Winter is quickly approaching, and this season brings many changes. For one, the weather is cooler. And not only does this mean it’s time to bring out your heavy jacket, but you may also need to update your skincare products.

Cold temperatures bring dry air that can draw moisture away from the skin. This can cause cracked skin and may worsen certain skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. If you haven’t already, consider introducing new products into your winter routine. In this article, we share a few products to keep your skin clear and hydrated all winter long:

 

1. Acne Treatment

Do you suffer from acne? If so, there’s a good chance you will notice more breakouts during the winter. Cold weather dries the skin, which can cause your body to produce more sebum (an oil found on your skin). This increase in oil can lead to breakouts. Because of this, consider integrating acne treatment into your winter regimen.

Many different acne treatments are available, including antibiotics, retinoids, and birth control. Antibiotics help fight acne-causing bacteria. Retinoids are a vitamin-A-based cream applied to the skin to increase cell turnover. And birth control works from the inside out, regulating hormones to reduce acne. While there’s no one-size-fits-all solution for acne, these prescribed treatments are known to be effective solutions.

 

2. Hydrating Moisturizer

As mentioned above, skin typically gets drier in the winter. To help combat that dryness, make sure you’re using a good moisturizer. The right moisturizer will hydrate, brighten, plump, and nourish the skin all winter. Luckily, there are several hydrating moisturizers available that can do the trick.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel is a dermatologist-recommended product. Not only is it hydrating, but this moisturizer is light and contains hyaluronic acid, which can help reduce wrinkles and fine lines. This product, and more like it, are available over-the-counter and can easily be found at your local CVS or Walgreens.

Another moisturizer worth trying is the Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream. Containing peptides, this cream supports and maintains collagen in the skin. It contains proteins and nutrients that can keep your skin supple and smooth.

Speaking of moisturizers, don’t forget the importance of moisturizing your entire body. Like the skin on your face, your body can get extra dry during the winter. Make sure you’re applying a hydrating moisturizer, like CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion.

 

3. Cream-Based Cleanser

Your cleanser can make or break your skin this winter. If you’re using a cleanser that’s too harsh or drying, that could do more harm. Instead, ensure you’re using a cleanser that won’t remove the natural oils from your skin or cause disruptions. Try a cream-based cleanser that will moisturize your skin while also helping you get rid of dirt and bacteria.

A cream-based cleanser is typically thicker and contains more oils. A popular one is the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser, which was designed to clean the skin without over-stripping. This cleanser also contains hyaluronic acid and ceramides to lock in the skin’s moisture and protect its barrier.

The MV Skintherapy Gentle Cream Cleanser is another cream-based option. It’s thick and buttery, going on the skin nicely. This cleanser is also rich in antioxidants, coconut, and essential oils, which can soften the skin and reduce inflammation.

 

4. Vitamin C

It’s no secret vitamin C has many benefits. For one, it’s a potent antioxidant many people reach for when they’re under the weather. But it is also a great way to heal your skin. In addition to being an antioxidant, it’s an anti-inflammatory that can help hydrate your skin.

Vitamin C can reduce the appearance of dark spots by blocking the production of pigment in your skin. It can also fight against wrinkles, improve skin tone and texture, and reduce signs of aging.

It’s important to note that too much Vitamin C can be a bad thing. It can irritate your skin and trigger dryness, which is even more likely to happen during the chilly winter months. This doesn’t mean you should put this product away until summer. Rather, make sure you apply a hydrating moisturizer after applying vitamin C.

Remember that you can also purchase a moisturizer containing vitamin C. For example, Sunday Riley’s CEO Vitamin C Rich Hydration Cream. This product is hydrating but can also brighten the skin and create a healthy-looking complexion.

 

5. Lip Moisturizer

Depending on where you live during the winter, you’ve seen firsthand the impact the weather can have on your lips. Cracked and dry lips are common due to exposure to cold air. Unfortunately, this dryness can be painful and cause sore and scaly lips. That’s why it’s important to introduce a lip moisturizer this winter.

The Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask is a leave-on mask that delivers a boost of moisture and antioxidants to your lips. It’s rich in antioxidants and contains coconut oil and vitamin C to help the skin and deliver moisture while you’re fast asleep. This sleeping mask also has a fresh berry scent that’s not too overpowering, so wearing it through the night shouldn’t be uncomfortable.

Kaplan MD Perfect Pout Lip Mask is a similar product that plumps, exfoliates, and hydrates lips. If you’re interested in a lip mask that doesn’t just hydrate, this one might be perfect.

Cooler weather means sweaters, hot cocoa, and spending the holidays with family and friends. And while winter has a lot to offer, the cold weather can do serious damage to your skin. That’s why it’s important to re-evaluate your regimen this winter; the above products can help.
