Roar’s guide to winter skin care

“I have really dry skin but usually hate the feeling of any thick cream on my face. This has a light and thin texture that I really like!” – Katie, third-year student

Suffering from dry, dull winter skin? Have no fear. Roar has asked five KCL girls which products they use to make sure their skin is #flawless at all times. So, read on to get a list of five recommended, tried, and tested products that will treat your skin to some all-important pampering.

Dermalogica’s ‘Foaming Wash’ from their Clear Start range

Dermalogica’s cleanser is perfect for all seasons, particularly the winter. It is non-abrasive and also contains salicylic acid to control unwanted blemishes –perfection in a bottle!

“The foaming wash is a gentle foam which washes away makeup and cleanses the face, leaving your skin feeling soft and hydrated. It is also easy to use morning and night, love it!” – Hollie, third-year student
