There are a lot of things I dislike about winter: it gets dark too soon, less outdoor time … and dry, cracked skin. These are my go-tos to soothe and nourish my skin.

Face
This face moisturizer (which I use both morning and night in the winter), leaves my skin soooo soft and hydrated!
Barrier+ Triple Lipid-Peptide Face Cream - Skinfix
Squalane gives you hydration without clogging pores. It mimics the skin’s natural lipid layer. I add it to the extra dry parts of my face. Pro tip: you can use it on your dry winter hair too!
100% Plant-Derived Squalane - The Ordinary
Hands
Anyone else get dry, cracked hands in the winter? 🙋🏻♀️ You’re going to want to stick this in your purse this winter to keep your hands soothed and moisturized. For $4.99, it’s a no brainer.
Trader Joe’s Ultra Moisturizing Hand Cream
Idk how this stuff is not viral. I’ve been using it since I was a kid. In the winter, I put it on my hands before bed. For even more moisture lock in: put socks or gloves on over your bag balm lathered hands, and wake up with the smoothest happiest h...
Bag Balm Vermont Original Skin Moisturizer 4oz
Another great option to use overnight on your hands. (Some people use it on their face overnight but I’m too acne prone!)
CeraVe Healing Ointment
Don’t forget your cuticles! They get equally and dry and rough in the winter.
Vitamin E Nail & Cuticle Oil - Sally Hansen
Body
I officially became a dry brush convert last winter. The exfoliation is just a level you can’t get with body scrub alone.
Exfoliating Dry Brush for Sensitive Skin - Kitsch
physical + AHA exfoliation ✨
Start with dry brush, then body polish, followed by body oil (keep your skin damp after your shower!), and body butter.
Undaria Cleansing Body Polish - OSEA
This smells sooo good! My skin gets so dry and flaky in the winter. Layering this underneath the Osea body butter is the only thing that keeps my skin moisturized!
5.0 oz Undaria Algae Body Oil - OSEA
Again, this scent is unreal! Layer this over their body oil before bed and you’ll wake up with silky smooth skin.
