skin cells regenerate and you naturally produce more collagen…

So, combining this natural process with a targeted eye cream, will help combate signs of ageing and revitalise the skin around your eyes.

A Boost From Within

When caring for your skin, you don’t have to stick to the surface. 

So the best way to fully boost your skincare results is to also nourish your skin from within…

Dr. Sister’s Inner Beauty is the perfect choice. A unique beauty enhancing formula with all the powerful nutrients your body needs…For healthy, smoother skin with just one capsule! 

And what’s more…

Inner Beauty can also help you achieve stronger, healthier hair and nails. For a younger-looking, glowing appearance from top to bottom.

Bonus Tip

Did you know thinning, dull-looking lashes and eyebrows can also reveal your age? 

These might not be part of your usual skincare routine, but with a little extra care they can truly transform your look!

For this we suggest using a natural lash and eyebrow serum as your very last step. Helping you regain thick, strong, glowing lashes and healthy, shaped eyebrows.

So why not try out Dr. Sister’s Lash Saviour serum…to help you look as young as you feel! 

Consistency: Stick to Your Ritual

As always, consistency is key to radiant, youthful-looking skin. 

So, stick to your ritual and be patient. With consistent care you will start to notice some amazing results! 

And remember: simple is best. Skincare over 50 doesn’t have to be complicated. 

By following these easy steps, which cater to your skin’s changing needs…You too can achieve a youthful, radiant look.

So you can age gracefully and confidently.
