Winter months can be particularly hard on skin. Factors like winter frost, wind and internal heating can exacerbate dry and dehydrated skin and give that unpleasant “tight” feeling.
When dryness strikes, it’s important to boost both hydration and oils. Topically, few things beat an overnight face mask – it’s the ultimate winter skin saviour. Add any of these to your winter beauty regimen to restore plump, soft skin.
Here is a gallery of the best face masks for your skin type:
Best for an Instant Fix
For those in need of a ‘miracle cure’, try Tata Harper’s Moisturising Mask: a fast-acting fix which is packed with naturally derived Hyaluronic Acid. It promotes immediate retention of moisture from deep within the cells and anti-inflammatory benefits thanks to moisturising Camelia, Coconut and Olive oils and Tamanu. I even use a drop or two in my moisturiser when skin is particularly dry. Be prepared to glow! £88
