Style tips and tricks

BRRRR

Noticed how your makeup changes consistency during winter? Eye and lip pencils, especially, can feel dry and scratchy against the skin when they’re cold — they are at their best at room temperature. So, if your tools are feeling the chill, warm them up by rubbing between your hands and make sure you always replace the cap or lid.

IN A TIZZ

Winter walk on the beach? Wind and salt spray can play havoc with hair. If yours is naturally curly or wavy (aka most of the female population), accept that no amount of straightening is going to ensure it stays sleek when it’s cold and damp outside. Best to embrace nature and work with the curl. You may also benefit from a clarifying shampoo since products used to control frizz can also build up and cause it. Another option is to treat hair to shampoos and conditioners specifically for stressed scalps. Kerastase’s Sensidote DermoCalm collection fits the bill perfectly, refreshing and protecting while leaving hair supple and soft. Also try a slightly richer conditioner such as ASPAR’s Macadamia & Quandong Replenishing Conditioner ($ 35), which combines nut oil with the ultra- hydrating quandong to make hair smooth.

NATURE’S SKIN-SAVERS

Looking for a natural insurance policy to help your skin as it ages? These are some of the main vitamins and minerals associated with a goodlooking complexion.

• B1 and B2: promote healthy skin and hair.

• B12: helps cells function properly.

• Vitamin A: essential for healthy skin and teeth. Try Joyce Blok Vitamin A with 1%

Retinol ($ 125), which offers advanced hydration and boosted cell renewal.

• Folate: helps skin cells regenerate.

• Vitamin C, iron and copper: all aid in the development of collagen. Reliable amounts of vitamin C — along with A and E — are in the ManukaRx Pro- Aging range.
