Even though winter is well and truly here, my skin wouldn't know the cold shift is trying to wreak havoc on it, thanks to some powerhouse products that have landed across my desk.
I've been trialling some A+ innovations in hydration and nourishment, not to mention a stand out new fragrance, could it be my next signature?
Below, I have rounded up my latest six favourites worth sharing.
Keep reading to find out why these offerings have made permanent placement in my routine this season.
BIODERMA x Victoria Beckham Sensibio H2O is a limited-edition version of my favourite micellar water – we're talking a 10-year love affair I've had with this product. This collab sees Victoria Beckham, AKA the one and only Posh Spice, team up with BIODERMA to bring a chic new look to the cult classic, and VB's personal favourite, Sensibio H2O. Nothing removes my makeup (stubborn waterproof mascara and all) quicker and more gently than this. What can I say, Victoria and I have great taste.

Emma Lewisham Sunceutical SPF 50 Mineral Glow Serum first debuted at Australian Fashion Week in May, and it's now available on counter. A hybrid sunscreen and glow serum, it provides SPF 50 UVA and UVB protection, along with glowing radiance. It's weightless and blends oh so easily into the skin. Think bronzing drops with sun protection – it's a big yes from me.
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes and do not apply on broken or damaged skin. Avoid prolonged exposure to damaging UV rays. Always wear protective clothing, a hat and eyewear when exposed to the sun – AUST L 461936.

Breeze Balm Revival Eye Masks are the perfect antidote to my dehydrated, tired eye area. These hydrogel masks promise to be hydrating, and boy, the claim doesn't lie. I have never used eye masks that are this nourishing before – packed with brightening, cooling and anti-wrinkle serum that immediately feels like they've gone to work. My eye area is left feeling smooth, de-puffed, and brighter. But the best part? After the 10 - 20 minute application you can massage the remaining serum into the skin, leaving you feeling like you've just had a big glass of water.

Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex is one of those products that I actually miss when it's not in my rotation, so when a new bottle landed on my desk I let out an audible squeal. I know it's a night serum, but I have to admit I love applying this in the morning as well. It preps my skin for makeup like nothing else, leaving my complexion plump and nourished. It is a hero product in the skincare world for good reason, and it has my stamp of approval too.

MERIT Retrospect L'Extrait de Parfum is MERIT's first foray into fragrance, and they nailed it. I was lucky enough to receive the travel size before launch and I have been obsessed ever since. The soft, clean fragrance has a floral centre before settling into a base of musk, vanilla, and moss. It's warm and inviting without being overpowering and is one of those special scents that people stop to ask what you're wearing. Time to add the full size 30mL to cart, I think.

Skin Physics Discolouration Correcting Serum couldn't have been released at a better time. After having a baby, my skin has been prone to melasma and sunspots and it's been an area I have been trying to improve – and well, this new offering targets all that and more. The high-performance serum is formulated with 3% tranexamic acid, 2% alpha-arbutin, and 5% niacinamide to reduce dark spots, pigmentation, and uneven skin tone. The serum is one of three new releases from the brand, so if you're after anti-ageing, repairing or correcting, Skin Physics has something for you.
