National training manager for Ella Baché, Amber Scott, talks winter skin.

What are the most common winter skin problems?
Dryness, dehydration and flakiness are the main offenders during the cooler season. It’s a good idea to have a skin diagnosis (this can be done at any Ella Baché salon or David Jones counter for free) as winter approaches to make sure the products you’ve been using over summer are still working for your skin in winter.
How does the skin diagnosis work?
The beauty therapist works with a skin scanner that allows them to see below the surface of the skin via deep violet light. In as little as 60 seconds the light can reveal any potential problem areas. This allows you to treat the problem before it surfaces and becomes apparent to the naked eye. The skin scanner can also be used to detect your exact skin condition.
How often should we have it done?
A general rule for skincare is to have your skin diagnosed when your cleanser or moisturiser runs out – which should be every three to four months. This way, you’ll ensure you’re always using the correct products for your skin at that time.
Should our beauty regimes change in winter?
Definitely. Your skincare routine should change to address the concerns brought about by the change in weather. In winter you need to hydrate and protect your skin more. Dehydration is the main cause of many of the skin problems we experience during winter. The key focus should be to intensively hydrate the skin and provide it with a protective barrier to defend from environmental elements such as dry, cold winds and internal heating.
What are the must-have products?
A hydrating booster or serum and a healing moisturiser that includes ingredients such as lanolin or shea butter. The Ella Baché Hydra Booster is an intense re-hydrating lotion perfect for all skin types.
It’s a common belief that skin dries up in winter, but is this still the case if you have oily skin?
If your skin is naturally oily, oil will always be present and naturally dry skin will always have minimal oil flow. But all skin types can be dehydrated. Dehydration relates to the moisture content of the skin, but is commonly confused with dryness. This is why most people feel as though their skin becomes dry in winter when it’s actually dehydrated.
