I'm not someone that deals too well with dramatic changes, I need to be eased in gently and quietly. But with the way it looks outside, the weather clearly didn't get the memo and went full on winter! With this cold crisp air also brings low humidity, plummeting temperatures and frosty mornings meaning a lot of changes for my skin. Winter is notorious for leaving my skin feeling dry, cracked and irritated causing a lot of problems that can often lead to extra sensitive skin.
And so the time has come to adapt to a winter friendly skincare routine. In general, my skin needs a lot more love this time of year, so I tend to switch up my daily and nightly routine so I can deal with those changes in my skin.
While I would always recommend a gentle cleanser anyway, but this is essential in the winter when your skin is really dehydrated. You don't want to strip your skin of those natural oils by using a harsh cleanser. If you don't already, something that I would recommend you add into your winter skincare routine is a vitamin c essence. My favourite is LUMENE Valo (Light) Glow Boost Essence which is a foolproof solution for reviving fatigued and dull looking skin and instead swapping it out for a glow. I love this essence and use it all year round.
Skipping on the moisturiser is an absolute no no in the winter. If you can just change one thing then please please get yourself a good moisturiser to help tackle your dry and delicate skin during winter. I''ve always struggled to get a good balance with my winter skincare routine and that I use too many products or not enough. So trust when I say that I have tried a lot of products and many creamy moisturisers over the years.
OK, so as far as CBD in skincare goes, I'll be honest I've always been a little dubious. Beauty trends come and go quicker than we're able to keep up with sometimes, and when CBD came on the scene a couple of years ago promising skincare miracles it seemed too good to be true.
But what is CBD?
But CBD has flooded the health and wellness space and it seems to be everywhere! But what exactly is CBD, and how has it become an ingredients that many of us want to to try? CBD is an extract known as cannabidiol, and it's a part of a class of compounds known as cannabinoids found in cannabis plants. This naturally occurring substance is extracted and mixed with a carrier oil, often hemp seed or coconut to create CBD.
This natural remedy boasts an incredibly wide range of health benefits. From treating a variety of physical and mental condition such as stress, anxiety, chronic pain depression to promoting a better night' sleep to helping with inflammation and fast becoming a luxury wellness and beauty ingredient.
Nutritive CBD Dermavive Ultra Cream
This super nourishing moisturiser is the perfect all rounder for those with dry and delicate skin. It is formulated with CBD and rich in natural ingredients that deeply hydrate the skin, providing calm, soothing results without any unwanted greasy layer of oil. I love that it's infused with Blackberry and Yang Yang but in no way overpowering like some other scented moisturisers I have.
The moisturiser is cruelty free, 100% organic and suitable for vegans. The Dermavive Ultra CBD cream costs £39.99 for 50ml; a little goes a long way here! You can get it from the Nutrivive website, where you can also get various concentrations CBD pure oil and blends.
