The Winter Edit: 7 essentials you will 100% love!
Weleda Skin Food is world renown to be one of the most reliable moisturisers out there to relieve dryness and irritation. The cult moisturiser helps you create a protective barrier so that your skin to defend against pollution and harsh weather conditions. Thick and creamy, it is wonderful if you want to sort out any sort of dryness and doubles up as a wonderful primer under make-up. Did I mention you can use it lip balm or overnight face mask? One of the top picks if you want glowy, hydrated and happy skin.
2. CeraVe Moisturising Cream
This rich and nurturing moisturiser soothes dry to very dry skin like a pro - and no wonder since it has been developed by dermatologists. Also suitable for sensitive skin, CeraVe delivers a surge of much-needed hydration to dry, very dry and sensitive skin.
The texture is non-greasy and the star ingredients are three essential Ceramides and Hyaluronic Acid that join forces to save your skin's natural barrier. Locking in moisture for all-day hydration, it utilises MVE® Delivery Technology, which ensures controlled release of ingredients for 24 hour hydration. Gentle on skin, it leaves itchy, uncomfortable patches feeling soft and replenished.
3. Eve Lom Cleanser
Love this cleanser for a pampering night time cleanse. It comes with 2 muslin cloths and the info sheet has instructions for a DIY facial massage.
It is very effective at removing make up and it also exfoliates. If you follow the instructions for using the muslin cloths soaked in warm water at first finishing with cold water, you shouldn’t need a toner. You can rinse it off with water but using a cloth is easier and probably more effective.
It has a light eucalyptus fragrance and it will last for ages. One of my all time favourite staples ever as it has saved my skin countless times and I use it on my clients who are always quick to buy it shortly after seeing its benefits.
4. Eucerin Aquaphor Soothing Skin Balm
A family favourite! This is the ultimate multi-purpose cream, catering to every skin issues from eczema to grazes, irritations and cracked skin. It is wonderfully hydrating and feels like an extra layer of protection for your skin. I use it as a highlighter on my cheekbones and as a matte lip balm. Also great for cuticles. Now that I think about it, it might just be my desert island product! Soothing, nourishing and guaranteed to work.
5. Bioderma Atoderm Shower Oil
Catering for babies, children and adults alike this amazing shower oil is a lightweight, ultra-gentle formula that works to soften and smoothen your skin for that extra bit of smoothness.
A skin saviour especially during the windy and cold weather and created to restore long-lasting comfort.
Hypoallergenic. Non-comedogenic.
6. By Terry Baume De Rose Lip Balm
Probably the best lip balm you will ever try. I struggle to find other words when the only word that comes in mind is PERFECTION.
Superstar ingredients like hyaluronic acid, rose extracts, rose blossom essential wax and antioxidant vitamin E save you from having dry and chapped lips.
All this + shea butter and fortifying ceramides help seal in all the moisture. Buy it, thank me later.
