The Best Winter Skincare Items

January 6, 2022

During the winter the cold harsh air is known to dry your skin out. The cold temperatures, constant exposure to indoor heat, and dry air strip your healthy skin of essential oils and suck out the skin’s moisture. In order to maintain healthy skin, you need to add some skincare products that will help your skin during the winter. According to my dermatologist, these are some recommended items to add to your winter skincare routine.

THEN I MET YOU Living Cleansing Balm $38.00

In the wintertime, it is recommended that you switch your facial cleansers that are typically foamy or bubbly to a balm, oil, or cream-based cleanser. Foaming cleansers contain sulfates that can be more drying than other cleaners that can dry out your skin.

Tula So Polished Exfoliating Sugar Face Scrub $36

Exfoliating is the best way to get rid of dead skin caused by the dry winter air and create glowing skin. Although exfoliating is good you shouldn’t overdo it and only exfoliate at least twice a week.

CETAPHIL Moisturizing Cream $17

Moisturizing is key and switching from a lotion-based to a cream-based moisturizer will help hydrate your skin during the wintertime. Skin creams are lightweight and will help level out your skin.

Glossier, Invisible Shield daily sunscreen $25

Yes, you still need tower sunscreen during the winter. Even though the sun’s rays aren’t beaming down on you doesn’t mean that it isn’t damaging our skin. The sun can still cause damage to your skin when its cold and cloudy.

LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask $22

A lot of people suffer from dry and chapped lips during the wintertime. The best way to give your lips the special care they need is with a lip mask. I love the Laneige Lip Maks and it leaves your lips feeling soft. Before you use a lip mask you should exfoliate your lips. The Bert’s Bees Lip Exfoliator will help get rid of dead skin and create a smooth surface.

LANEIGE Water Sleeping Mask with Squalane $29

Incorporating an overnight mask into your winter skincare routine can also help your skin’s hydration levels. Your skin’s hydration levels start to decline throughout the day and using overnight maks will help.
