Winter is the time of year when the beauty corner in my bathroom gets a shake up.
The harsh cold air, warm heating and then air con kill my skin in winter. Every year it's the same: i spend loads of money on assorted beauty products to try and keep my skin hydrated whilst still trying to push back time and make use of the anti ageing technology out there.
The beauty industry spends millions advertising and promoting their products, promising eternal youth and transformed skin in women's magazines. How many of us have bought something on the basis of an advert or a celebrity endorsement? I certainly have!
But... along with my clothing embargo, I've recently reined in the beauty purchasing! Ok, when I get a bit fed up I am easily seduced by luxury packaging and buy 2 products get this bag of stuff you will never ever use again free!
I am a product whore. There is no other word to describe my addiction to finding the ultimate beauty routine. We're not talking about make up here -just the foundations before the make up is even applied. There is nothing worse than having washed your face and afterwards it feels as tight as....
I've spent the last couple of months chopping and changing my products and have come back to some old favourites and a couple of newbies, that I will be sticking with until the weather eases off and my face isn't as dry and flaky!
So here are some of my winter skincare essentials!
Decleor Hydra Floral moisturiser - seriously THE best hydrating moisturiser - it really works!
Jo Malone Body Creme in Pomegranate Noir - a bit of a luxe body moisturiser - instantly cheers me up
Palmers Cocoa butter with shea butter - extra nourishing for dry winter skin - sinks in with no stickiness and is cheap as chips!
Off to moisturise...
