Easy 5 Step Winter Skincare Routine for Dry Dull Skin

For those of us with dry skin, the winter means one thing, and one thing only, a dull and flakey complexion.

With the shift in weather and a drop in temperature, we need to be switching up our skincare routine just like we switch up our wardrobes. When you unpack your wooly layers for the winter, take this as the perfect opportunity to put your thicker and more hydrating products to the front of your bathroom cabinet. That’s if you haven’t already!

With the bitter cold temperatures, dry air and admittedly sitting too close to the radiator, our skin can react by becoming chapped, parched, flakey and dull. To help your skin bounce back to its dewy summer glow, we have outlined an easy 5 step winter skincare routine for dry skin.

Obagi Nu-Derm Fx® System

The Obagi Nu-Derm Fx® System is your go-to winter skincare routine if you suffer with dry dull skin. With a skincare regime purposefully formulated for your skincare needs, this is a complete one-stop-shop system that has been created to work synergistically together. What makes it even easier? Each product is numbered with their order of use, and even indicates whether it should be used morning or evening, or both. Simple.

Winter Skincare Routine

Step 1: Obagi Nu-Derm Fx® Gentle Cleanser

Specifically formulated for Normal to Dry skin, the Obagi Nu-Derm Fx® Gentle Cleanser will gently remove everyday environmental impurities and makeup, without stripping your skin of its natural oils. Say goodbye to cleansers that leave your complexion feeling tight and dry. The Obagi Nu-Derm Fx® Gentle Cleanser will instead soothe and hydrate your skin with natural ingredients such as Aloe, Glycerin, Oat Amino Acids and Apricot Kernel Oil whilst still preparing your skin for the next steps in your skincare regime.

Step 2: Obagi Nu-Derm Fx® Toner

If you read some other skincare blogs, they might tell you to skip using a toner during the colder winter months. The notion that toners can be drying on the skin is greatly disproved with the Obagi Nu-Derm Fx® Toner formulation. With its non-drying and alcohol-free formula, your skin will still benefit from the pH level correction and rebalancing properties. With key ingredients such as Witch Hazel and soothing Aloe, this is one step you won’t want to skip over this winter.

Step 3: Obagi Nu-Derm® Clear Fx

If you are in search of that youthful and luminous complexion, the third step in the Obagi Nu-Derm Fx® System is essential, whether you experience dry or oily skin during the winter. The Obagi Nu-Derm® Clear Fx is formulated with 7% Arbutin, a natural and effective skin-brightening agent. The Obagi Nu-Derm® Clear Fx uses Antioxidants and exfoliants to even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation. With this skincare step, you won’t just have hydrated skin, but a luminous and glowing complexion to boot.

Step 4: Obagi Nu-Derm Fx® Exfoderm

Exfoliating dull and dry winter skin is another step you may have heard through the grapevine, is one to skip. After all, surely exfoliating will further dry out your skin? Quite the opposite. For dry skin, a light exfoliation is essential. If you have flakey and dull skin, this can leave the best of skincare regimes left wanting. Without removing the dead skin cells on the surface, your skincare will not penetrate to the layers beneath to deeply hydrate. Removing the dead surface skin cells with the gentle Obagi Nu-Derm Fx® Exfoderm will increase skin cell turnover and reveal new, brighter glowing skin. This step in your winter skincare routine will also make all your other products more effective. Consider it an investment!

SHOP OBAGI NU-DERM FX® EXFODERM

Step 5: Obagi Nu-Derm® Blend Fx

Step #5 of the Obagi Nu-Derm Fx® System is Obagi Nu-Derm® Blend Fx. This step in the system will help to clarify and brighten your skin, perfect for combating a dull winter complexion. Also formulated using 7% of the active ingredient Arbutin, as well as antioxidants and lactic acid. Obagi Nu-Derm® Blend Fx helps deliver your Retinol 0.5, Vitamin A, deeper into the skin, this step will leave your skin looking luminous. A far cry from parched or flakey skin.

SHOP OBAGI NU-DERM® BLEND FX

Once you have completed your winter skincare routine, lock in all of the active ingredients with Obagi Hydrate®. Your thirsty skin will drink up this intense dose of moisture for instant and continuous hydration. For your morning skincare routine, don’t forget to top this off with the Obagi Sun Shield Matte™ Broad Spectrum SPF50. Nothing will quite undo all of your skincare’s hard work like UV damage.

