Skin-Saving Winter Hydration Products

Dry winter air can wreak havoc on your skin, causing a scaly, flaky or chapped face if you’re not on top of your moisturizing game. If your skincare routine could use a little bit of an upgrade, here are four products you’ll want to add to your regimen.

Sephora Instant Moisturizer

While you may go to Sephora and be so dazzled by the endless options and eager sales associates that you walk out purchasing one of their top-dollar products, the Sephora-branded products are often just as effective. The Sephora Instant Moisturizer is a non-greasy formula that works up to 24 hours, with no harsh perfumes or chemicals to disturb sensitive skin.

Murad

Murad has an entire line of moisturizers for every skin type, condition or issue you may possibly have. Whether you need oil-free, wrinkle-fighting, firming, shine-reducing, sun protection or complexion-balancing, they’ve got it. Murad has been a trusted skincare brand for years, so you can trust they know their stuff.

Kiehl’s

Kiehl’s is also a popular brand that produces some great moisturizers, in addition to their line-up of other fun skin, hair and body products. One of the more popular moisturizing options is their Ultra Facial Cream, which helps skin absorb moisture from the surrounding environment. This bestseller was even used during the Greenland First Ascent expedition.

Avene Cicalfate Restorative Skin Cream

Avene’s restorative skin cream is for major facial dryness and a myriad of other issues you want fixed now. Gentle enough to be used on sensitive and acne-prone skin, this moisturizer can be used not only on severely dry skin, but also rashes, broken skin and skin healing from recent cosmetic surgeries or procedures. A little goes a long way, so the 1.3-ounce bottle will last you a while.
