Most of us struggle with the seasonal change and the skin problems that arise when the air becomes cold and dry.
Lock in some extra moisture with this hydrating NIOD skin care routine, which involves highly targeted formulas to improve your skin’s appearance and overall health.
In this routine, our Beauty Editor Joanna Flemming demonstrates how to transform dry, flaky skin into a glowing complexion with some of NIOD’s top products.
Winter Skincare Tips:
- Upgrade your H.A. serum - If you’ve started on a H.A. serum and found the results have been waning, winter is the perfect time to try a more potent Hyaluronic Acid.
- Switch to a richer moisturiser with highly emollient ingredients to lock in moisturise.
- Stick with your SPF - the UV index is incredibly high even in the colder months so remember to stick with your favourite sunscreen all year round.
What’s the difference between NIOD and The Ordinary?
NIOD is a line of skin care created by DECIEM, who are the same company who brought you The Ordinary.
As Deciem’s CEO Nicola discusses in our Podcast Episode 9: How The Ordinary Gained Cult Status, there are distinct differences between the two skin care lines.
Essentially, The Ordinary was created to deliver effective short-term results, whereas the more complex, targeted and patented technology in NIOD helps improve the long term health and integrity of the skin.
This is why you see a significant difference in their price tag (and also their packaging!)
So, if you’ve been using The Ordinary for a while and have found that the effects have started to wane, why not try an upgrade?
