BEAUTY

Whether you’re hitting the slopes or hibernating, your skin is at its lowest ebb in January, facing a three-pronged assault from illness, central heating and sub-zero temperatures. Tackle the rejuvenation process head-on with nourishing face oils, potent serums and primers or balms to give your skin a dash of TLC when it needs it most. Lips take a battering in winter too, so load on balms and barely-there lipsticks with emollient qualities to keep chapping at bay.
