This time of year the extremes of plummeting temps outside and cranked central heating inside definitely take a toll on our skin. Noticing that our usual skincare regime just isn’t cutting it and with our skin crying out for hydration, we’re forced to call in the ‘A’ team, the big guns to help keep the dryness at bay. You may find that it’s the lips that bear the brunt of winter’s havoc, leaving you with parched, chapped, cracked and downright painful lips. We want to help you avoid that by arming you with an arsenal of balms, creams and masques to help you protect your pout through winter.
