Masked Heroes

Give your skin and hair some TLC with these intense treatments

Face fixers

Overindulging, harsh weather and hormones can all play havoc with our complexions, and sometimes we need more than our daily moisturiser. Try using a targeted product once a week for 10-15 minutes. For a deep hydration hit, look for hero ingredients like hyaluronic acid to keep cheeks feeling soft – try Yes To Avocado Hydrating Cream Mask, £3. If dullness is your issue, look for brightening boosters like B.glycolic Exfoliating Mask, £12.99, which uses gentle AHAS to buff away dead skin, or Boots Glow Banana Brightening Mask, £5, which deep-cleans pores and adds radiance. If you’re prone to redness, try The Inkey List Madecassoside Mask, £9.99 – it’s packed full of calming ingredients to reduce flare-ups.

Perfect pinkies

The last couple of years have been a nightmare for our hands – regular sanitiser and extra washing is stripping our skin of natural moisture and the cold weather doesn’t help. Using a mask once a week will keep your fingers in perfect condition – try Nails

Inc Thirsty Hands, £5, which is a pair of gloves pre-filled with serum to give an intense shot of hydration. O.P.I Advanced Softening Gloves, £8, will work particularly well to fight off rough patches after just one use. Alternatively, treat yourself to a pair of cotton gloves like So Eco Spa Moisture

Gloves, £5. Slather your mitts with hand cream, then pop them on before bed and wake up to silky-soft digits.

Heavenly hair

Keeping moisture levels topped up is hugely important when it comes to your tresses. Dryness from overstyling can lead to split ends and flyaways. For a seriously fruity barnet boost, slather your hair with The Body Shop Banana Truly Nourishing Hair Mask, £12, or give Faith In Nature Coconut & Shea Hair Mask, £6.99, a go. The natural goodies will bring back softness in no time. Curly girls will love Seoulista Curly Locks Hair Mask, £12 – a treatment designed to strengthen and add definition. If regular colouring has taken its toll, bring back shine and tone with a dose of Christophe Robin Shade Variation Mask, £35.

Flawless feet

Our heels don’t get much attention at this time of year, but show your tootsies some TLC now, and you will save yourself lots of faff when sandal season returns. Starskin Exfoliating Double Layer Foot Mask Socks, £13.50, gently melt away rough heels with lactic acid and, after a few days, your skin will peel to leave you with baby-soft soles. For lighter dryness, try Skin Republic Foot Repair Socks, £5.49, which are infused with peppermint and seaweed to nourish and soothe.
