Winter skincare: How to get great skin through the colder months
Let's face it, the last thing you need this winter is dry and cracked skin.
Winter skin needs a lot of looking after. Extra hydration on your face, body, hands and lips is a must to prevent dull, dry skin that's lost its glow.
That said, here's what to include in your skincare routine this winter:
Trinny London Be Your Best Enzyme Balm Cleanser, $60
During the cooler months you need to nourish your skin as much as possible - and this cleanser is the perfect way of kicking off your winter skincare routine. It's a luxurious, oil-based transforming balm that's designed to boost radiance and nourish skin, without leaving it dry. It takes off everything from makeup to SPF in a gentle but effective way.
Summer Fridays Dream Oasis Deep Hydration Serum, $44
Use this lovely serum to seal in moisture for all-day hydration, either as a solo moisturiser, or as a primer for drier skin. As well as hydrating squalene, glycerine, and hyaluronic acid, it also contains skin soothing colloidal oatmeal, aloe, and tiger grass.
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, $31
If you want soft lips even when it's cold and windy, this is the only lip product you need. Pop it on before bed and it will reduce flakiness and dryness overnight, leaving you with soft, supple lips.
DU'IT Tough Hands Intensive Hand Cream for Dry Hands, $10.99
This dry skin saviour should be on your bedside table. The packaging says 'blokey' but it's one of the most effective hand creams on the market. Non-greasy, it replaces lost oils, conditions the skin and forms a protective barrier to keep hands soft and without cracks.
Trinny London Plump Up Peptide+ HA Serum, $122
Seriously boost hydration with this gorgeous lightweight serum. It's packed with hyaluronic acid and peptides that help your skin make collagen - which results in a fresh, bouncy complexion. It plumps skin, reduces the appearance of fine lines, and generally makes your skin look fabulous - even when you've been sitting by a heater all day.
Tanologist Face & Body Drops, $22.99
If you can't get a real summer glow, then fake it. Add a few drops of these self tan drops to your moisturiser to brighten, soften and hydrate skin. Formulated with pink grapefruit, goji berry and juniper, choose the level of glow you want. Made with a low pH it reduces the traditional smell of 'tan' and instead has a fresh eucalyptus fragrance.
MCoBeauty Exfoliating Glove Body Glow, $14
Take this in the shower and come out with smoother looking skin all over. Made with a unique double sided fabric texture, the pink side is for regular removal of surface build-up, while the black side gives a deeper exfoliation. Perfect for exfoliating before fake tanning or just getting rid of dead dry skin.
The Body Shop Shea Body Butter, $32
This multi-tasking moisturiser will quickly get rid of scaly legs and tight skin on your body, but can also be used on lips, hands and even on the tips of your hair to bring it back to life.
