Dry skin in Winter comes as no shock to most of us. This is one of the most common skin concerns experienced by people over the colder months, and it’s become the norm year-on-year. Sometimes, this is due to the weather and sometimes its due to improper care – either way, dry skin is a reality.

He adds: “This month SKIN functional launches its balm series which encompasses two brand new products that will be added to the range that aim to bring back the hydration, restore the skin barrier and offer your skin everything it needs to withstand the harsh Winter conditions.”
