Well, we’ve officially switched on the heating at Boo Boo HQ! We were holding off for as long as we could but when Corinna’s teeth actually started chattering as she was talking to a customer the other day we knew we had to give in.

The trouble is, central heating brings with it its own problems (and not just ridiculous heating bills!!). Even if your skin’s not naturally dry, you’ll find that in the colder months it still can become parched. This is because warm air holds more moisture than cold air, so, if you heat up the air without adding moisture it sucks it out of your skin to compensate – so, central heating is the worst culprit.
