My top 5 winter dressing table essentials

As the seasons change, so do our daily routines. The air gets colder and the nights are darker, leaving us feeling

The first thing I start to notice when winter is approaching is my skin drying out more than usual. I always suffer with dry skin especially on my hands.
My absolute saviour is the Hemp Hand Protector from The Body Shop. This stuff is amazing! I've even caught my husband stealing some from my hand bag, so I bought him his own!

I can be very forgetful when it comes to moisturising the rest of my body - usually because I don't have enough time! But I find I make more of an effort in the winter months especially, as I said before i tend to find my skin feels more dry around this time. Recently I have been reaching for the Palmers Coconut Oil moisturiser, recommended to me by a friend. It smells divine and leaves my skin feeling and smelling lovely all day. It dries nicely too and doesn't carry that oily finish like some moisturisers can.

I always, always have to have lip balm with me. In my handbag, on my bedside table and even in my makeup bag. In my opinion you really can't beat good classic vaseline. I find it really is the best at making my lips feel soft and moisturised.

As daytime hours get shorter and the weather duller, it makes it harder for us ladies to access good lighting whilst getting ready. This little No7 dressing table saviour has probably been one of the best presents Miles has ever bought me! It provides 2 sides to the mirror, one normal and the other zoomed (good for tweezing those brows!) It also has a ring light all the way around both sides of the mirror - HURRAH! P.s Boots usually have these on offer each year as Christmas is approaching.

 Colder air, plus having the heating on can also cause your hair to dry out. Whilst I'm all for conditioning treatments, I also think this little baby is essential for assisting those brittle, split ends. Great for detangling when your hair is wet, but also good for avoiding any additional breakage when brushing. A must-have for every girl (or boy) especially those with long hair!
