20th November 2023 | By Tamara Corin
Winter’s arrived folks, it’s time to make some sensible swaps to your skincare. It’s only a matter of time until your skin is feeling tight and depleted and crying out for extra hydration. Here, we’ve highlighted the winter skin saviours that will replenish lost moisture and restore your complexion during the colder months.
The Comforting Cleansers
1.
A brilliant budget super hydrator that in the past twelve months alone, have sold enough of these cleansers to reach the top of the Eiffel Tower. Now, there’s a fun fact!rnrn
2.
Don’t be put off by the name. This gentle, creamy formula is enriched with goat milk proteins (minus the smell!) which help soothe dry and sensitive skin, while vitamin rich Manuka honey intensely nourishes without causing further dryness that cleansers often leave in their path.rnrn
3.
Cleansers can often strip moisture from the skin, which is everything you don’t want for a dry skin type. This light, creamy cleanser removes the day’s grime while actively nourishing dry, depleted skin, leaving it feeling clean and fresh minus any tautness.rnrnrn
4.
A brilliant way to simultaneously hydrate and remove all the days impurities from your skin is with a cleansing balm. Deeply nourishing, hardworking and luxe to use. This 100% natural balm is packed with moisturising shea butter and jojoba plus essential oils of lemon, palmarosa and rosemary that makes your face smell like a spa.
The Tackling Toners
5.
Fastest way to add hydration to dry skin is with a quick and generous spritz of a hydrating toner that instantly adds moisture. Top tip: Make sure your skin is a little damp when layering on your next step, presumably a serum, as damp skin will make the products that follow work deeper into your dermis.rnrn
6.
Referred to as “liquid gold” for your skin, this skin tonic is formulated with Kombucha – fermented black tea. Naturally rich in natural acids and vitamins, that has existed since ancient times. Historically known as an “immortal elixir” beverage for its energizing and detoxifying properties and its power to deeply hydrate skin, which explains the hefty price tag.rnrn
7.
Replenish and restore dry and dehydrated skin with this specially grown Jurlique Rose extract and hyaluronic acid infused facial mist. Simply spritz on throughout the day to continuously help refresh and hydrate skin. Great under or over makeup.rnrn
The Super Serums
8.
The original serum is iconic and a multi-tasker for dullness, dehydration, skin tone and everything in between. This new addition is particularly great for dry skin that tends to suffer from redness or sensitivity. An instant soother and brilliant hydrator.rnrn
9.
Kinda of serum, kinda of a toner. This milky formula amps up hydration levels in no-time. Layer beneath your usual serum to lock in moisture. A pretty impressive product from Mrs. Bieber.rnrn
10.
Pump skin with this supercharged water-gel hydrator that instantly quenches dehydrated skin with a moisture boost. Proven to keeps skin hydrated for a whopping 72 hours! We’ll take that!rnrn
11.
Not just one of the best anti-ageing serums on the market, but a superb choice to treat and transform dry, dull, dehydrated skin. The thick yet dewy texture sinks into skin leaving an invisible veil and a comforting floral fragrance in its path. Iconic for good reason.
The Must-Try Moisturisers
12.
You might think of face oils as a winter skincare product, but we’re big advocates of using them all year round. The trick is to find a lightweight non-greasy oil, which is exactly what this is. This nourishing formula is packed with skin comforters including oats to help restore moisture levels and soothe irritated skin.rnrn
13.
This gender-neutral Swedish range has only two products to its name, however, one of which is the world’s first hydrolytic moisturiser. Which to you and me means it provides long-lasting hydration and microbiome rebalancing so your skin will feel phenomenally hydrated even in the morning from application the night before. Consider this your 8 glasses a day but for your skin.rnrn
14.
This fuss-free no-frills moisturiser works wonders on thirsty skin without leaving a greasy finish. A brilliant texture for applying makeup on top without any drying time needed – and at a great price too.rnrn
15.
The key to hydrated skin is having a healthy skin barrier. This moisturiser is packed with pure hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and squalene, to lock in hydration by fortifying, and repairing the skin barrier. It comes in three different formulations too—Hero, Rich and Fragrance-Free.rnrn
16.
Give thirsty skin a massive dose of hydration with this overnight gel-cream moisturiser that is intensely nourishing and a brilliant weekly treat for dry, dull, winter skin. Packed with prebiotics to ensure you wake up with the dreamiest and healthiest complexion.rnrn
