2. What are your winter wellness tips?

We must change up our selfcare and wellness routines according to the season. Winter is restful, it’s the perfect time to hone consistent sleep patterns. Ensure eight hours of sleep, keep your room cooler than the rest of the house and enjoy the hibernation season. Try to walk more and drive less, and embrace nourishing your body with healthy soups with root veggies and of course care for your skin and protect against dryness.

I couldn’t choose one but while traveling  I always carry a set of REN minis. All my favourites in smaller formats for lighter travel and airport use. I start with The Perfect Canvas Jelly Oil Cleanser. Its transformative formula effortlessly dissolves makeup, SPF, and pollution while restoring my skin . Following with the soothing embrace of Evercalm™ Cleansing Gel. Its cooling effect calms sensitivity while gently removing impurities. For a radiant glow, I rely on The Radiance Daily AHA Tonic. This powerhouse toner hydrates, brightens, and evens my complexion in a single step, without any irritation. Finally, I use Everhydrate Marine Moisture Restore Serum. Its algae-activated complex works wonders, ensuring my skin stays hydrated for an impressive 72 hours, combating dehydration at its core.
