Multi-tasking beauty creams are an absolute must this season. They’ve been specifically designed to nourish any bit of skin that might be feeling tight, dry or uncomfortable, especially during a change of seasons. This is our pick of the best buys right now:

Epi-max Ultra Ointment, R64,99 for 40g, is a brilliant solution when you need to calm aching cuticles.
