When the temperature plummets, it’s necessary to bring out theย skincareย big guns. You might supplement your routine with ingredients like hydratingย hyaluronic acidย and repairingย ceramides, or switch to a heavierย moisturizerย to cocoonย dry,ย sensitiveย skin. But autumn and winter is also the best time to start using one unlikely skincare ingredient.
Whether you’re a skincare obsessive or simply a cleanse-and-moisturise type of person, you’ve probably heard dermatologists extolling the virtues of vitamin A (akaย retinol). By speeding up skin cell turnover, the powerful skin ingredient has the ability to unclog pores (lesseningย breakouts), fadeย hyperpigmentationย and minimise the appearance ofย fine lines and wrinkles.
