“This super moisturiser was recommended to me by Alessandra Steinherr and is an absolute game-changer. I recently went skiing and my entire family used this to keep our skin hydrated and chap-free, even at freezing high altitudes. Although it’s super-thick on application, it actually sinks in very quickly, and within minutes of using it, you can apply make-up on top. If there’s one beauty item I would recommend for winter, it is one-hundred-percent this.”

“My skin always feels incredibly dull at this time of year, so anything with exfoliating properties goes to the front of my weekly regime. Fresh has just launched this lovely toner, which contains rainbow algae extract (a sought-after skincare ingredient) to help boost radiance by lifting away dead skin cells. An effective treatment that’s quicker than a mask is a winner in my book.”
Laura | Co-Founder & CCO
“I’ve been looking for a gentle cleanser that doesn’t strip my skin, as it always feels a little on the dehydrated side at this time of year. I’m also a big believer in making my beauty routine a relaxing ritual, and I love that this product incorporates essential oils in its formula. The cleanser contains hemp seed and buckthorn oils, while safflower oil and oat are rich in ceramides, leaving the skin soft, soothed and comfortable. Lastly, the extract of basil and lemongrass adds a calming and refreshing touch.”
Emma | Director Of Partnerships
“I’ve been visiting Nadia at The Taktouk Clinic for a series of Hydrafacials and have been thrilled with the results. Alongside the treatments, Nadia suggested some key adjustments to my skincare routine that have made a noticeable difference. My skin was extremely dehydrated, so she recommended an advanced serum with a potent 1.3% concentration of pure hyaluronic acid. It’s transformed my skin, leaving it visibly plumper, smoother and more contoured.”

“I was lucky enough to get this in our team advent calendar and have really enjoyed mixing it into my evening routine – it’s hydrating and calming, which is what we all need at this time of year.”
Fenella | Acting Fashion Director
“This overnight facial has been my go-to during the winter months for years. It leaves my skin feeling hydrated and nourished in the morning, and is full of essential oils, so smells amazing!”
Claudia | E-Commerce SEO Executive
“Winter always leaves my skin feeling dry and dull, but my vitamin C serum has been a total game-changer. I use it every morning and night because it brightens my complexion, keeps my skin smooth and protects it from the cold winds and indoor heating. It evens out my tone, gives me back the glow I lose at this time of year and makes my skin feel so much healthier and more vibrant.”
Grace | Social Media Assistant
“I adore this overnight recovery balm from Ren. It keeps my skin feeling hydrated and nourished, while protecting my skin barrier from the challenging weather.”
Phoebe | Social Media Lead
“I was introduced to Advanced Nutrition last year, and I’m so impressed with the impact it’s already had on my skin. I was really excited when they launched this new 10 day skin-gut reset kit that supports skin from the inside out. And for only £20, it’s the new-year winter complexion overhaul I need."
Elizabeth | Editorial Assistant
“In the winter, my skin can get dry to the point of peeling. I recently picked up this exfoliator on a whim and have been really pleased with the results. I use it twice a week after cleansing, and it gently exfoliates away dead skin cells. My face feels so smooth and refreshed afterwards, I’m confident this will be a repeat buy in my beauty cupboard.”
