bdTrial: Winter ready

The BD team get set for winter with a line-up of creams, tans, and mineral miracles.

MOR Correspondence Hand Cream  
As of next week, winter’s officially here. And its onslaught always has an unfortunate effect on my skin, and especially my poor hands. Enter: MOR Correspondence Hand Cream in Cyclamen Tuberose. Argan oil and chamomile moisturise dry, chapped skin, while pomegranate and rooibos extract provide the all-important anti-ageing properties (while keeping my mitts smelling delightful). - Sarah

Skinny Tan Gradual Tanner
With winter upon us, we’re all looking for clever ways to maintain that bronzed glow we rocked in summer. My solution? The Skinny Tan Gradual Tanner, which develops into a natural-looking tan for both the face and body. Unlike a lot of tanners on the market, which require you to apply a thick coat and then stay out of the public eye for a few hours, the Gradual Tanner can be used like a daily moisturiser, and doesn't get in the way of everyday life. Give it a week to work its magic. Oh, and the formula helps to disguise cellulite and visibly smooth skin. #winning - Kloe

Synergie Skin Minerals Makeup
I’ve been making a conscious effort to pay attention to what I’m putting on my skin. I’ve recently started using the new Synergie Minerals range, a pressed mineral make-up line that works as an extension of your skincare regime. The products are free from parabens, dimethicone and artificial colours, and certified cruelty-free as well as 100 per cent Australian made and owned. My top picks are the HydroBlush in Spice and the Eyedration eyeshadow in Merlot, the perfect shades for transitioning into the cooler months. Synergie Minerals ticks all of the right boxes for me! - Aja

Mesoestetic Energy C Intensive Cream
After being recommended this product by a friend, it took just one pump to realise that me and this intensive cream were going to get along very well. The moisturising cream has a luxe texture and feels delightfully silky on my skin. It's super efficacious, and is formulated with a high concentration of vitamin C to even out skin tone and protect it from UV rays. With the inclusion of vitamin E and osilift, the Energy C Intensive Cream is a powerful defender against the visible signs of ageing - making it a total winner in my books. - Yelena

Medik8 beta Moisturise
I scar really easily (thanks for THAT genetic predisposition, mum!), and I have small scars on my face from my former acne that just wouldn’t disappear. That was until I discovered the amazing miracle ingredient that is beta-glucan, which encourages cell regeneration and repair. I’ve been using a few different products that boast this as a key ingredient, but this week I’m obsessed with the Medik8 beta Moisturise. An oil-free and non-comedogenic moisturiser, it leaves my skin hydrated and blemish-free while also working its magic on the annoying little scars that have taken up residence on my mug. - Kelly

SkinCeuticals Metacell Renewal B3
SkinCeuticals Metacell Renewal B3 is my absolute skin saviour! Being on the wrong side of 25, I’m at that ‘in between stage’ in my skin life. I still worry about breakouts and the occasional oil slick, but I’m also starting to think about preventing fine lines and keeping my skin hydrated. SkinCeuticals Metacell Renewal B3 manages to keep my skin hydrated and glowing while stopping those pesky pimples from popping up. The emulsion feels and smells beautiful on my skin and using it has become my favourite pre-bedtime ritual. - Whitney
