10 Hydrating Products to Conquer Winter Skin Woes
BY GEORGIA ROSE
The time has come to flee indoors and worship the creator of the aircon unit. But hello, it’s your skin calling, and it is not happy about the change of season.
3 AUG - 2021
Welcome to the hydration station. Here to plump you back up and send you on your merry way.
At this point in the season, you’ve mastered the art of layering. How many merinos can one fit under a sweater without looking like the Michelin man? But no matter how snug you may feel, the proximity from desk to heater is getting under your skin.
Now, it’s not just your face that’s having a hard time adjusting to a regular temp of 9 and below. So what’s helping me get through unscathed? Here’s a few of my hydrating heroes.

For Your Face
Generally, I don’t agree with having separate routines for summer and winter. However, I do think a little product switch here and there to help with skin changes is important. I mostly find this comes in the form of a moisturiser - I go for a thicker one during winter to pack in the hydration.

For Your Body
Don’t forget the rest of your body. If you’re a regular fake tanner, then you should be sorted, but for those of us who are lazy in that department, I often neglect the neck down. Even if it’s once a day, usually in the evening, dedicate some TLC to everywhere else.
Linden Leaves Memories Body Oil, $63.99
The Memories Body Oil is packed with nourishing rosehip and avocado oils to provide intense skin hydration. I’ve never been a huge fan of body oil - purely because my partner is always asking “are you still sticky” before I get into bed. In saying that, I’ll suffer through because Linden Leaves saved my poor dehydrated legs.

For Your Hair
It’s often true we spend so much time caring for our lengths, that we forget the root of the problem, pun intended. Starting at the top should ensure we have healthy hair all round.
Christophe Robin Salt Scrub, $79
We all know exfoliation is important in our facial routine, but it might also be the root cause of healthy hair year-round. Your scalp needs a little TLC during winter too. Robin’s salt scrub is the ultimate detox clearing build-up from all those mornings of dry shampoo (we’ve all been there).
