Bad Weather Beauty – Our Top Picks To Keep You Looking Stunning In The Snow

The elements might be working against us at the moment but there is a way to still look half-decent as you trudge through the slush and tread carefully on icy patches. A selection of super efficient products that you can keep in your handbag is essential at this time of year and they need not cost a fortune either.

From luxurious balms to hardworking hand creams, these are the products you need to equip yourself with.

Face:

Steam Cream has a cult following and once you’ve used it, it’s easy to see why. Containing lavender oil, orange flower water, almond and jojoba oil, this three-in-one moisturiser is suitable for face, body and hands and the decorative tin is perfect for chucking in your handbag so you can apply on the go. We love this cute cat print but if kitty’s aren’t your thing, you can go for one of the other designs available.

Steam Cream Kitty Tin, €18, exclusive to ASOS

Hair:

Wind, woolly hats and icy rain, sleet and snow can wreak havoc on your hair and chances are it will become tangled and matted as you brave the elements. The Tangle Teezer has been devised to rid your tresses of tangles in seconds and is so easy to use, especially on wet hair. Once you’ve tried it you’ll never go back to a normal brush!

 

Tangle Teezer, €15.50

Lips:

When the weather is this bad, you need to use a product that soothes and softens chapped lips but if you’re suffering from lipstick withdrawals this is a very happy medium. Giving just the right amount of colour, this luxurious balm will keep your smackers feeling smooth and soft. Plus, the colour gives a nod to the new season’s obsession with orange.

Korres Mango Lip Butter, €9.50 at Debenhams

Hands:

Fed up of using creams and balms that didn’t work, when paediatric nurse Antonia Stevens had to sign herself off work because her hands had become so chapped and cracked she set about creating her own formula and so Yes! Nurse was born. This nourishing yet non-greasy cream contains Maunka honey, plant seed oils, aloe vera and pomegranate amongst others and will leave your hands feeling lovely and soft and taken care of.

 

Yes Nurse! Hand Cream, €6.99
