May- when the weather gets colder and your skin gets dryer

As the colder seasons approach, it is only natural that  skin gets flaky, lips are dry and bed is your new Friday night routine. 

Here are a few of my favourite things to get me through these tough, yet snuggle weather, times. From skin regimes to candles that will make your house feel like a summers day, these products are the ultimate winter grabs. 

My picks:

Bassike candles

With scents such as magnolia, seaside bonfire & cucumber, ginger & mint (fave), these candles are the ultimate scent pick me up for any space. Perfect for the bedroom or the office, you will feel energised and at peace in no time.

Comme Des Garcons 2 

With hints of patchouli, amber, incense and vetiver, this scent is the ultimate winter buy. A pick of mine for years, CDG 2 embodies exotic notes that are sure to add to any outfit and personality. 

Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream

This classic cream not only proves to be the ultimate skin re-hydrator, but it also acts as the balmiest of balms for day to day use. Personally, I use my 8 hour cream for chapped lips and dry skin before bed, as well as use excess on my eyelids and brows during the day. Creates a dewy complexion and radiance! 

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Overnight Hydrating Masque

Being a recent purchase, I personally cannot say that I have used this product enough to see impeccible results - yet. However, after one week worth of using, my skin has never felt softer! Applied as a masque over night, this product allows you to wake up with the softest, clear skin. I highly recommend giving this a go, as the damage that winter can leave on the skin can result in high levels of dryness and flakiness. 

Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat

One of my favourite highlighters in the biz! I chuck this on in the mornings (on top of my 8 hour cream) to create the ultimate, dewy coverage under the eyes, above the lip and above the brow. Available in an array of colours and shades, this product is one that every gal should have in her bag at all times. The greatest complexion pick me up!
