The Murdock Guide to Winter Skincare
The ‘BIG FREEZE’ has gripped Britain, paralysing transport links, postponing sporting activity and generally causing mischief. In the midst of such ‘chaos’, skincare may well be low on your list of priorities, so here’s some handy advice to push it back up the agenda.
FACE
Taking care of your skin in the winter is crucial to looking alive and feeling just about human; it’s easy to neglect moisturising, especially when the mornings are cold and dark, and you minimise your grooming routine to try and squeeze that extra 15 minutes in bed.
Freezing temperatures and icy winds can dry out your skin in record time, leaving your face feeling tight and irritable and looking tired and worn. Regular moisturising (not just after shaving) will not only give you a nice luminous glow, but it will also make your face feel a lot more comfortable and relaxed, helping reduce stress and generally improving your life.

HANDS
It’s impossible to wear gloves ALL the time; eating, sleeping, toilet breaks… all occasions when gloves aren’t really appropriate. So to protect your hands 24/7, you really need to think about a hard-working hand cream.
Essential if you’re outdoors a lot, whether playing sport, maintaining the garden, or constantly smoking.

BODY
January is the month of resolutions and fitness drives, so it’s common to see a higher than usual amount of people pounding the pavements, cycling to work and generally keeping active. Unfortunately the cold weather means that going for a jog or a cycle can be fraught with danger; as well as icy pavements and dark street corners, one also has to consider the effects that extra exercise and extra layers will have on your comfort levels. Irritation and chafing can be a major hazard, so invest in an effective body moisturiser to keep everything working smoothly and painlessly.
