While my winter wardrobe is thriving in the cold snap (faux fur and roll necks are my kryptonite), my skin certainly isn’t flourishing. Darting between stale offices, hot coffee shops, freezing Tube platforms and windy streets triggers dreaded seasonal eczema for me, an annual torment I’ve suffered since childhood.

This January the flare-up has taken over the skin around my lips and chin – not the ideal front row accessory for a fashion editor. If you suffer too, you’ll know make-up becomes near impossible to apply and most products burn or aggravate the issue rather than fix it.

Growing up in the Noughties, the only available treatments were strong topical steroid creams, some of which did harm than good, in my experience. I’m still haunted by the chalky chemical smells of GP-recommended hydrocortisone ointments and Cetraben overnight emollient lotions that my poor mum had to slather me in.

Two decades later and skincare has finally cottoned on to the eczema issue; oat-infused products, barrier-building creams, hypoallergenic testing and fragrance-free formulas abound. I reckon I’ve sampled the majority of them.

These are the failsafe steps I take and the products I reach for on repeat to combat dry and cracked skin until spring.

Switch up your cleanser

As much as I love it, my usual go-to Elemis cleansing routine doesn’t cut it when my skin is aggravated or raw. Instead, I opt for something much gentler until the flare-up has gone. Cue Aveeno’s Face Calm and Restore Nourishing Cleanser. This clever, balmy product is formulated with prebiotic oat, which is known to help restore the moisture barrier of your skin, as well as calming feverfew (AKA a daisy-like herb traditionally used to reduce inflammation) for its antioxidant properties to calm the area. Brilliantly, it’s also fragrance-free. And non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog your pores.

The night cream to know

I find sleeping in a mask of moisturiser really helps to reset and prep my skin for the next day’s make-up routine. Having tried at least 15 different overnight recovery creams, I can confidently say the Ultra Facial Barrier Cream by Kiehl’s is unmatched. Non-greasy and lightweight, it sinks into rather than sits on skin – no need to worry about it going on your pillows. And it contains a unique combination of glacial glycoprotein, which attracts and locks in moisture for prolonged hydration, as well as olive-derived squalane; a vegan skincare ingredient extracted from olives that mimics the skin’s natural oils and promotes cell regeneration. Who knew olives were so clever? It’s not cheap, but a little goes a long way.

Upgrade your lip balm

Forget rose-flavoured Vaseline and avoid Carmex at all costs. La Roche Posay’s famous cicaplast formula comes in a lip balm iteration too. Again, it’s a barrier-building product which soothes and nourishes the skin, working against the cold and wind and preventing future chapping. It contains panthenol, a powerful humectant which strengthens the skin’s barrier, promotes healing and reduces inflammation. Your pout will be back to normal in no time.

Start your skincare in the shower

It’s not glamorous, but it really does the job: E45’s Dry Skin Relief Body Wash is a gamechanger. Not only does this cleanse the skin, but moisturises and maintains its natural PH. It’s soap and fragrance free and is so gentle you can even use it on newborn babies. Plus, it doesn’t foam, which can cause serious irritation to dry patches.

Your haircare is also your bodycare

I’m stating the obvious here, but whatever you wash your hair with will end up washing over your skin too. Even if you’re slathering on barrier-building lotion and sticking to a pared-back regime, harsh shampoos and conditioners will only undo your work and fuel flare-ups. over, a dry scalp won’t benefit from being washed of all its moisture. Aveeno is also excellent for its haircare, with a soothing oat and almond blend range that actually cleans your hair without stripping away essential oils. Its Skin Relief Soothing Shampoo is soap-free and contains colloidal oatmeal (finely ground oat powder) which relieves itchiness but leaves hair beautifully shiny. I also rate the Daily Moisture and Oat Milk Blend Conditioner for its heavenly texture and how it keeps my ends in check.

Hypoallergenic mouth tape

Admittedly, I’m a snorer, so each night I mouth tape to ensure my boyfriend and I get a good eight-hour kip. If you also strap in for the night, hypoallergenic, silk-laced tapes will be far gentler on your lips and on the skin around your mouth. I like this one from SleepSeal because it’s easy to remove, doesn’t snag at skin and doesn’t leave a residue, plus the skin tone shade is far less startling than wearing black.
