items February is when winter damage finally shows up. Dryness, flakes, redness, texture, lips that won’t recover. These are the exact things I use to get my face back on track before spring.

Dry, Tight, Flaky Skin
This is for when your face feels uncomfortable, not just dry. Barrier repair, real moisture, and products I reach for when my skin feels tight, itchy, or visibly flaking from winter.
This is what I reach for when my skin feels fragile or visibly stressed. It calms everything down fast and makes my face feel protected instead of exposed.
Cicaplast Balm B5+ Soothing Therapeutic Multi-Purpose Cream
I love this because it never irritates my skin and actually makes dryness stop instead of temporarily masking it. When my face is picky, this always works.
Vanicream Moisturizing Skin Cream Pump 16oz
This is my go-to when my skin is irritated and nothing “pretty” feels right. It helps everything settle and look more normal again.
Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream
I love this because it removes makeup without leaving my skin tight or stripped, which matters a lot in winter. My face always feels softer and calmer after I use it, not squeaky or irritated, and that alone makes it worth it when my skin is already ...

Lips That Are Past the Point of Chapstick
If regular lip balm isn’t touching it anymore, start here. These are the things I use when my lips are cracked, painful, or refusing to recover overnight.
This is my go-to when lips are painfully dry or peeling. It doesn’t just feel good, it actively helps lips recover overnight. In February, that matters more than anything pretty or tinted.
Cicalfate+ LIPS Restorative Lip Balm
When winter has done a number on my lips, this is my go-to. It feels soothing on contact and helps protect against further dryness, so lips actually hold moisture instead of evaporating it right away.
Cicaplast Lips Hydration Restore Lip Balm
When winter makes my lips feel flaky and tight, this is what I use at night. I wake up with lips that are softer and visibly smoother instead of just coated.
Lip Sleeping Mask Nourish & Hydrate
This isn’t a balm. This is what I use when my lips look rough or flaky and no amount of moisture is making them look smoother. Gently exfoliating with this actually removes the dead skin so everything I put on afterward absorbs better and makes lips ...
Brooklyn Botany Lip Scrub Exfoliator 1 oz
Texture, Redness, “Why Does My Skin Look Like This”
February skin is reactive. This section is about calming visible redness, smoothing texture, and fixing that uneven, irritated look without making things worse.
I reach for this when my skin looks flushed or irritated. It calms redness visibly without stripping or frustrating sensitive skin.
La Roche Posay Rosaliac Ar Intense Serum
This sounds simple, but it genuinely soothes overworked, tight winter skin. I spray it mid-routine or whenever irritation flares.
Avène Thermal Spring Water
I like slow-acting but visibly calming oils when texture looks uneven. It balances discomfort without harsh actives.
100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil
Under-Eyes That Need Intervention
This is for mornings when you look more tired than you feel. Products and tools that make a noticeable difference fast, not subtle, long-game eye care.
This is my safe option when my under-eyes are dry or sensitive. It hydrates without puffiness and doesn’t irritate at all.
