Winter is my favourite season, but it is not kind. Since it started getting colder I've noticed my skin getting drier and I'm sure you guys have too. Whether you're out in the cold, or inside in the central heating, your poor skin doesn't catch a break. So we've compiled a series of skin saving features to help you battle through to spring with the healthy, smooth and nourished complexion you deserve.
First up: lip balm. Lips are often the first thing to be affected by the cold, becoming chapped and dehydrated. Piling on the lip balm can serve to make things worse, because many of them dry your skin out further, and discourage your lips from producing their own protective oils.
After testing a load, we've summed up our favourite six. Check them out in the gallery above.
Dermalogica Climate Control Lip Treatment
This is amazing, my favourite them all - put it on once and you don't need to re-apply for hours, which might be due to the fact that it contains less humectants (which can dry lips out) than most balms have. As well as providing relief, it also helps lips to improve their own natural barrier to protect from environmental damage, and has lots of emollients to keep them hydrated. Wonder product - well worth it's £7.80 price tag.
