Look good this winter & keep germ free...

As the cold and winter really seem to have hit this week I thought I would share with you my must have products for this time of year. With the blast of heating and the cold damp air outside your products need to start working over time! So why not show your skin and hair some lovely this winter and glow throughout? 

First off I think you need to start with the very basics and that for me is the washing of your face every morning. As I said with the change from hot, dry air indoors to the cold damp air outdoors your skin can go in shock. It can dry and look dull pretty quick. I just adore the Eau Thermale Avene Cold Cream Cleansing Bar. It is soap free and leaves your skin incredibly soft, moisturised and clear! Love it!!

After that its moisturise moisturise all the way! I use the fabulous Nivea crème for my body but for my face I follow JoannaLumley, Amanda Holden & Kate Bekingsale’s lead and use the little blue bottle – Astrals Moisturing crème! I have sensitive skin and I quite happily swear by this for keep my skin hydrated without clogging all year round!

I don’t tend to wear foundation in Winter. I find it too heavy and it tends to look very dry very quickly so a quick thrown of Nivea’s BB Cream and then I use the gorgeous Dr Paw Paw tinted balm (which works on both skin and lips) to add a dash of colour and rosy cheeks. Perfect and it protects from the bitter wind!

My next essentials are for the hair. Heavy styling takes place this time of year with various parties, events and the continuous damp weather, so I rely heavily on my straightening irons. It always worth protecting your hair all year round if you use a hair dryer and tongs as hair becomes brittle. A quick spritz of Xpel Argan Hair Oil Heat Defence leaves my hair shiny and soft all thankfully and doesn’t weigh it down. Perfect. 

Of course with winter comes the dreaded coughs and sniffles if not more horrible virus’s. The kids are topped everyday with Haliborange immune support and while I love the Mr Men figures I instead use Emergen-C Zingy Lemon. This and having antibacterial gel are a constant over winter and since we’ve managed (keep your fingers crossed for this winter) to avoid these all I trust these help! There is nothing worse than being ill in winter.

And then finally are my lovely boots. I am out quite early and late walking the dogs and its amazingly how quickly your feet freeze. So, inside my wellies and walking boots I pop in some lovely lambs wool insoles. They stop your feet getting wet and rubbing and keep them nice and snuggly even in the worse of weathers!

All of these products can be bought from Chemist.co.uk and a discounted from the RRP cost. They arrive quickly and the company have always been great with delivery and queries I have had. So how about you? What are you must haves for the winter?
