5 Face Moisturizers to Combat Dry Winter Skin

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Washington chapter.

Face moisturizers should ideally be part of your skincare routine. Our skin faces a lot of environmental stressors on a daily basis, so making sure that your face is moisturized is the key to achieving a glowing complexion. With cold weather coming up, here are some moisturizers that will effectively combat the feeling of tight, dry skin.

1. Glow Recipe – Watermelon Glow Pink Juice Moisturizer

This moisturizer has a lightweight gel formula and is packed with hyaluronic acid and antioxidants. It smells like watermelon, and it’s great for people with sensitive or acne-prone skin because of its oil-free nature.

2. Kiehl’s – Ultra Facial Cream

This cream is another to-go for the winter months as it absorbs fast and contains emollient-rich squalene that will help retain moisture even on the driest skin.

3. Drunk Elephant  – Lala Retro Whipped Moisturizer

This cream is soothing for irritated skin and effectively calms redness and dryness. It is packed with ceramides to lock in moisture and is also pH balanced for the skin.

4. Laneige – Water Sleeping Mask

This is a gel mask that is rich in moisture. The texture is pudding-like and is a perfect overnight mask that will result in brighter skin in the morning.

5. Tatcha – Water Cream

This moisturizer is infused with the Japanese leopard lily, which purifies the skin while absorbing any excess oil. It is nutrient-rich and melts into the skin fast.
