9 skincare products for the cold season

By Leah Goldblatt

Winter can be a magical time of year! A season that brings the holidays, snow-filled adventures and time spent with friends and family. However, the shift between the seasons isn’t always so wonderful on our skin. The drop in temperature, changing winds and stress can leave us with dry, cracked and, dare we say, lackluster skin that might have us counting down the days until spring. Fear not, because we have you covered with these 9 skin-saving products that will have your back during your winter wonderland.

GENTLE FACE CLEANSER

La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Cleanser $15 laroche-posay.us

This gentle cleanser works beyond the physical skin barrier to further protect its microbiome. Prebiotic thermal water, ceramide-3 and niacinamide work together to repair the skin’s natural moisture barrier, soothing and locking in hydration in dry skin.

Save your chapped and dehydrated lips with this nourishing vegan treatment. Agave nectar, mangosteen extract, açaí and oat flour soothe and hydrate parched lips. It comes in two shades: Agave (clear) or Buzzed (rose gold pearl).

BODY WASH

FEET
