Post summer SOS

Summer can take its toll on our skin and hair, with our tans slowly fading and our skin feeling dry from air conditioning, chlorine and too much sun – it’s time to get back your glow.

Sitting in air-conditioned rooms and planes absorbs the skins natural moisture leaving it feeling dry and parched and it can be particularly detrimental to those who have skin conditions such as eczema, rosacea or psoriasis. However, giving your skin a little TLC with some carefully selected skin saviors will bring your complexion back from the brink, leaving it looking healthy and glowing again.

Products enriched with natural moisturising ingredients contain vital nutrients and moisture the skin needs for optimum health and radiance. Try using the RosehipPLUS Hydrating Cream, £24, allaboutbeauty.com  within  your  beauty  routine, the added avocado, chamomile, rose geranium and rosehip oil will hydrate the skin instantly, maintain softness and hydrating creamencourage healthier, more youthful looking skin.
