Best New Winter Skin-Care Products 2020
45 New Skin-Care Products Launching This Winter That You Need to Try ASAP
As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.
We don't know who needs to hear this, but you should be switching up your beauty products with the seasons to address various seasonal skin-care woes. In the summer, you might need lighter formulas that reduce oil and won't feel heavy, but in the winter, those lightweight products just won't cut it in keeping your skin protected from the harsh temperature outside.
Aside from that, the wintertime is also great for trying new chemical exfoliants and retinol products to address hyperpigmentation and sun damage because you won't be in the sun as much. (But with that said, you most definitely still need sunscreen in spring, and summer, and fall.)
To help you finish out the year with your best skin yet (because at the very least, we want that to go right in 2020), we rounded up the best new winter skin-care products to revamp your routine, ahead.
