Winter self-care guide for women

24 Must-Haves For Your Winter Self-Care Routine

Now that the days are getting shorter, and we’re spending an increasing amount of time indoors, it’s important that we look after ourselves both inside and out. Getting enough exercise, taking Vitamin D supplements, if needed, and using an oil based moisturiser are just some of the tips suggested by Carmen Fookes, a Senior Editorial Pharmacist. Using this information, I have curated a list of items that I believe will help you to look, and most importantly, feel your best all winter long. From skin care products, to tips for better sleep and mindfulness, there’s sure to be something for all.

Most of the items I’ve listed below are under £50, so that you can master self-care all without breaking the bank. So slip in to your favourite pyjamas, light a candle and grab your favourite book, because we’re going through 24 of the best self-care items to help you look after yourself this winter.

Face

The cold, harsh weather can cause our skin to dry up and become itchy during the winter months. To combat these effects, choose a thicker moisturiser like the Harlo face cream, made specifically with dry and sensitive skin in mind. Adding serums to your skin care routine can also help to brighten your complexion to give you a healthy glow, whilst also delivering that well needed moisture.

Top Tip: A lot of people, (myself included!) seem to forget that applying SPF in the winter is just as important as applying it in the summer. Make sure to apply SPF generously and reapply every 2 hours to protect yourself from harmful UV rays.
