2020 was a difficult year. This winter, many of us are still sitting at home and wearing masks, but that doesn’t mean that beauty sleeps. Some of us took the chance to experiment with wilder makeup, others perfected their look for those endless Zoom calls, and for many, the new focus has been on self-care, with pampering bath products and multi-step skincare routines. With this unusual winter in mind, these are the products our editors are utterly obsessed with!
