Nights are drawing in and temperatures are dropping. Here’s how to face the elements looking and feeling fabulous

CLEANSE GENTLY Chances are your summer cleanser has either run low or may not leave your skin feeling as comfortable as it did in when temperatures were higher.  Consider switching to a richer, more hydrating formula particularly if you have dry/normal skin. Once of the best is Jurlique’s Nourishing Cleansing Oil which turns milky on contact with water and leaves the skin feeling clean but comfortable. £32 jurlique.com

WINTER EYES Puffy eyes are always worse in the winter. Rather than overloading the skin at night with a potentially exacerbating eye product, use a hydrating and soothing formula in the morning. Institute Esthederm Intensive Hyaluronic Eye Serum £32.90 is light, refreshing on contact and reduces puffiness. £32.90 at Feelunique.com
