Fake tan, foundation and all the other lotions and potions we use everyday, coupled with the cold weather, can have a very drying effect on our skin. Some products are designed to target specific areas of the body while there are other products that work as great all-rounders.
SkinCeuticals AOX Lip Complex (€50) is a really intensive concentrate for dry damaged lips. This product is packed with vitamin E and also acts as a great anti-aging product targeting the lines and wrinkles that are commonly found around the mouth.
Dr. PawPaw (€8.95) is a multipurpose soothing balm that has near cult status in Australia and has reached these shores last year. This product combines Aloe to sooth, Olive to moisturise and fermented Paw Paw to create a soothing balm that can be used anywhere and on anyone. Their tinted balms in peach and red add a moisturising pop of colour to lips and cheeks.
An intensive moisturising cream is the last in your arsenal of beauty products to keep dryness at bay this winter. First Aid Beauty's Ultra Repair Cream (€11.95) is a rich moisturiser that provides intense hydration for dry skin but won't look greasy under makeup. It can work on a variety of sensitive skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis because, like all their products, it is free from parabens and harsh chemicals and colourants.
And make sure to drink lots of water, it’s important to keep the body hydrated from the inside as well as on the outside.
