New in beauty: The December Edit

When the colder weather hits, you still need to exfoliate but scrubs can sometimes be too harsh. Newly launched at lookfantastic is Danish skincare brand Ecooking, and we're loving their Peeling Mask for December. It contains a cocktail of acids including salicylic, lactic and glycolic, which help to slough away dead skin cells and reveal a smooth and luminous complexion. They're a beautiful skin and bodycare brand; shop their full collection here.

We are so excited to announce that Neal's Yard has landed at lookfantastic, and for the winter months we can't get enough of their Rejuvenating Frankincense Facial Oil. It's packed with a blend of nourishing botanical oils, including evening primrose, macadamia and frankincense, and has been clinically proven to keep the skin moisturised for up to 12 hours; perfect for when the weather turns frosty.

Worth an amazing £54 and retailing for just £36, the supersize version of the bestselling Glycol Lactic Radiance Renewal Mask from REN makes the perfect Christmas gift for anyone who loves skincare. Rich in AHA's such as citric, lactic and glycolic, the mask gently sloughs away dull and dead skin cells to reveal a smooth complexion underneath. It's perfect if you feel your complexion looks a little fatigued and needs a brightening boost coming into winter.

If you feel your hair has been suffering since the sudden drop in temperature, we can guarantee you will love Grow Gorgeous's Intensely Gorgeous Gift Set. Included are the bestselling Hair Density Shampoo and Conditioner, alongside the Intense Hair Growth Serum and Intense Thickening Hair and Scalp Mask. Together, they make the best routine against damage and dehydration during the winter months. Plus, like all Grow Gorgeous products, they smell beautiful.

This time of year can be particularly stressful and exhausting, and sometimes this can result in a severe lack of sleep and energy. Make bedtime as peaceful as possible with the newly launched Sleep Dharma Pillow Mist from holistic brand Mauli Rituals. Inspired by traditional blessing rituals, the mist contains a soothing blend of lavender, chamomile and bergamot. It's also free from chemical nasties and is 100% natural and vegan-friendly.

Dermalogica's Skin Smoothing Cream isn't a new beauty product but they have recently reformulated it with unique Active HydraMesh Technology™ to deliver 48-hour hydration. Enriched with aloe gel, arnica, cucumber, grape seed extract and Vitamin C, the lightweight cream delivers incredible moisture into the skin without feeling heavy or thick. It's one of our all-time favourites and this reformulation is magically even better.
