The recent drop in temperature is sure to have had an effect on our skin, not to mention the possible Christmas glass of bubbles or hot port. Who better to give advice abut skincare than a doctor?
Introducing Ultra gentle hydration that works in harmony with your skin’s microbiome plus Dr Doireann O’Leary’s top tips for minding winter skin!
Your skin’s microbiome is affected by everything from skincare, age and lifestyle to the environment. Winter presents an extra challenge – skin faces extra increased external aggressors, making it weaker, more sensitive, and more prone to breakouts.
Avène Tolerance Hydra-10 is made from a unique biomimetic formulation which replicates the skin – combining natural ingredients found in skin with a simulation of its protective structure. Skin is hydrated WITHOUT disrupting the microbiome – keeping it protected, calm and perfectly balanced.
Tolerance Hydra-10 Fluid €24.00 – Suitable for normal to combination skin
Tolerance Hydra-10 Cream €24.00 – Suitable for dry/ very dry skin


Dr Doireann O’Leary’s top winter skin tips;
- Consistency is key and practice makes perfect! Get into a routine of moisturising morning and evening to get best results from your moisturiser
- Choose a moisturising cleanser like Avène’s Extremely Gentle Cleanser for your morning and evening cleanse
- Moisturising damp skin can help to lock in moisture. I moisturise straight after my evening shower to give skin for an extra boost.
- Be sure to moisturise an hour or two before bed. You don’t want your moisturiser to end up on your pillow!
- Don’t forget your hands and neck too!
