It’s coming to that time of year where cold winds cause dry skin, and it’s easy to feel unattractive and frumpy wrapped head-to-toe in comfy knits, instead of the showy summer wardrobe we’ve been enjoying in previous months.
Winter can be a hard season to get through; physically and emotionally. So, in preparation for dull days and long nights, why not get planning the ideal winter makeover for your body, mind, and soul? Just because these months can bring freezing temperatures and bitter winds, doesn’t mean the season has to get you down!
Embrace autumnal colors
Yes, a summer wardrobe is alive with florals, bright hues, and elaborate patterns but that doesn’t mean your winter wardrobe has to pale in comparison.
Autumnal colors can be absolutely striking when worn right, and there are plenty of patterns which truly come into their own when worn in purples, maroons, and mustards. Of course, if you know that your skin tone and hair color better suit spring and summer tones, you may think autumn and winter are your enemies, but do not fear! You can mix and match the seasonal shades across an outfit and still look radiant! What’s more, chunky knits in summer colors are a great way to liven up your winter wardrobe.
A fresh new you
There’s no better time than the changing of the seasons to give yourself a dramatic new look.
Have you been toying with the idea of a drastic haircut or color? Why put it off any longer? The best bit about changing your hair during the winter months is that if you really despise the result, you can accessorize with cute hats (berets, beanies, trilbies, the list is endless!) to distract from what you’re trying to hide.
Winter is also an excellent time to invest in better quality skincare products. After all, the winter winds can cause havoc to your skin, and paired with fierce in-door heating; it’s a recipe for disaster. Take a trip to your local department store and ask for skin diagnosis to tell whether you’re more prone to dry, oily, or combination skin. Let’s welcome back spring with silky smooth skin at the ready!
If you’re looking to shed a layer of dead skin, there are lots of affordable treatments now available, such as microdermabrasion and skin tightening, which will leave your skin feeling more supple and younger. Your Laser Skin Care has a wide range of services on offer, to keep you feeling rejuvenated throughout the colder months.
Get a spring in your step, even in Winter
Seasonal Affective Disorder can affect anyone, and it’s easy to feel frustrated, low in mood and spirit, and unmotivated when the days grow increasingly colder and darker.
As such, during winter, you should spend energy trying to keep your outlook rosy and positive. Every bookstore now has a thriving self-development section, with many titles for you to pursue. For a fun and uplifting activity, write down three things you’re thankful for at the end of each day. Before you know it, you’ll be bursting with gratitude, which you will carry with you all the way through to next summer!
