Winter face

REPAIR AND REVIVE

Itchy, scaly skin? Calm it in a flash with the amazingly nourishing powers of Bioderma Atoderm Creme, lookfantastic.com.

HYDRATION HIT

Our complexions face a lot during winter, when we’re blasted by cold winds then sapped dry by central heating. Choose a day cream that helps keep hydration levels steady. The light, refreshing Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream, Boots, contains hyaluronic acid, plus the clever ‘continuous release system’ means that moisture is released throughout the day.

GENTLE CLEANSING

For flaky and inflamed skin, the easiest change to make to your regime is to switch your cleanser to something gentle. Avoid foaming formulas that can strip oils from the top layers of skin. Try Caudalie Vinoclean Micellar Cleansing Water, caudalie.com, which has been specially developed to soothe sensitive skin and gently removes make-up and dirt without leaving you feeling tight and dry.

BRIGHTEN UP

Dry, parched skin will benefit from exfoliating. But instead of a scratchy, grainy scrub, use a liquid formulation. Nip+Fab Glycolic Fix Liquid Glow, lookfantastic.com, is a bit like a toner that you apply twice a day after cleansing. It helps sweep away dead skin cells, increases hydration levels and unclogs pores. Your skin will look visibly fresher and more radiant, even after one use.

SLEEPING BEAUTY

Restore moisture levels while you sleep with Elemis Peptide4 Night Recovery Cream-Oil, elemis.com. Combining the hydration of a cream with the protection of an oil, this will help your skin repair and renew itself overnight so you’ll wake looking visibly rejuvenated, ready to face another winter’s day!

LOVELY LIPS

Lips are always the first to suffer when the weather turns frosty. Beat those flakes with Barry M Lip Scrub in Peppermint, barrym.com. Just massage over your lips in a circular motion to gently exfoliate any dry areas of skin before rinsing off. The combination of avocado and jojoba oil will keep them hydrated, too.
