LUSH Lip Scrub (Popcorn + Santa Baby)
I think your lips are the first thing that alerts you Autumn has arrived, not only from the Pumpkin Spice Latte's they are drinking, but the cold weather that makes them crack and feel dry. To combat this, I like to firstly use a lip scrub. You can make your own as they are mostly sugar, a binding oil and a flavouring, but I'm a LUSH lover and can never resist their Popcorn one, or as we are nearing the Christmas season - Santa Baby which tastes like cola! The idea is that you scrub your lips and then eat it...I don't really like the thought of eating dead skin, so I like to use mine when I brush my teeth and use the toothbrush to exfoliate them further!
Lush Passion Fruit Lip Balm
My second tip for protecting your lips in the colder weather is to layer on an armour of lip balm! There are so many great ones on the market, you could even use coconut oil which
works brilliantly also. I happen to be enjoying the passion fruit option from LUSH which smells beautiful and keeps my lips hydrated for ages. Even if you're a chatterbox like me!
Pacifica Day & Night Moisturiser
I find that in the autumn and winter my skin gets dryer from the weather and the central heating, so I need to put back that moisture with a heavy duty moisturiser. In the summer, I wouldn't really opt for a day moisturiser and would just go onto primer, but at the moment I find my skin is craving it like I crave hummus. This product can be used as a day + night moisturiser, however I prefer to use it in the mornings as it contains a whole host of natural ingredients that help to deeply moisturise and protect your skin, and support collagen whilst providing radiance. It's the perfect consistency - not too thin that it disappears and not too thick so you can wear foundation over it.
Organic Surge Overnight Sensation Night Cream Moisturiser
This night cream is such a treat! I pop this on just before bed, it goes on really creamy and massages in well. It also helps me to drift off to sleep due to the fact it is enriched with a lavender essential oil that helps your relax and also calms your skin. It also contains cocoa and Shea butters that nourish your skin so in the morning you have softer skin with a brighter complexion! I also love that this is "98.99% natural" is vegan friendly and is not tested on animals!
Nourish Revital Eyes Eye Cream
I use a rich and slightly thicker eye cream all year round, but I thought I would include it here as I know some people opt for a lighter one in the summer and may be looking for a winter friendly one! The Nourish Revital Eye Cream is packed full of things that you'd usually use in a salad such as kale, maqui berries and pomegranate which help to get rid of puffiness and dark circles. It also contains peptides and antioxidants to "boost the natural resilience of ageing" whilst still being mild around the delicate eye area!
Lush Charity Pot
This body lotion is one of the best I have tried. I use it all over my body and find it leaves my skin feeling so soft and supple for hours afterwards! I sometimes use a bit as a hand cream too, it's that good. It also does good for the charities that LUSH works with, for every pot that is purchased 100% of the prices goes directly to the charity itself which I think is fantastic.

Green People Organic Butterfly Conservation Nourish Hand Cream - Ho Wood & Red Mandarin
Hand cream is a definite must for this time of year. I like to have one in my bag while I'm on the go. I always look for a rich a creamy one that smells gorgeous and this wins hands down! Fragranced with "Ho wood and red mandarin" and packed with essential oils, this keeps my hands soft and hydrated. I also love the beautiful packaging and the fact that for everyone bought a donation goes to the Butterfly Conservation to protect butterflies, moths and their environment!
I hope you enjoyed my Autumn/winter skincare updates to help you beat the cold weathers effects on your skin this year! All of the above products are vegan and by cruelty free brands. For more information on other brands that are also in the same categories see this PETA list.
