If the smell doesn’t get you in to a Lush shop, this balm should. It tastes, looks, and smells amazing, and it does a great job of getting rid of all the dry skin on your lips thanks to this manky weather.
This stuff is amazing, it quenches your skin in tiny amounts so it lasts for ages. It’s also in the three for two skincare in Boots a lot, so keep an eye.
Boots, €22.49.
3. Mio body brush
Sick of bad quality scrubs? This brush promises to exfoliate, boost lymphatic drainage, and get rid of cellulite all in one go. If only. It’s fierce good at getting rid of dead, dry skin, though.
BeautyBoutique.ie, or Dowlings Pharmacy Baggot Street, €20.00
4. Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask
This actually makes you look better when you wake up in the morning, and is worth the higher price.
This stuff is perfect to get rid of those frizzy windswept strands, and it’s an absolute steal so you can stock up until it’s summer hair you have to deal with.
This stuff will give you a tint of colour while being more moisturising than any BB cream should be. It also contains SPF30, because you should be wearing sunscreen even though it’s lashing… Be quick though, it seems Topshop are phasing this gem out.
One of the biggest problem with Irish winter skin is… how white it is. If you’re not delighted to stick with your Irish rose skin, slab on some of this Cocoa Brown buildable tan. It won’t leave you looking tangoed, and moisturises as it goes.
Coconut oil was the big beauty product of 2015, but just because the hype has died down doesn’t mean you should discount it. It can be used for almost anything. Lips, hair, skin, and is especially effective when worn to bed on your feet. You’ll be as soft as a baby.
