Best new products to save your skin this Winter
Winter has only just descended up on us and it has the team at Kiana Beauty divided. While some of our team are migrating to warmer climates for a well-earned holiday, the rest are loving the opportunity to layer up with scarves and shake up their makeup routine with a warmer palette.
One thing we all agree on is that the combination of cold, wind and central heating can wreak havoc on our skin, leaving it dry and chapped.
Here are some of the new products to provide a little extra TLC to your skin through the cooler weather.
Estee Lauder Advanced Night Micro Cleansing Balm, $68.00
When you think of cult beauty products, Estee Lauder's Advanced Night Repair is right up there.
The range has now gone beyond serums with the addition of cleansers.
The new Advanced Night Micro Cleansing Balm transforms from a balm into a silky cleansing oil then transforms again to a milky emulsion once rinsed with water.
Gentle enough to use everyday, your skin will look and feel clean and conditioned.
Clinique Sweet Pots Sugar Scrub and Lip Balm, $40.00
Does anyone else have dry, chapped lips at the moment?
Those scientists at the Clinique laboratories have been working overtime to come up with the latest product targeting dry lips.
Clinique Sweet Pots Sugar Scrub and Lip Balm is a 2-in-1 product with a gentle sugar-smoothing exfoliator to remove the dry skin on one side, preparing your lips for the tinted moisturising balm on the other.
Available in five flattering shades (04 Sweet Rose is pictured below), it's a sweet indulgence that lips can't resist.
Jurlique Rose Replenishing Ritual Face Care Set, $55.00
Jurlique is synonymous with organic Australian botanicals and this beautifully packaged set contains three of the signature Rose skincare products to pamper, hydrate and nourish dry skin.
Included in this set is the Rose Moisture Plus Moisturising Cleanser to remove makeup and impurities, the Rosewater Balancing Mist to tone, refresh, balance and soothe the skin, and the Rose Moisture Plus Moisturising Cream Mask to deeply hydrate the skin, leaving it smooth and soft.
This little trio makes a wonderful antidote to central heating and your skin will thank you later.
Napoleon Perdis Supreme Eye Cream, $55.00
The skin around our eyes is particularly delicate and vulnerable to the elements.
The Napoleon Perdis Supreme Eye Cream has a luxuriously soft texture and is full of nourishing ingredients such as coconut oil, vitamin E and lanolin plus Murumuru butter from the Amazon.
This Supreme Eye Cream will nourish the eye area, rejuvenate dehydrated skin whilst targeting fine lines and sagging.
Paraben and fragrance-free, this product can be used in the morning and night as well as throughout the day to refresh your under-eye concealer.
Davidoff Horizon Eau de Toilette Spray, from $80.00
Let's not forget the men...
The latest offering from prestige fragrance house Davidoff is Horizon for men. Inspired by the strength of nature, Horizon is a masculine woody aromatic fragrance created with notes of Ginger, Vetiver, Cedarwood and Cocoa Absolut.
For a limited time only, purchase Davidoff Horizon Eau de Toilette Spray 100ml from Kiana Beauty Melbourne and receive a free Horizon Shower Gel 150ml. Limit of one per person, strictly while stocks last.

The 2015 Kiana Beauty Gift Guide for the Modern Man
Men can be notoriously hard to buy presents for, especially if he doesn’t fall into the stereotypical golf/fishing/football category. Does anybody really want a novelty tie, a mug with a “hilarious” catchphrase or yet another polo shirt in a slightly different shade of blue?
We’ve chosen items for the modern man in your life that will make him smell and feel good. Fragrances which are complex and intelligent, just like him. Some men don’t even realise the importance of a great cologne...until they’re given one.
All these items and many more are available online now from Kiana Beauty. All orders come beautifully gift wrapped, ready to give.
