MY WINTER ESSENTIALS. - Alice Hartwell

Winter can be a tough season. Whether it’s the never-ending struggle to stay warm or scant sunlight, I know I’m not alone in pining for the warmth of summer days right now. As we thaw our way into spring, I’ve put together my winter essentials survival guide. Some of my most worn, used and loved items that have gotten me through the last few months.

These UGG Tasman X Boots have been my muddy walk saviour this winter. I believe they’re some of the most practical shoes you could invest in, with a cute lil clog feel. Super comfortable, warm and less heavy-duty than your typical welly boot.

Was it even AW 22/23 if you didn’t wear a longline puffer? This COS Heavyweight Puffer Coat was another winter walk companion I wouldn’t have been without the past few months. Perfect for keeping out the cold and throwing on for an instantly “put together” look.

Weleda Skin Food is a dry skin icon that I’ve never needed more this winter. After a pretty bad dermatitis flare-up, (brought on by the cold weather I think) this moisturiser was one of the only products to calm down my very unhappy skin.

I’m never without a knitted beanie in the winter. Though my go-to is an old hat from Zara, this ARKET beanie is a pretty good dupe. Always a welcome addition for those bad hair days.

I’m always needing to slather on the lip balm during colder months (shout out to my fellow chronically dry-lipped girlies.) There’s been a lot of hype about the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask as of late, and I have to jump on the bandwagon with this one.

While we’re on the subject of dry skin, the MIRROR WATER Smooth Body Oil has been a game changer this season. Serious dolphin skin vibes, I love adding a few drops to my baths for a boost of hydration and nourishment.