If you are unsure if the Obagi Nu-Derm Fx® System is for you, do not hesitate to ask our Medical Partner.

What Results Can I Expect from Obagi360® System?

OBAGI360 HydraFactor® Broad Spectrum SPF 30

OBAGI360® System

To achieve optimal results from skincare products, a system is the best option. That’s because products within a skincare system, have been created to work synergistically and complement one another. Obagi have created a number of skincare systems formulated for different skin types. Depending on your concerns, we have a comprehensive skincare system to suit your needs.

It’s true that some people make the mistake of treating skincare as a low priority during their twenties and thirties. Trouble is, by the time they do, it may already be too late.

Fine lines
Wrinkles
Sun damage
Rough texture
Loss of resilience
Dullness
Dehydration

These are all skin concerns that typically occur as we age. Fortunately, prioritising skincare early on can visibly improve skin texture and condition. The OBAGI360® System has been specifically formulated for those within the 20-30 age-group, to preserve youthful looking skin. Enlarged pores, acne and blemishes are also common concerns during this age-range. OBAGI360® System tackles these concerns, leaving skin fresh, purified and all importantly, clearer. Make an early intervention with this unique, outstanding combination of effective ingredients. By doing so, you’re setting a foundation for a lifetime of beautiful, radiant skin.

SHOP OBAGI360® SYSTEM

OBAGI360® Retinol 0.5

You might be under the impression that Retinol is a product for mature skin. Let’s put that belief to bed once and for all. Retinol is indeed one of the most effective anti-ageing products. As we get older, our body’s natural skin cell turnover slows down. Retinol is a product that can boost this process. That’s because it increases collagen production in the dermis. By doing so, skin elasticity is improved, skin appears youthful and fine lines, wrinkles and crow’s feet are smoothed.

Increased cell turnover also keeps pores clear and reduces acne. This is another fantastic benefit for anyone who suffers from acne, blemishes or enlarged pores. After continuous use, skin looks clearer and healthier. It’s understandable that you might have concerns about Retinol though. There is plenty of misinformation on the internet about it. There’s also no doubt that it’s a powerful active ingredient. In truth, it can take skin a little while to adjust to some Retinol products on the market sometimes with redness, dryness and some minor irritation. Obagi takes skin irritation extremely seriously and has carried out skin trials to assess irritation after 3 weeks to ensure that their products are minimally irritating. Be reassured that Retinol is completely safe when used correctly.

Our advice is always to begin with a low strength Retinol and gradually build up. This allows your skin time to get used to the product. If you’re new to Retinol, you might like to try OBAGI360® Retinol 0.5. It’s a low-level Retinol cream to help improve complexion and smooth uneven texture. After use, expect clearer, more youthful-looking skin. Signs of premature ageing are also minimised, and it prevents further skin damage too.

OBAGI360 HydraFactor® SPF30

It’s a sad fact but not enough of us use a daily SPF over our moisturiser. If you’re serious about preventing signs of ageing, then add this final step into your morning skincare routine. In fact, it’s so important that SPF is recommended for daily use by The Skin Cancer Foundation.

Try OBAGI360 HydraFactor® SPF30. This dual action, calming moisturiser offers all-day hydration and broad-spectrum protection against UVA/UVB rays. Its clever formulation defends against future damage like fine lines and wrinkles by absorbing UV rays and releasing them from the body. Not only that, but this product also incorporates advanced Hydromanil™ technology (derived from Tara Seed). These are molecules which remain on the surface of the skin, forming a barrier and preventing moisture loss. 3D matrix molecules also work by capturing water molecules and continuously releasing nourishing compounds into the skin. Add Glycerin to this potent combination and skin feels thoroughly moisturised and looks radiant and youthful.

Apply OBAGI360 HydraFactor® SPF30 liberally in the morning, at least 15 minutes before skin is exposed to the sun. Reapply every 2 hours whilst in the sun. Commit to moisturising and protecting skin from premature ageing and even worse, skin cancer with this must-have 2 in 1 moisturiser and sunscreen.

2022 Skincare Trends: Dermatologist Predictions

With the start of a new year, we start to evaluate our previous year and set up resolutions for the year to come. New Year resolutions can be great, however, it can be hard to stick to them. Your resolution might be to up your skincare game. Do you pay enough attention to your skin’s health and do you actively try to improve your skin? If the answer to that question is no, now is the time to start doing it. As we’re bound to our homes right now, we have more time for ourselves, and time to update our skincare routine! The team of dermatologists for Pure Obagi have predicted the skincare trends for 2022. Are you ready?

