Editor’s picks: 5 winter skincare must-haves
Winter is upon us, and the temps in the Midwest this season are more unpredictable than my hormones, both of which are leaving my skin confused and dry. Thankfully, I have fine-tuned my winter skincare routine to just a few incredibly hydrating, portable, and easy-to-use products. And because I’m no gatekeeper, you can find them all here!
Here are my top 5 winter skincare must-haves:
1. Ren Overnight Recovery Balm
I have combination skin and rosacea, which means even a mild winter can wreak havoc on my face, and this overnight recovery balm by Ren has been an absolute game-changer. I am not great about a regular skin routine, but using this sporadically, my skin glows more and dries out less in even the harshest temps. The best part? It spreads easily and absorbs overnight, so you don’t wake up feeling greasy.
I first discovered this little beauty during a long layover in an airport housing The Body Shop. Since I have used this vitamin e eye cream almost daily on my under eye, lids, and even brows (I’m suspicious it’s helping my Y2K eyebrows grow back, but cannot verify that scientifically at this time). Don’t let the small tube fool you; a little of this gentle cream goes a long way, even on winter eczema.
Chapped lips were once the wintertime plague in our house until I found this overnight lip treatment from Burt’s Bees. It’s light, soothing enough for kiddos, and literally works wonders overnight! I’ve even dabbed it on red skin around my nose after a particularly nasty cold, making it a must this season.
Oh, how I love a good facial mist…and pretty much anything by e.l.f.! This mist is travel-size and refreshes skin immediately, whether you’ve just stepped in from a frigid day or landed after holiday travel. You can use it fresh-faced or over makeup, and its gentle ingredients hydrate all skin types.
Last but not least is this absolute dream cream from Weleda. Light enough to use daily but rich enough to leave your skin feeling nourished and protected, your skin will thank you, I promise.
Don’t let dry or agitated skin bog you down this winter. Pick up one (or all, you deserve it) of these must-haves and love your winter skin!
