Gentle Cleansing & Prep
Start with cleansers and prep that remove the day without stripping moisture, so the rest of your routine can actually sink in.
I reach for this on cold mornings because it cleans without that tight, stripped feeling. It leaves my skin calm and ready for serum and moisturizer, which is exactly what I want in winter.
Kiehl's Since 1851 Ultra Facial Barrier-Hydrating Cleanser
I love this for winter because it feels gentle and creamy, not squeaky-clean. It takes off sunscreen and the day while keeping my skin soft and calm.
Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Facial Cleanser
I use this first on cold evenings to melt off makeup and sunscreen without drying my skin. It rinses clean and leaves a soft base for my cleanser and moisturizer.
Take the Day Off™ Cleansing Balm Makeup Remover
Hydration & Barrier Repair
This is the heart of winter skincare: layers that lock in water and support your skin barrier against cold and wind.
This is my winter safety net — rich enough for cold days, but it still sinks in and leaves a soft, comfortable glow, not a greasy film.
Kiehl's Since 1851 Ultra Facial Cream
When my skin feels raw from cold wind, I smooth this on as a barrier hug. It calms tightness fast and keeps makeup from catching on dry patches.
First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream (Women)
I layer this on damp skin in winter so hydration is locked in before my cream. It plumps up dry patches and makes my whole routine work better.
The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Hydrating Serum
I keep this mini on hand for the coldest days, when my skin needs a richer layer. It feels comforting and helps my skin bounce back overnight.

Glow Serums & Treatments
Targeted serums and gentle treatments to bring back brightness, even out tone and keep that healthy glow through winter.
I use this a few times a week to even out my tone and bring back brightness in winter. It layers well under moisturizer without feeling heavy.
1.0 oz Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Serum for Oily Skin
I love this for a dewy, lit-from-within finish on dull winter days. It gives instant glow without feeling sticky, and it layers beautifully under cream.
Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops Serum
I use this in the morning for a brighter, more awake look on grey winter days. It wakes up dull skin and pairs well with moisturizer and SPF.
Banana Bright 15% Vitamin C Serum - OLEHENRIKSEN
I use this sparingly at night when my skin looks dull, then follow with a rich cream. It helps smooth texture so my morning glow looks more even.
T.L.C. Framboos™ Glycolic Resurfacing Night Serum
Lips, Eyes & Overnight Care
Small areas show winter first, so give lips, eyes and overnight skin extra comfort while you sleep.
I smooth this on before bed in winter and wake up to softer, more comfortable lips. It is my rescue step on cold, dry nights.
Lip Sleeping Mask - LANEIGE
I tap this gently around my eyes on cold mornings when I look tired. It feels rich and comforting without being heavy under makeup.

I use this as my last step on cold nights, like a drink of water for my skin. I wake up looking rested, hydrated and glowing.
LANEIGE Water Sleeping Mask for Moisture Barrier
Body, Hands & Everyday SPF
Glow should not stop at your face — finish with body hydration, hand care and daily SPF, even on cloudy winter days.
I use this all over after a shower in winter, when my skin feels tight. It keeps my body soft and comfortable under layers all day.
Creme de Corps Refillable Body Lotion with Cocoa Butter
I keep this in my bag all winter for dry hands after washing. It absorbs fast and leaves my hands soft, not sticky.
