In this special bonus Ask An Expert episode, host Gemma Watts is joined by specialist dermatologist Dr Ryan De Cruz who is here to answer the questions YOU submitted on winter skincare, specifically for the body. We’re covering why it is that our skin sensitivities are heightened with a cold snap, why your body wash is just as important as your moisturiser, how to combat persistent, stubborn patches of dry skin, and exactly which ingredients are winter skin non-negotiables (and which ingredients you can go without).

I’m so often asked really specific questions about the skin and, given that I’m an educated consumer and by no means an expert, I insist on taking those questions to a legitimate expert- someone truly qualified to answer your questions. In the name of transparency this episode is sponsored by CeraVe, however as per all of my expert interviews, the doctor is NOT here to sell you anything and must remain completely objective when answering your questions. For this reason, you’ll hear Dr De Cruz recommend specific ingredients (rather than products) and offer more general advice, giving you the tools you need to make your own, educated purchasing decisions. 

In this episode, Dr De Cruz answers your questions on winter skincare for the body- from why dry skin, irritations and conditions like dermatitis and psoriasis tend to flare up in the winter and how to keep your skin protected from both cold air and dry indoor heating, through to the impact your winter shower habits are having on your skin and whether or not you really need to moisturise your body every single day.
