As temperatures outside plummet and our central heating goes into overdrive, this time of year can feel as though there’s no end in sight. When it comes to our beauty routines too, it seems that winter can demand a lot more from the products we’re putting on our skin. Cold air, indoor heat and a lack of sunshine can put the strain right where we can see it - on our face.
We've rounded up our top hydrating and nourishing products to help combat the effects of the weather and keep your skin looking radiant.
Gentle and moisturising, hyaluronic acid natural acid can be used in high doses and won’t irritate sensitive skin - making it a universal all-rounder. This product is an excellent winter staple. Don’t be fooled by its lightweight formula, the serum packs a hydration punch.
