BEAUTY Editor Lauren Ezekiel reveals this month’s must-have beauty products, from Redken's £12 recovery mask to the £90 Rolls-Royce of wrinkle fighters.
Here's tips for how to stop dry skin and products that won't break the bank.
No time for a face mask but still in need of a deep cleanse? Say hello to Elizabeth Arden Superstart Probiotic Cleanser Whip To Clay.
It goes on as a cream, but in just one minute turns into clay and washes away like foam.
Oh, and the probiotic it contains will bring your skin back to its healthy, balanced best.
I swear by a cream blush to wake up my tired-looking skin. And it takes zero skill to apply – great when I’m in a rush.
J’adore Lancôme Macaron Blush Bomb in Rose Whipped, £35
J'adore's Blush bomb can be used on lips and eyes.
And the macaron-shaped sponge with it is très chic!
Redken All Soft Mega Recovery Sheet Mask, £12
I’m all for a bit of tress TLC, but sometimes I find hair masks too messy.
Based on the facial sheet mask concept, you simply apply this treatment-soaked cloth to hair, get on with whatever you need to do, then rinse.
It’s specifically for dry, fluffy locks, so it’s perfect for this time of year when central heating can wreak havoc.
MOST READ IN FABULOUS
Caudalie's new serum is new to its Premier line and is backed by Harvard Medical School.
It may be expensive, but given it contains the antioxidant resveratrol and betaine plant extract to protect against environmental stresses and increase collagen by 46%, it’s the Rolls-Royce of wrinkle fighters. Get saving!
At this time of year, when it’s too early for a deep fake tan and I’m too pale to go au naturel, it’s all about the faux glow.
That’s why I’m loving Bobbi Brown's new offering.
I apply it all over pre-foundation for a complexion boost, as well as across my cheeks, forehead and nose for a subtle sun-kissed sheen.

My skin is so dry, my nose is peeling! Is there an intensive product you can recommend? Lucy, Essex
When does your skin start to feel dry? If it’s immediately post-cleanse, this could be the issue.
During the winter months we produce less natural oil, so any intensive cleansing (including double cleansing and facial devices) can be too stripping, leaving you with dehydrated and flaky skin.
Opt for a balm or cream cleanser like and avoid excess rubbing.
Allow it to sink in, then rinse. If you’re dry by 11am, up your daily moisturiser – look for a product that contains hyaluronic acid, or apply a few drops of to your face AM and PM.
In terms of masks, is my go-to, but is an impressive budget buy.
It has the same smooth texture and come morning my skin feels nourished. Try , on your nose. It’s so good!
