As the temperatures drop and the air gets drier, your skin and senses deserve a little extra TLC. Winter has a way of stealing moisture from the skin and dulling that usual glow, but it doesn't have to.
This season, it's all about restoring radiance and wrapping yourself in warmth, starting with two essentials: the new Vaseline Cera-Glow range and the timeless Chanel Chance perfume.
Skin First: Lock In That Winter Glow
Dry, flaky skin is one of winter's most unwelcome guests. That's where the new Vaseline Cera-Glow range steps in.

Infused with ceramides and Vaseline Jelly, this range is designed to deeply hydrate while strengthening the skin's moisture barrier. Unlike heavier winter creams that can feel greasy, Cera-Glow absorbs beautifully and leaves your skin soft, supple, and luminous.
Instead of just bringing the viral Vaseline Cocoa Radiant Gel Oil to Mzansi, they have made one specifically for South African skin.
Containing replenishing oil and natural oils (Vit E and almond oil) for soft and radiant skin. In addition, it is uniquely powered by pro-ceramides for a stronger skin barrier and a healthy glow.
It's the perfect daily dose of glow your winter skin craves and the subtle, clean scent means it won't clash with your signature fragrance.
Fragrance Finish
Once your skin is moisturised, don't forget the finishing touch: a spritz of Chanel Chance. This elegant, floral fragrance adds a playful sophistication to your winter beauty routine.

With notes of pink pepper, jasmine, and patchouli, Chanel Chance is vibrant but not overpowering, making it ideal for those who love to smell good without being too loud.
"The scent lingers gently on scarves and sweaters, leaving a trail of allure wherever you go," said Olivier Polge Chanel In-House Perfumer-Creator
"The original idea behind Chance was a state of mind that we interpreted in very different styles.
A new colour in the Chance palette. After pink, green, yellow and orange comes purple. The shade of magic and lightness tinged with mystery and nobility. Rebellious energy conceals depth and dazzling power behind its capers. This new creation by Polge is a marvel of paradoxes.
Pro Tip: For a longer-lasting fragrance, apply your fragrance to your pulse points right after moisturising. Hydrated skin holds the scent better, so this combo is more than just a luxury, it's smart layering.

Princess Charlene's style transformation turns heads at Prince Albert's 20-year jubilee
Princess Charlene of Monaco dazzled in a vibrant pink lace gown by Oscar de la Rentaat Prince Albert II's 20-year jubilee. Image: Instagram Princess Charlene of Monaco embraced a more romantic and daring side of her style recently, stepping out in a vivid pink lace gown by Oscar de la Renta to mark Prince Albert II's 20 years on the throne. Her fashion-forward look stood out during the high-profile celebration at the Place du Palais, where Monaco's royals mingled with the public in a rare, emotive family gathering. While the House of Grimaldi showed up in full force, it was Charlene who dominated the style conversation. Her Barbie pink outfit, with its soft belt and asymmetrical floral lace hem, offered a masterclass in royal elegance. A far cry from the power suits she has often favoured, this look was a clear nod to her recent fashion evolution, and a bold embrace of femininity. The celebration came just days after Charlene surprised the principality with an emotional tribute to her husband, earning public praise for her renewed visibility and grace in royal duties. In a touching moment during the event, Prince Albert, known for his formal demeanour, showed rare public affection by embracing their son, Prince Jacques, and kissing Charlene after delivering a heartfelt speech. He thanked his family for their 'wonderful' contributions over the past two decades. While comparisons to Princess Grace are inevitable, Charlene has steadily carved out a modern identity of her own. Speaking to Tatler, she acknowledged that adapting to royal life, and its wardrobe, didn't happen overnight. 'As I spend more time in Monaco, I have developed an understanding of fashion. 'But coming into myself has taken time. Because I've got broad shoulders, clean, simple, elegant lines suit me best,' she said. Over the years, Charlene has balanced formality with individuality, evolving from streamlined silhouettes into more experimental, often softer pieces. This latest appearance not only reaffirms her growing comfort in the royal spotlight but also signals her increasing influence as a fashion figure within the European aristocracy. In true Monégasque style, the day was also filled with heartfelt public interactions. The Princess was seen cooing over a newborn baby in the crowd, sharing a gentle and very human moment that echoed her softer fashion choice. Charlene's style shift reflects a broader change in her royal role, from the reserved, sometimes distant figure of past years to a more confident, approachable presence at the heart of Monaco's royal family.
