The Seal & Protect
Living in Montana, the sun is actually pretty intense even when it’s cold. This is the only SPF I’ve found that doesn't smell like a swimming pool or break me out. It feels just like a regular lotion, so I actually enjoy putting it on.
Anthelios Ultra Light Fluid Face Sunscreen SPF 60 - La Roche-Posay | Ulta Beauty
My secret weapon for "slugging." I put a tiny layer of this over my moisturizer at night. You’ll wake up with the softest skin of your life. It’s also a lifesaver for crusty elbows!
Aquaphor Healing Ointment, Advanced Skin Protectant
Winter lips are the worst, right? This is the only balm that actually stays on and doesn't just sit on top of the skin. Plus, it smells like a dream.
Lip Butter Balm - Summer Fridays
Yes, you still need SPF in the winter! This one has a tint that gives you a "lit-from-within" look even when the sun is hiding. Another option of sunscreen that you can try.
Face Sunscreen
The Core Repair
I’m obsessed with this spray for when my skin starts feeling tight and dry halfway through the day. You have to give it a good shake to mix the oil, but it doesn't leave you looking greasy—just really healthy and hydrated. I keep a bottle in my bag f...
D'Alba Piedmont First Spray Serum (50 mL / 1.69 oz) Italian White Truffle, Light-weight Face Moisturizer, All In One Mist, Korean Skin Care
The only cream that actually fixed my compromised skin barrier in 3 days. If you live in a cold climate, this is a non-negotiable.
Barrier+ Triple Lipid-Peptide Face Cream - Skinfix
Don't let the bright pink color fool you—this stuff is serious. It calms down redness instantly. It’s like a fire extinguisher for winter irritation.
The Ordinary Soothing & Barrier Support Serum
The Cleanse & Prep
I switched to this because it feels more like a lotion than a soap. It keeps your natural oils intact while still getting the grime off. It’s a literal hug for your face.
La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Face Cleanser for Dry Skin
I spray this between every skincare step. The glycerin acts like a moisture magnet. Pro-tip: Spray it on while your face is still damp!
HERITAGE STORE Rosewater & Glycerin Mist
The Nightly Recovery
I know everyone talks about this, but it’s for a reason! I put a thick layer on before bed and I never wake up with chapped lips, even when the heater is blasting all night.
LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask with Vitamin C
On Sundays, I do a "moisture reset." These masks are soaked in essence. It’s like a tall glass of water for your face. Perfect after a long week of braving the cold.
Mediheal Sheet Mask Essential HERO 6pk
Okay, not exactly a cream, but this is my #1 winter skincare secret. Keeping the air moist prevents your skin from drying out while you sleep. It’s a total game changer for dry skin.
LEVOIT Classic300S Ultrasonic Smart Humidifier 6L
If your skin is flaking, use this. The Squalane is super light but deeply hydrating. I use this twice a week instead of my regular night cream.
Kiehl's Ultra Facial Overnight Hydrating Mask
