It’s time to layer not only your clothes but also your skincare. What you’ll need: thick, moisturising formulas such as body creams and lip oils. And don’t forget the masks – include one for the plane ride for perfectly conditioned skin when you touch down.
This multi-purpose dry oil for face, body and hair, contains moroccan argan oil, sesame seed oil and apricot kernel oil to leave skin and hair soft and supple. A blend of antioxidant-rich green seaweed extract and blue sea lavender also nourishes and conditions skin.
This gently buffs your lips to leave them soft and smooth. (Read about more intensive lip treatments here.)
A lightweight sunscreen that contains anti-pollution ingredients to stave off signs of ageing like dry, dull skin and fine lines. Also contains hyaluronic acid to keep your skin moisturised.
Gentle enough for use on the face, body, including eyelid and lips, this balm helps moisturise, calm and soothe skin. You can even use it on minor burns, scalds and cuts, to relieve irritation from insect bites, sores and bruises!
A “sleeping mask” for your hands, this hand cream contains antioxidants, a vitamin C and E complex, amino acids and phospholipids to help strengthen skin’s moisture barrier, promote skin repair, and soften and nourish skin while you get your Zs.
Give your skin a much-needed boost of moisture with this mask. The bio-cellulose material of the mask makes sure it adheres to your skin for maximum absorption of the active ingredients. Natural enzymes also clarify skin while helping to prevent premature ageing. Use it after exfoliation so you reap the benefits. Bonus: It also doubles as an eye mask to reduce the appearance of puffy eyes and the fine lines around the eyes.
This serum is formulated with the brand’s signature Ceramide Technology to help strengthen skin’s moisture barrier, soften and smooth skin, impart radiance, reduce the look of fine lines and firm up skin for more youthful-looking skin.
Contains Red Pine extract, a key ingredient in the Sulwhasoo Timetreasure line, and Radiance Pearl Powder Complex developed by the brand, to help impart a youthful glow (click here for foundations that make you look more radiant) and firmer-looking skin. Available in 7 shades.
Use this toner to eliminate cleanser residue, dead skin cells, and tap water impurities – causes of premature skin ageing – from your skin to prep it to better absorb the skincare that follow. Contains organic olive leaf and green tea extract, and vitamin B5, and suitable for all skin types except sensitive skin.
Tame frizzy hair with this intensive smoothing hair mask that helps soften and smooth dry and damaged hair (or try this “Botox treatment” for hair).
An ultra-moisturising formula that helps keep your puckers soft and hydrated is incorporated into this lipstick at its core – that’s the CD (that stands for Christian Dior) shape at the center – a must-have since colder climates almost always mean chapped lips.
Stash your matte lipstick and use this nourishing lip oil instead to keep your lips moisturised in the dry and cold weather. Wear it on its own or over a lipstick to add shine and gloss to it.
This melts into a milky liquid when it comes in contact with water, to remove makeup and impurities. The 50ml tube also makes it perfect for travel.
A rich buttery cream that’s perfect for parched skin and smells like roses, literally – rose butter, rose flower essential wax, rose hip oil, black rose oil and pastel rose oils deeply nourish and soothe skin. Massage it on your entire body, especially your legs, knees and elbows, as they tend to turn scaly in drier and colder climates easily.
