As winter begins, cold winds, low humidity, and indoor heating dry out your skin. Your face may feel tight or flaky. Swap lightweight lotions for rich creams and nourishing oils. They protect and strengthen your skin barrier.

Choose creams with ceramides, hyaluronic acid, peptides, squalane, or shea butter. Top picks include CeraVe Moisturizing Cream, Clinique Moisture Surge 100H, Dr. Sheth’s Ceramide & Vitamin C Moisturizer, Plum E-Luminence Deep Moisture Crème, and Avene Tolerance Extreme Cream.
Face oils help seal in hydration. Try The Ordinary Rosehip Oil, Minimalist Squalane, Drunk Elephant Marula Oil, Indie Lee Squalane Oil, or Kama Ayurveda Kumkumadi Thailam.

Swap foaming cleansers for creamy ones like Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser or Laneige Cream Skin Milk Oil Cleanser. Use sleeping masks such as Laneige Water Sleeping Mask or Dot & Key Glow – C Sleep Mask Vitamin C Overnight Radiance Recovery.
For body and lips, use The Body Shop Shea Body Butter, Nivea Cocoa Butter Cream, and Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask. These swaps keep skin soft, hydrated, and glowing all winter.
