In the summer months, it’s common for many of us to let our beauty routines slip a little as thoughts of sunshine and parties and beach holidays prove too distracting. This is understandable (we’re as guilty as you are!), but come wintertime, it’s important to stop and take a little extra care. Cold, dark nights may seem dismal compared to the summer sun, but they’re actually the perfect time to spend rejuvenating your hair with a leave in-serum, or treating your skin with a nourishing mask. Whether your hair is a little dry or your skin a bit dull, here’s our pick of the best high-quality beauty products to soothe, repair and restore this winter. Packed with unique and extra nourishing ingredients, they’re your ticket to a radiant new you come springtime.