Sun protection

In the past decade or so, a lot more attention has been given to protecting your skin from the sun and preventing skin cancer in the long run. In 2022, moisturisers with SPF will be even more popular than before. It’s now becoming the standard skincare go to, rather than a special treatment of your skin. If you care about your skin, you should never leave the house without sun protection on your face. Have you not yet incorporated a moisturiser with SPF such as the OBAGI360 Hydrafactor® SPF30 into your skincare routine? This is an easy win!

Retinol

Have you heard of Retinol? Retinol is a derivative from Vitamin A and is an ingredient used in skincare products more often nowadays. Our dermatologists predict that this ingredient will increase in popularity even more in 2022. Retinol is highly effective in reducing the signs of premature ageing, including dark spots, fine lines, wrinkles, sun spots, uneven skin, large pores and skin blemishes. That’s a long list of skincare concerns that can be reduced, prevented or even solved by one ingredient: Retinol.

Buy Obagi360 Retinol® 0.5

Anti-ageing products

Speaking of reducing the signs of premature ageing, a lot more people will start using anti-ageing products in the coming year. Anti-ageing products have always been considered to be useful once you’re forty or fifty years old. However, it has been dermatologically proven that the best time to start using anti-ageing products is when you are in your twenties. When you’re at this age, your least concern is getting wrinkles or fine lines but still, this is the moment our skin starts to age. Don’t wait until it’s too late, prevention is better than a cure and anti-ageing products have a lot more impact when you’re still young. The Obagi Professional-C® Portfolio is a skincare range specially designed to reduce the early signs of ageing. With Vitamin C as its main ingredient, it effectively helps to prevent wrinkles and fine lines from appearing prematurely.

Facial roller

Maybe you’ve seen them before, maybe you haven’t. Facial rollers are extremely popular at the moment and will continue to be in 2022. A facial roller is made out of gemstones and can gently massage the skin. By gently rolling it over your face, the facial roller will stimulate blood circulation. You might wonder, how is that beneficial for your skin? Well, it helps to minimise pores, reduce dark under-eye circles and helps your skin to absorb skincare products better.

Obagi Daily Hydro-Drops™

One of Obagi’s newest and most popular products is the Obagi Daily Hydro-Drops™. This is a facial serum that can be applied to your face on a daily basis which leaves the skin feeling fresh, smooth and hydrated. The Obagi Daily Hydro-Drops™ are free for emulsifiers, only using the purest forms of Abyssinian Hybiscus Oils. As the drops are suitable for people with all skin types, including sensitive skin, this product will find its way into many skincare routines throughout 2022.

10 Reasons Why You Should Be Applying Vitamin C Serum in Winter

Many of us take Vitamin C food supplements during winter for building immunity and combatting tiredness. It’s also one of the most popular ingredients in skincare too. Colder weather, low humidity and central heating have a detrimental drying effect on our skin. It becomes stripped of moisture and the essential oils that keep it hydrated and healthy. In the worst cases of dehydration, skin can even become flaky, itchy, irritated and chapped. Vitamin C is especially beneficial for common conditions such as dull, dehydrated and rough skin, synonymous with the winter months. How can you integrate this hero ingredient into your skincare? It’s much easier than you might think. For optimal results, Vitamin C is usually delivered by a fast-absorbing serum which can be applied as part of a daily skincare routine.

Obagi Professional-C® Serum

Obagi Professional-C® Serum has been formulated with L-ascorbic Acid, Vitamin C in its most potent form. Obagi Professional-C® products are so effective because they contain this pure form of Vitamin C. Our serum comes in varying strengths, 10%, 15% and 20% to suit the specific needs of your skin. Not only that, but it’s been clinically tested with proven results. Clinical studies demonstrated that Obagi Professional-C® Serum penetrates the epidermis and dermis significantly better than most other Vitamin C serums.

Obagi Professional-C® Serum delivers real results that reflect in the improved appearance of skin. On application, it instantly calms and boosts radiance, leaving skin glowing and refreshed. With continuous use, skin becomes visibly smoother, more hydrated and skin inflammation, irregular pigmentation and signs of ageing are minimised.

