Meet The Grazia Beauty Team’s Unglamorous Cold Weather Beauty Essentials, From Just £7

This multitasking skin salve is proven to immediately soothe irritated and damaged skin, while creating the optimal environment for healing and repair. Loaded with a unique prebiotic complex (Tribioma), it combines 5% vitamin B5 and madecassoside​, with antibacterial agents zinc and manganese, to reduce discomfort, boost the skin's natural recovery process, and fortifying the skin microbiome. Ideal for sensitive skin, the balm is suitable for the whole family and can be used on the face and body to tackle everything from nappy rashes to post-treatment skin.

Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'This healing balm has seen me through my worst skin days. From post-laser treatment peeling to irritation caused by an overuse of actives, I am fully versed in the adverse effects of a compromised skin barrier. Each time it strikes, I retreat to this, coating my skin in a generous layer of its unctuous, healing goodness before bed only to rise the next morning with noticeably calmer, soothed and more balanced skin. While thick, it glides over like butter and leaves behind a breathable barrier that sits comfortably on the skin. With winter on the horizon, I have already perched a tube of this on my bedside table to give pesky dry patches the same overnight treatment as and when they inevitably come.'

Loaded with the brand's C+-Restor a patented post-biotic active derived from Avène's famous Thermal Spring Water which promotes skin restoration, as well as healing and antibacterial zinc, this 96% natural origin ingredient lip comforter repairs chapped lips as well as small areas of dry, cracked skin.

Maria Papakleanthous, beauty assistant, says: 'With the coldest months approaching, nothing troubles me more than dry, chapped lips. If there is one essential that I always keep in my bag? It’s always Avène’s Cicalfate+ Lips Repair Lip Balm. Designed to nourish and protect from morning until night, it is enriched with C+-Restore (a patented post-biotic), zinc and thermal spring water to support skin repair. The formula is impressive - it's water-resistant and provides long-lasting hydration, soothing my flaky lips and leaving them soft and velvety. With just one swipe, my lips feel smoother, plumper and utterly rejuvenated. Bonus point? It’s fragrance free, so no one has to miss out. Would recommend.'

This body lotion is made with hyaluron, hydrolysed collagen and vaseline jelly to boost skin hydration and lock in deep moisture while helping plump up tired skin.

Rachael Martin, beauty director, says: 'I can't pretend I don't love a luxury body lotion. A heavy glass jar set atop my bath tub is my idea of heaven. While this body lotion doesn't exactly look luxurious trust me when I say it truly is. For dry, parched skin, nothing feels quite so nourishing while remaining silky and lightweight. Just a small amount applied post shower leaves my skin positively glowing. The design here is clever - the formula bursts into water droplets upon application, coating my skin in a rich, velvety layer of nourishment that sinks in quickly. My only gripe? I get through this stuff much too quickly. But for only £12.99, I shouldn't really complain.'
