I don't know if I've ever told you guys this but...my skin is dry as hell. It's so dry that in the winter my lips, nose and forehead start to flack, and I can scrape off fingernails-full of dead skin. Gross, I know. Exfoliation is a must, and I also need to moisturise. Deeply, deeply moisturise, like my whole body is a scar I'm trying to heal. If I don't do these things, my make-up starts to look cakey and terrible, which sort of defuses the whole point of wearing make-up...
One thing that has been helping my skin get through the winter months is the Origins Drink-Up Intensive Overnight Mask. I love Origins; their masks in particular, are outstanding. I own three of them (I'm sure I'll do another review at some point) but this one is by far my winter favorite. It smells like apricots or peaches or something like that, but isn't perfume-y at all. It smells natural and fresh and isn't overbearing when you cover your face in it. I leave it on overnight, because my skin needs it, but you can leave it on for just a few hours if you want. After using it for the first time I did notice that those little etches on my forehead that I had taken to my first wrinkles were now completely gone. Turns out I wasn't getting old before my time, my skin was just thirsty.
