Combat Winter Skin-Care Blues With These Moisture-Packed Products
We get it. It's easy to get into skin-care blues in the winter. Not only does skin tend to get dry and flaky, but makeup application also takes a toll. It simply doesn't go on as smoothly. It's not the best scenario, but to beat these unwanted feelings, including skin tightening, we've compiled a list of hydrating products to boost your skin's hydration — and your confidence.
Eczema Honey Skin-Soothing Cream
So long, eczema! Calm and soothe dry, itchy skin with the Eczema Honey Skin-Soothing Cream ($30). This moisturizer is made with a blend of natural ingredients, including 1 percent colloidal oatmeal, which protects the skin, and organic honey, whose job is to hydrate and leave the skin soft and radiant. It also helps relieve minor skin irritation caused by eczema and rashes.
Clarins Double Serum
If you're committed to a five-minute skin-care routine, the Clarins Double Serum ($90) is a 2-in-1 product formulated to target wrinkles and boost radiance. It's packed with 21 plant extracts, including turmeric, teasel extract, organic green banana, and myrothamnus, which combined, aim to do it all. It helps hydrate and smooth, visibly tighten pores, revive radiance, firm skin — the list goes on!
Drunk Elephant B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum
Dryness is no match for the Drunk Elephant B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum ($48). Yes, we're suckers for cute packaging, but aside from that, this product is formulated with pineapple ceramide and pro-vitamin B5, which work in tune to help diminish dryness and the appearance of fine lines. One or two pumps of this product sets you up for a full day of hydration.
bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream
Makeup on top of dry, flaky skin is not a pretty look, but the bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream ($34) doesn't carry the word "rescue" in its name for no reason. This tinted moisturizer will save your skin as it helps to boost hydration by 215 percent with hyaluronic acid. It contains buildable sheer-to-light coverage and gives a naturally dewy, healthy glow.
Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Eye Base Primer & Moisturizer
Oh, the delicate eye area. Undereyes can suffer if not treated appropriately in the winter, but the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Eye Base Primer & Moisturizer ($56) ensures yours won't have to. Hyaluronic acid, shea butter, and vitamins A, B3, B12, and C all work in tandem to deliver long-term moisture and a concealer-gripping finish.
ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm
When it comes to face wash, cleansing balms are notably more moisturizing than other cleansers. Because they're mostly made of a combination of hydrating ingredients such as butters, they tend to help in keeping the skin hydrated. The ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm ($64) is a 3-in-1 that removes makeup like an oil, nourishes like a balm, and hydrates like a cleansing milk. You'll be left glowing after only just cleansing.
Laura Mercier Pure Canvas Primer Hydrating
Adding primer to your makeup routine isn't always feasible (hey, it's OK if you wanna snooze), but this is a step you won't want to miss with the Laura Mercier Pure Canvas Primer Hydrating ($40). Think of it as your last skin-care step right before applying your favorite tinted moisturizer or foundation. Besides ensuring your makeup stays put, this primer feels like a lightweight moisturizer, and it conditions skin over time.
TooFaced Hangover Pillow Balm Ultra-Hydrating Lip Treatment
Lips have the most delicate skin on the face, which is why they're often the first to get dry during the winter months. The TooFaced Hangover Pillow Balm Ultra-Hydrating Lip Treatment ($23) creates a barrier that prevents lips from drying out, in addition to leaving lips soft, smooth, and plumped. It's available in five juicy tints, including Watermelon Kiss, Banana, and Cocoa Kiss.
Indie Lee Squalane Facial Oil
A few drops of the Indie Lee Squalane Facial Oil ($34) are enough to boost moisture and reduce tightening. It works for all skin types, including oily, and you can even mix it with your foundation for a dewy (never greasy) glow.
TULA 24-7 Moisture Hydrating Day & Night Cream
No skin-care routine is complete without moisturizer, and the TULA 24-7 Moisture Hydrating Day & Night Cream ($52) is a high-qualifying candidate for skinimalists. All you need is one holy grail product to deliver moisture both day and night, and this one hydrates, nourishes, smoothes, and evens the look of skin tone.
