As the weather starts to change, so do our beauty routines. With colder and darker days ahead, switching up our products can help shield our skin and hair against external aggressors, such as the famous whipping winds of winter.
No matter your hair or skin type, set aside your summer faves and opt for a winter-friendly routine. Whether it’s a good old slather of moisturiser, a day cream that’s a little richer in texture, or a hair mask that gives our tresses an extra bit of TLC.
Want to tame the mane this winter and maintain your glow right through until spring? Get your hydrating fix with our seasonal superheroes.

• 250ml
• Density: medium to thick

Our hair gets put through the wringer in winter – from cold weather and blustering winds to wearing a cute but static-inducing hat – you name it, winter zaps the moisture from our hair. So wrestle dry strands with the multi-tasking leave-in treatment that’s enriched with a blend of six featherlight oils. Designed to protect and condition your hair against breakage, add onto damp hair or before styling to soften, silken, tame, defrizz and detangle your strands without weighing them down.

When it comes to removing your make-up in the cooler months, you want something that actively nourishes and calms the skin and avoids exacerbating dryness.

The moisture-boosting mask
