Front-Runners for Skincare in Winter

Winter is harsh on skin, with dry air, low humidity, and indoor heating draining moisture. To maintain healthy and radiant skin, these are the top contenders for winter skincare:

1. Hydrating Cleansers:
Replace foaming or gel cleansers with cream or oil-based ones to avoid stripping your skin.

CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser (gentle and non-stripping)
La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Cleanser

2. Rich Moisturizers:
Select a rich, hydrating moisturizer to seal in moisture.

Weleda Skin Food (extra-rich for extremely dry skin)
Drunk Elephant Lala Retro Whipped Cream
First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream

3. Facial Oils:
A few drops of oil seal in moisture and give the skin extra nutrition.

The Ordinary 100% Plant-Derived Squalane
Sunday Riley Juno Antioxidant + Superfood Face Oil

4. Hydrating Serums:

Humectant serums like hyaluronic acid attract moisture into the skin.

The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5
Vichy Mineral 89 Hyaluronic Acid Serum

5. Lip Balms:
Keep cracks at bay with an ultra-nourishing lip balm.

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask
Aquaphor Healing Ointment

6. Body Butters & Lotions:
Eucerin Advanced Repair Lotion
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Body Gel Cream
The Body Shop Shea Body Butter

7. Sunscreen (Even in Winter, Yes!):
UV rays are equally potent, even on chilly days.