Everything You Need To Know About Applying Retinol Skincare Products

Before starting to use retinol skincare products, it’s important to know what you’re actually applying to your skin. Retinol is a strong, effective skincare product that has been clinically proven to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines – making retinol an ultimate anti-ageing skincare ingredient.

First, we’re going to talk you through what retinol exactly is, what it does and everything you need to know about applying retinol skincare products.

What is retinol?

Retinol is a type of retinoid and is a derivative of Vitamin A. Vitamin A is a key nutrient in the skin cell turnover process, which makes it a very effective anti-ageing product. Besides Vitamin A, retinol products, such as the OBAGI360® Retinol 0.5, use shea butter to calm inflammation and soothe the skin. Chamomile is also added to retinol products for healing benefits, which has anti-inflammatory properties and is hypoallergenic.

What are the benefits of Retinol?

By using retinol on a regular basis, the potent ingredient will speed up the production of new skin cells by turning over drier and more pigmented superficial skin cells. Essentially, retinol helps the natural process of producing new skin cells, which makes your skin look more youthful and glowing. Retinol is the main active ingredient in OBAGI360 Retinol® 0.5, helping improve the appearance of the following skincare concerns:

Pigmentation
Fine lines
Wrinkles
Uneven skin tone
Visible pores
Texture

Among its many benefits, retinol is most known for its effectiveness in reducing wrinkles and fine lines. Obagi Retinol will help to increase the natural production of collagen in the skin, which improves the skin’s elasticity, and as a result, you will find your skin to be firmer, smoother and more youthful in its appearance. But that isn’t all, Retinol also stimulates the production of new blood vessels to produce, which improves your natural skin colour, giving you a luminous, and healthy-looking complexion.

Is OBAGI360® Retinol 0.5 suitable for someone who is new to using retinol?

Yes! OBAGI360® Retinol 0.5 has a low concentration and is gentle, making it the perfect product to start your retinol journey with. Generally speaking, you would want to start off with the lowest concentration and build it up, to avoid any irritation of the skin. It’s best to apply the product lightly, and start off by using it once a week, then step it up to every other night, then nightly once your skin has built up tolerance – this is a great way to experience the benefits of retinol without the irritation.

BUY OBAGI360® RETINOL 0.5

How to apply retinol skincare products

If this is your first time using retinol skincare products, it’s important to slowly build up your usage. We understand that it’s tempting to start using Obagi Retinol every day, but it’s better to start off by using it one night a week. Give your skin some time to get used to the new product, before slowly building up the frequency. If your skin is comfortable with the product, you can start using it more often.

Apply one pump of the product on your entire face and gently massage it into your skin until the product is completely absorbed. If you’re using Obagi Retinol in the morning, don’t forget to apply a moisturiser with SPF afterward. As retinol reveals newer skin cells, your skin will be more sensitive to sunlight. For this reason, it is more preferable to use Obagi Retinol during your evening skincare routine, with the added benefit that the Vitamin A and E in the product will help to neutralise free radicals during your sleep. You will wake up feeling refreshed and with smooth skin!

Obagi Hydration Collection

We could all do with a much-needed extra boost of hydration right now. For soft, smooth, radiant skin this Valentine’s Day, opt for our best-seller Obagi Hydrate®. This popular daily moisturiser provides instant all-day hydration. The key to its long-lasting hydration is Hydromanil™ technology, an advanced ingredient derived from the Tara Seed known for retaining water. Hydromanil™ molecules form a matrix on the skin’s surface and can remain on the cells for longer. Dehydrated skin is immediately nourished, and further water loss is also prevented. Not just that, but this matrix holds water in the layers of the skin, gradually delivering nourishment from active compounds over time.

Obagi Hydrate® also contains other enriching natural ingredients including Shea Butter, Mango Butter and Avocado Oil. It’s a gentle formulation that doesn’t clog pores and moisturises skin without leaving any greasy residue. This is the moisturiser to fight skin dryness. It also protects skin from environmental stressors that lead to fine lines, wrinkles and dark spots. Science backs up the claims too. Obagi Hydrate® has been clinically proven to improve moisture content and has been shown to provide moisturisation for up to 8 hours.

Clinical tests showed a 92% improvement in moisture content of the skin within 2 hours of using Obagi Hydrate Luxe®. For Valentine gifts that make a real difference, add these clinically proven, transformative hydrators to your skincare routine now.
