It’s no secret how much I adore beauty brand Clarins (my mother first introduced me to the brand when I was a teenager and I’ve been using it ever since)...
Throughout lockdown, I’ve rejigged my beauty routine slightly as my skin gets a lot drier in winter. Here are 5 of my favourites on high rotation from Clarins in my beauty cupboard right now.
I’ll start with my favourite – a face oil, that’s super hydrating and doesn’t feel greasy...
This hero product is made from 100% pure plant extracts and if you suffer from dry skin, or just want to get a winter glow, it works wonders. It contains a blend of Blue Orchid extract and essential oil of Patchouli, along with nourishing hazelnut oil which protects against dehydration and leaves the skin supple and satiny soft. I apply it morning and night throughout winter.

I’ve written about Double Serum many times, namely because it’s a product I use every day, year-round...
In winter, I’ll apply more of the product and always use it morning and night. It’s a best seller and the brand’s most powerful Complete Age Control Concentrate. Double Serum contains 21 active plant extracts, including Turmeric, which is known for its exceptional anti-ageing properties.
The Glow-to-Go Highlighter Stick is a new favourite, namely because anything that gives me a bit of colour during the winter months is a savour...
A dual-ended, 2-in-1 blush and highlighter stick that illuminates face, eyes, lips, and body with light-catching color, it’s a great pick-me-up during winter.

The Hydra-Essentiel range is so hydrating. Year-round, I use the Moisture Repairing Lip Balm...
Enriched with Blue Lotus Wax, it protects, hydrates, and nourishes lips. I keep mine in my car and use it regularly throughout the day.

I apply the iconic Beauty Flash Balm whenever my skin feels dry throughout the day...
Enriched with extracts of Olive tree and Rice, it’s deeply hydrating. You can also use it as a make-up primer or as a 10-minute mask on clean skin.
