Creams and masks to beat dryness

You may have finished your holiday gorging, but your skin… your skin is still hungry. Feed it with the kind of moisturisers recommended for Arctic explorers with hangovers. Start with Aveda’s new Wedding Masque, which promises that you’ll wake up with soft, glowy “wedding-day skin”, then apply Avène first thing, and that evening, if your skin is still feeling dry, the Glycerin-based Yu-Be from Japan is comforting, and not too greasy.
