The seasons this year seem to me to be working a good two months in advance. I’m already in coats and reaching for richer winter skincare. I’ve barely resisted, since some fantastically good and affordable launches have me excited.
Japan’s bestselling skincare brand, Curél, is now available at Boots and Sephora, and I can’t recommend it highly enough if your skin is sensitive and tetchy in the colder weather. The brand is designed around the Japanese principle of double cleansing and double moisturising, and while the latter may sound like a faff, Curél’s Deep Moisture Spray (£19.50) makes layering up a two-second job.
