Keeping skin quenched in drying winter weather is important, but using a purifying mask a few times a week will help keep it moisturised too. For seriously stressed skin that needs an instant pick-me-up, reach for Sisley’s Black Rose Cream Mask. This rich, creamy mask is loaded with all the antioxidant-rich plumping powers of black rose (and smells incredible, by the way). Apply generously, leave for 10-15 minutes, and then use a muslin cloth and warm water to remove the excess.  

Sleep masks are our latest skincare obsession (and not just because we’re such huge fans of sleep). Unlike their clay-based cousins, these supercharged treatments soak into the skin right away, so you can leave them to work their magic while you slumber. Our favourite: La Prairie’s Skin Caviar Sleep Mask – not only is it lightweight (so it won’t stick to your pillowcase), but it’s also loaded with skin-firming caviar extracts and exfoliating papaya enzymes so you wake up to instantly brighter skin. Just dot a generous amount on the cheeks, forehead and chin, then brush over your entire face and leave on overnight.

Let’s face it: who doesn’t want a little golden glow when you’re dealing with grey skies and bleak weather? Infused with the brand’s famous nutrient-rich Miracle Broth, La Mer’s Gradual Tan is the perfect bronzing-hydrating hybrid, and it’s also mercifully free from that horrid biscuity fragrance. Win-win.

We’ve talked a lot about complexion, but it’s just as important to give your hands the TLC they deserve too. After all, with all that exposure to the elements, they’re often the first place to show signs of weathering. Kiehl’s Lavendar Richly Hydrating Hand Cream deeply nourishes with shea butter and vitamin E. Bonus: it smells pretty divine, too.
