It’s crucial to give your skin some extra attention, especially during winter. The sudden temperature drop can be ruthless on your skin. Your best defense against the weather is to keep your winter skincare routine updated—we’re talking barrier-fortifying, skin-loving ingredients that promise to shield your skin from the cold. Without further ado, we’ve listed six powerful formulas from our Global Store that are designed to keep your skin happy and hydrated throughout the cold snap.
1. Dr. Barbara Sturm - Hyaluronic Serum
One of her most popular offerings, this hyaluronic acid serum by the legendary skin therapist Dr Barbara Sturm is powered with sodium hyaluronate (a soluble derived from hyaluronic acid) and purslane ( an anti-ageing powerhouse) that help the skin stay young, healthy, and hydrated—especially during the colder months. Barbara Strum recommends waiting 30 seconds and following it up with a moisturiser.
2. Elemis Pro-collagen Marine Cream Spf 30
This award-winning collagen cream is highly hydrating, formulated with powerful marine and plant actives to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
