After rather a late start to Autumn the temperature has now taken a dip and combined with central heating this spells bad news for a glowing complexion! All this, plus layers of winter clothes, zaps the moisture and can leave skin dry and dull. Here are our favorite winter skin savers to keep you as fresh looking as spring.

No winter bathroom shelf is complete without Elizabeth Arden’s Eight Hour Cream. Created in 1930 this balm is still one of the worlds best selling products. Formulated with Petrolatum, Salicylic Acid and Vitamin E skin is instantly soothed, hydrated and protected. Moisture is sealed in and this product is great for any area on the face and body which is what gives this balm cult status. Available in the original skin protectant, which is my favorite, and now for lips, hands, body and daily moisturizer with SPF 15.
