Beat your winter beauty woes with these products

Although we’re quite fond of snuggling up on the couch and cosying up with a cup of tea, winter has its downfalls, particularly its ill effects on our face and body. Luckily, whatever your winter beauty concern, we’ve got just the cure. 

For your dry face

Constantly exposed to the elements, the most common place your skin can suffer is also the most noticeable to you and everyone else. Our top skin care tip for your face: Don’t skimp on the hydration! 

Aesop Immediate Moisture Facial Hydrosol: This rose petal infused hydration mist is perfect for refreshing and reviving your dry skin. Apply after cleansing and throughout the day for an extra dose of hydration.

Pevonia Botanica Dry Skin Cleanser: The light, creamy cleanser contains essential oils to remove skin impurities while deep cleansing the epidermal surface.

For your dry body

Covered by your woolly layers, it’s easy to forget about the rest of your body when it comes to moisturising. To avoid cracked, reptilian-like skin, always apply a layer of body moisturiser as soon as you jump out of the shower.

Sometimes even the best makeup can’t cover up redness, and you need to go to proper skin care for the cure.
