This is the season when you are most likely to suffer from seasonal skin sensitivity. As a colder, drier climate kicks in, you may find that your skin feels tight and the skincare products you used during the more humid summer months are less effective. A dull complexion,flaky skin,red patches and itchiness are all signs of sensitivity. It may take your skin some time to adjust.

In the meantime here is the action plan:

• Switch to a richer cleanser and moisturiser than you used in summer-your skin needs extra hydration to cope with the cooler climate.
• Drink plenty of water to help keep your skin cells hydrated from the inside. Try to increase your usual intake by an extra couple of glasses every day.
• Super hydrate your skin before going to bed with facial oils, nourishing  night cream and a few extra drops of hydrating  serum
• Keep applying a nourishing lip balm to prevent chapping.

You should aim to wear sunscreen all year round even in Autumn and Winter. The sun's damaging UV rays are still present even on the greyest of days and although they are not as powerful as on sunny days they can still cause premature ageing and an increased risk of skin cancer.
