COLD WIND, HARSH TEMPERATURES AND DRYING CENTRAL HEATING CAN BE A RECIPE FOR BAD SKIN – BUT THESE HERO PRODUCTS ARE HERE TO HELP WINTER SKIN SAVIOURS

1 ECOOKING LIP BALM ROSE, £12 Prone to chapped lips? You’ll know that winter is no friend to our pouts, so it’s even more important to keep them nourished at this time of year. This rose-infused lip balm from Danish brand Ecooking is ideal, moisturising and protecting with vitamin E, almond and argan oil. It’s got a nice pomegranate scent and pinky tint, too, plus it uses Hilurlip – a natural plumping agent containing hyaluronic acid.

ESSENTIALS For face and lip care, Ecooking and Odile Lecoin have a selection of products

2 TRANSFORMULAS MARINE MIRACLE CRÈME, £69 If your skin is feeling dry, flaky and a bit sad, help is at hand in the form of Transformulas’ Marine Miracle Crème. With a luxuriously rich texture, it absorbs easily and has a lovely cushioning effect to smooth over fine lines, acting as a perfect base for foundation. As well as vitamins C and E, the formula harnesses marine ingredients such as sea algae and sea salt extracts to nourish, soften and firm skin, while also working to hydrate and boost collagen production. The result is like a breath of fresh sea air for your face, leaving it revitalised and invigorated.

Smile and pout with confidence

3 OR, JE VIS, THE ULTIMATE CARE GEL CREAM, £125

Seeking the ultimate hydrating face cream? Look no further. Made by luxury French skincare brand Odile Lecoin, this gossamer-light gel melts into skin to instantly lock in moisture, leaving a velvety feel. The formula includes Abyssine 657, a patented molecule that boosts the skin’s natural defences, strengthening its ability to withstand environmental stresses such as wind. As such, it’s perfect for this time of year, when our skin gets a battering from the elements. It’s not cheap, but the best things seldom are – especially not a face cream that’s like enveloping your skin in the finest silk known to humanity.
