Winter’s moving in and us girls will pledge not to let our faces get dry or our lips chapped, but before any of us know it life has got in the way, the central heating is up full crank (and with good reason... it’s cold outside), and our lips are cracked with our skin grey and dried out. Thankfully there are some fantastic remedies out there to help us keep on track this year.... Two of our favs are...Liz Earle was founded in 1995 by Liz and her close friend Kim Buckland. They’d met in the 80’s while working at Molton Brown. The ladies’ company has risen to success on the back of its natural philosophy that good skincare in about the ingredients in the jar. Originally launched on QVC the firm now has three stores and outlets in John Lewis employing more than 400 people. Their most successful product by far is the cleanse and polish hot cloth which sells every 30 seconds worldwide. Liz has recently launched a sheer skin tint, a barely there tinted moisturiser with SPF 15, shifting from skincare towards the unchartered waters of cosmetics – we hope it’s the first of many new products to come!
Interesting fact: Liz lives in the UK countryside and since founding Liz Earle has become an organic farmer as well!
No.7 Protect and Perfect Serum has been one the decades beauty success stories and a must have for a winter skin routine! Protect and Perfect has helped drive Boots' success in recent years and was accountable for pushing them through the recession according the Telegraph. The product showed beneficial results following the first reliable clinical trial on a cream available on the highstreet. It is found to encourage the production of Fibrillin-1 which makes skin more elastic (and therefore helps reduce winkles!). Following a BBC horizon documentary on the range, sales rockets 2,000%. An indpendent study by the University of Manchester found the No.7 cream was just as effective at reducing sun damage as creams available by prescription.
