Winter has officially hit Australian shores, and with that comes the accompanying dry, lacklustre skin.
Cue, BD’s first instalment of Beauty 101, a new series highlighting the brands you need on your radar when it comes to all things beauty.
Because the cold weather means our products need to work harder, first in the series is hydration, serving you up 10 products that will keep skin moisturised, all winter long.
