Edit Introduce Vitamin A, but be mindful of other actives

<p><em><strong>2. Introduce Vitamin A, but be mindful of other actives. </strong></em></p> <p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Winter is a good time of year to incorporate vitamin A containing products into your <a href="/treatment/tretinoin-hydroquinone/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">skincare</a> routine or consider a course of <a href="/treatment/chemical-peels/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">chemical peels</a> for the skin. There is little ultraviolet radiation around in northern Europe during this time so the risk of burning or <a href="/conditions/pigmentation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pigmentation</a> is low.</span></p> <p><strong><span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">As skin tends to be drier in the winter months for many people, reducing the strength of some active agents could be of benefit. For example, switching from a glycolic acid toner to a poly-hydroxy acid toner may be kinder to the skin leading to less irritation in those vulnerable.</span></strong></p> <p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Adding in hyaluronic acid serums underneath regular moisturisers is also a handy trick in layering skincare to improve hydration levels and skin barrier quality.</span></p>
