How To Find The Best Moisturizer For Dry Skin During Winter Months

The right moisturizer can help protect your skin from dry winter air, while also rehydrating skin and making it look and feel smoother and healthier.

So, which moisturizer is right for you?

Oily skin: even if you have oily skin, you still need a good daily moisturizer because dry skin is more prone to acne so you don't want your oily skin to get dry. Moisturizers that won't clog your pores are the best choice. Choose a lighter, hydrating lotion, like our Goji Berry and Argan Cream, over thicker, more intense creams that can contribute to acne.

Normal skin: skin that is not overly dry or oily generally has a natural moisture balance but can still be vulnerable to harsh winter conditions. A light, water-based moisturizer like our Luminescent Pearl Cream is a good choice for you to prevent skin from becoming too dry or greasy.

Sensitive skin: if you have sensitive skin, winter can be an especially difficult time. Colder, dryer weather works against your skin making existing skin conditions and irritations even worse. Choose a moisturizer that contains soothing ingredients like aloe and stay away from harsh fragrances.

Mature skin: is naturally drier so made worse by dry, winter air. Gentle exfoliants like our Hibiscus and Rosehip Petal Foaming Scrub with its antioxidants and jojoba esters will help remove the top layer of dead skin cells and hold in your skin's moisture. And then use a serum or cream with anti-aging ingredients like our Yin Balancing Facial Serum.
