Itās the most wonderful time of the year… well, at least in terms of holiday spirit. But for your skin, the cold temperatures and reduced humidity can bring some serious dryness. Iām sure many of us have found ourselves in the winter months scrolling through the past summerās photos, sighing longingly at how effortlessly radiant our skin looked back then and wishing it would come back. But hereās the good news: with the right products, it absolutely can! āTis the season to switch up your standard skincare routine for one that will protect your skin against the cold, lock in essential moisture, and glow like itās July. So without further ado, letās get into some of our favorite wintertime products!
Sunscreen
Yes, we know, wearing sunscreen during winter sounds a little bit crazy. However, according to dermatologists, while the sunās rays may not feel as strong, its ultraviolet (UV) rays continue to break down your skin cells at a faster rate regardless.
So donāt skip out on this important step! The sunscreen from Beauty of Joseon is a popular favorite, partly due to its lightweight formula that doesnāt leave a white overcast, a serious pet peeve for us.
Moisturizer
Anybody can experience dryness in the winter, regardless of skin type. Thatās why it can be beneficial to swap your regular moisturizer for one with a thicker consistency that will protect your skin better during this time. Drunk Elephantās āLala Retro Whipped Moisturizer With Ceramidesā is 100% worth the hype for this one!
Serum
Serums are basically the holy grail for protecting the skinās barrier, making them essential for cold winter months. This best-selling serum from the Ordinary is designed to soothe irritation and rebuild damaged skin barriers, and best of all, works for all skin types!
Lip Mask
Thereās nothing we hate more than chapped lips, and when the snow starts falling it gets even worse. Try this overnight lip sleeping mask from Laneige with a delicious vanilla scent. Your lips will thank you!
