Congratulations to winner Philip John Green (Surrey).

Dark nights and the cold winter chill descends, meaning many of us will be reaching for the dial to add a little more heat to the home. But for our skin this can be a big problem, along with snappy winter days, adverse weather and lack of moisture. So now is the time to make sure your regime is working, to ensure you protect your skin throughout the colder months.
