Baby, it’s cold outside! It’s time to switch on your heater, bring out the electric blankets and start using beauty products that warm the skin up… yes, you read right! Here’s our round-up of the best self-warming products on the market right now. You can thank us later.
For Face
For something a little more intense, Olay has an exfoliator that works just like a mini-peel. The tiny particles help to smooth the skin’s surface, and it’s even gentle to use every day. You won’t be able to put this down once you start trying it out. Try Olay Regenerist Thermal Skin Polisher $19.99
Need an even deeper cleanse? Add Bioré’s One Minute Mask to your shopping list; the charcoal-infused mask will clear away dirt, oil and surface toxins in… well you guessed it, just 60 seconds. Apply it on a wet face, massage it into your skin, and simply wash it all off once the time is up. Try Biore Self-Heating One Minute Mask, $7.99
For Body
Warm up a teaspoon of this luxurious oil for an at-home warming deep tissue massage. The mixture of blackthorn blossoms, birch leaves, St. John’s wort and sunflower oil will leave your skin well nourished, supple and toned, and will also improve overall elasticity. Try Dr. Hauschka Blackthorn Toning Body Oil, $37
Surprise your partner with this product – it’s a beautiful candle that doubles as a soothing massage oil as it melts. Scented with warming wood, this unforgettable gift will go down a treat for the romantic type. Try Babor Balancing Cashmere Wood Soothing Massage Candle, $90
Focusing on the balls of your feet and the heels, give hardened skin the flick with this hydrating and warming food cream. Before you go to bed, up the ante by applying the cream all over your feet and pop some socks on for super-smooth skin by the time morning comes. Try The Aromatherapy Co Therapy Feet Heat Rub, $18.95
For Hair
If your hair is looking a little lacklustre this winter, try a rich and nourishing oil like this one by Josie Maran. It’s loaded with argan oil and vitamin E which will moisturise deep within each strand, resulting in reduced hair breakage and improved smoothness. To use, smooth over wet hair and wash out – the warmth of your shower will help to activate the product and gently heat up your scalp. Try Josie Maran Argan Hot Oil Hair Treatment, $44
