Fix your transeasonal skin issues with Katharine Mackenzie Paterson’s at-home facial

The most common concerns my clients report at this time of year are related to dry and irritated skin caused by skin-barrier disruption. The key to solving these woes is to keep complexions calm and robust by focusing on barrier-building and repairing skincare ingredients. Peptides, for example, promote collagen and elastin production, while also soothing conditions such as eczema and dermatitis. Ceramides and fatty acids meanwhile, will help to prevent transepidermal water loss, keeping our faces soft and supple.

I love using my hands for massage and use a beautiful oil like SALI HUGES Revolution Face Oil, £15. For an extra special treat CHANEL Huile De Jasmin, £104 feels truly decadent and spa-like. Start at the centre of your face, working outwards towards the ears, then down the neck – this will help to move lymph in your face and can be beneficial for people who experience puffiness and dullness. Massage also stimulates the blood flow in your skin, waking up your cellular functions.
