We never did get that last hit of summer, did we" I was waiting and waiting, but those summer dresses remained tucked away and my toes firmly covered in something altogether more cosy. As the nights are drawing in and the days are getting chillier, it's the time of year when we need to start transitioning our skincare regime from one season to the next. It may sound a little over zealous and unnecessary, but our skin is a rather temperamental organ that responds to temperature and climate change; if you don't look after it you could find it looking dry, dull and lacklustre - and your makeup not sitting as well as you'd like. If you make a few small changes though, the results could make a real difference; here are four ways to change up your regime for the better that don't even require much effort!
