Summer is officially over- the cold, wet and miserable winter weather is firmly on its way and its time to brush the dust off those coats and boots! Out comes the hosiery, scarves, gloves and hats to cover up and keep warm to protect your skin from the harshness of winter. But how else can we protect our skin?
What we require are good cleansers to scrub up the skin and keep it moisturised.
HOW - TO: Cleanse your face properly
STEP1: Soak a cotton ball with eye makeup remover, close your eyes and gently press onto the eyelids. Hold for a few seconds and then swipe away.
STEP2: Cleanse your face by massaging in a cleanser in circular motions to stimulate your skin and bring the oxygen to the surface to give you a healthy glow!
STEP3: The average person generates a new layer of skin every 2-4weeks and so it is essential to exfoliate your skin on a regular basis in order to speed up this process. Exfoliating correctly will leave your skin fresh.
STEP4: Finish off with a face mask to draw out further impurities that lie beneath the top skin layer to help brighten and hydrate your complexion.

Eve Lom Cleanser at John Lewis (FROM £55)
The starting point of the Eve Lom routine. It is a solid cleanser but which melts on contact with the skin as you massage in. It not only helps clean- removing every trace of makeup but helps to exfoliate when used with the trademark muslin cloth. (included). It leaves skin super soft that is suitable for all skintypes.
Another combo- a cleanser and exfoliator in one. Leave your skin refreshed with cleanser that has a rich and creamy texture. Then with the muslin cloth polish the skin to 'gently dislodge' those dead skin cells, makeup (even that stubborn mascara!)
A perfect cleanser to use first thing in the morning! With soothing jasmine flower extract, moisturising kukui nut oil, it helps rejuvenate the skin for the day ahead. Or try at night for a calming way to end a long and tiring day! Impurities are dissolved from the surface of the skin and removes makeup without leaving your skin tight or dry.
As this is deemed a cleansing water rather than a gel or cream, this is one of the gentlest cleanser on the market! Its hydrating and smoothing and can be used in the eye area.

The water also includes vitamin B3 helping to illuminate and even out your skintone leaving you with a brighter complexion.
