Wipe Away Stress “Plumped up, relaxed features are the holy grail for a year-round fresh-faced look, but the elements work against you in winter,” says facialist Emma Hardie. “Dehydration and stress tauten your facial tissues and block the nutrients to your skin.” To reverse this stranglehold on your cells, you need touch – and movement. “You automatically stretch your body to relieve tension, so do the same for your face, simply by moving your face muscles around in all directions,” says Emma. Another instant trick she suggests to get an energised glow is to, “Pinch and hold for a second the soft tissue on your face, starting at the centre and moving to the sides.” Twice a day as you cleanse and moisturise, massage your face with small circular movements. “It’s essential for preventing washed-out winter skin,” says Emma, who recommends using a nourishing balm like her own Amazing Face Natural Lift And Sculpt Moringa Cleansing Balm, £30, to turn the process into a bit of a treat.
