It’s fair to say that after a surprisingly mild Christmas, the sudden shift to a much colder and more winter climate has ruined the skin and lips of many people.
Due to cold weather, strong winds and increased use of central heating, our skin can appear much less radiant and dewy during the winter months and quickly become dry, sullen and much more prone to hyperpigmentation and blemishes. Therefore, it is very important to add nourishing and moisturizing products that will protect the skin’s natural barrier.
From facial cleansers and moisturizers to soothe any inflammation, to nourishing hand creams and lip balms to deal with flaking and dryness, this selection of products for the face, lips and body will help you get through the winter months.
