    Winter beauty problems, solved!

    Winter is coming, which means shorter days, colder nights and a new season of Game Of Thrones. It also means the beauty routine you established in summer doesn’t quite cut it anymore. And because of that, these winter beauty problems arise...

    #1 When your legs are so hairy, hair pokes through your stockings.

    Solution: Philips Lumea Precision Plus. If you start IPL now, you’ll see less hair growth in four weeks, and by winter, you won’t have to deal with much regrowth at all.

    #2 When you’re so cold, you can’t help but wash your hair every day just so you can put your head under hot water.

    Solution: Bioré Self-Heating One Minute Mask. It may not be the same as drenching your whole head in water, but it warms the skin upon application so you can enjoy the heat as it cleanses.

    #3 Your lips are so dry, kissing your partner has become less-than-sexy.

    Solution: Natralus Natural Paw Paw Lip Balm. The high concentration of Carica papaya in this ointment will help to restore your dry, chapped lips back to their kissable softness.

    #4 Your feet are constantly in socks or slippers so you have no idea what’s going on with them.

     

    Solution: Homedics Oasis Foot Spa. Your feet will soak up the warm water,which will also soften any dead skin. Quick pedi, anyone?

    #5 Sporting wet hair gives you the sniffles, so you’re using your hairdryer a little too frequently.

    Solution: Hot muk Thermal Protector. Prevent your hair from becoming seriously damaged by using this before any heat styling.

    #6 Your nose is red and sore from blowing it so much.

     

    Solution: Vicks Inhaler. It’ll clear your nose to make breathing easier, so you’ll reach for the tissues less and less.

    #7 After a shower, your aim is to get rugged up so fast, you skip moisturising. Every. Single. Time.

    Solution: Nivea In-Shower Body Lotion. Yep, you can now moisturise without leaving the warmth of your shower. Bliss.

    #8 Whenever you step outside, the wind blows your hair straight onto your lip gloss.

     

    Solution: Revlon ColorBurst™ Matte Balm. Its matte finish means your hair is less likely to stick.

    #9 Your foundation is too dark because you’ve lost your summer glow.

     

    Solution: Bondi Sands Gradual Tanning Milk Everyday Face. This beauty will give your face that summer colour again, without the risk of going overboard.

    The best investment for Winter is a humidifier or vaporiser to keep your skin supple and help your sinuses...

    Lucy16 18 Nov 2018 5:14 PM

    I want a foot spa but feel they are not necessarily the best investment!

    Lucy16 18 Nov 2018 5:12 PM

    In shower body lotions really do minimise the transepidermal water loss. I find they come in a pump pack it's even handier!

    Lucy16 18 Nov 2018 5:10 PM

    Winter! Brrrr. The time for opaque stockings and not waxing or shaving my legs. Yes, guilty!!!

    katie975 25 Jun 2018 7:02 PM

    These apply to me! Epically the one about moisturising after a shower! I just want to get warm!

    Girl789 25 Jun 2018 4:22 PM

    A few of these definitely apply to me right now - my lips are dry, my foundation was too dark so I had to buy another shade, and my feet are well hidden all the time.

    I like the sound of the revlon matte balm, and the reviews on BH are positive to boot - I'll have to check these out.

    A plus for me though is that I'm the same shade of foundation all year round because I'm extremely fair and never tan. lol.

    it's the small things.

    sunjeanie 9 May 2018 6:24 PM

    Winter is the worst. I get so lazy in winter. I basically stop shaving and I really spread the time out between hair washes because I hate having cold wet hair.

    Lucy16 18 Nov 2018 5:15 PM

    Yup, same here...

    onlyoni 10 Jun 2017 7:47 PM

    I definitely skip the shaving and body moisturising routines but pay a bit more attention to my feet because they don't get as much airing as they do in warmer weather.

    Goddess..... 8 Jun 2017 3:10 PM

    No.7 applies to me.

    jlsta 3 May 2017 6:13 PM

    oh the foundation shade, story of my life!

    skincare junkie 2 Aug 2016 7:49 PM

    I can completely relate to rugging up!!! And skip moisturising!! I have just bought a warming oil though. Will try that! :)

    number 4 except that is for my neck rather than feet.

    I like the idea of a in shower moisteriser. I also recommend the lush body massage bars they are traditionally used dry but I prefer to use them in the shower they smell great and moisterise my skin all in one go.
