Winter is definitely here and along with biting cold and endless rain, we also have some unsettled skin conditions to contend with. Following on from last year\u2019s winter moisturisers<\/a>, we\u2019ve put together a selection of our favourite products for this year to keep your skin protected through to spring.<\/p>\n

Nimue Element Barrier<\/strong>
\nDesigned specifically to protect skin from extreme weather conditions, Nimue<\/a> Element Barrier is the perfect winter addition to your skincare routine. With claims of lasting hydration and \u2018reinforcement of the cohesion of the skin barrier\u2019, the cream is surprisingly light and quick-absorbing. Instructions are to apply over moisturiser for an extra defence against the elements, but it\u2019s also quite moisturising in its own right. At 100ml, it\u2019s a sizeable bottle for \u20ac44.85. Available from spas and salons nationwide.<\/p>\n

Pukka Ayurveda Firming Face Oil<\/strong>
\nFacial oils are always a guaranteed winner for extremely dry skins, and this one from Pukka Ayurveda<\/a> is no exception. A blend of rich seed oils, plant extracts, essential oils and fatty acids, the oil promises firming effects alongside hydration. This is slightly more difficult to spread than some other facial oils<\/a>, absorbing quickly and leaving less residue than you might expect. Deeply moisturising, try adding a few drops to your usual moisturiser to make it go that bit further. Available from health food stores for \u20ac47.60 for 30ml. <\/p>\n

The Body Shop Shea Beautifying Oil<\/strong>
\nAnother nutrient-packed oil, this Shea edition from The Body Shop uses Fair Trade, cruelty-free ingredients<\/a> sourced from Ghana. Deliciously scented with lightly sweet nuttiness, it can be used on the face, body and even hair. The bottle is a little on the small side, but only a tiny amount is needed for each application. Unlike many oils, this leaves a glow on the skin without a greasy sheen. From Body Shop stores, the Shea Beautifying Oil retails at \u20ac15.<\/p>\n

[Comfort Zone] Renight Recover Cream<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s not just during the cold winter days that skin needs nourishing \u2013 night time moisturisation is essential for recovery and replenishment. Comfort Zone<\/a>\u2019s Renight Recover Cream is an intensive repairing treatment to help skin restore and protect its hydration levels while you sleep. Loaded with goji berry oil, it\u2019s pure silk on the skin and one of the most luxurious at-home moisturisers you\u2019ll come across. Available from Harmony – A Touch of Spa<\/a> in Cork, Spa Sula<\/a> in Mayo and a number of other Comfort Zone stockists for \u20ac75.25 (50ml).<\/p>\n

Voya Me Time Moisturiser<\/strong>
\nIrish brand Voya<\/a> specialises in seaweed-rich formulations for glowing skin. Their Me Time Moisturiser promises collagen-boosting effects for a supple complexion and organic aloe vera and chamomile to soothe winter-weary skin. As moisturisers go, it\u2019s extremely light in texture. Without leaving an oily residue, it provides deep down hydration and relief from dry patches. \u20ac57 for 50ml from Bellinter House<\/a>, The Spa at The Horse & Jockey<\/a>, Chill Spa<\/a>, The Spa at No. 1<\/a>, Delphi Mountain Resort<\/a>, The Heritage Resort<\/a> and a number of other spas around the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
