My skin is starved for moisture on a good day. And frankly, this winter, well, we haven't had many “good days.” The below-freezing temperatures, blasting radiators, and a trip to Aspen have left my skin beyond dehydrated and flaky. Yet, I am still determined to have glassy, glowy, plump-as-possible skin. Thankfully, I test products for a living and am fairly well-versed in hydrating skincare that genuinely penetrates deep into my dermis for long-lasting moisture.
The key for me is to skip harsh actives (I may whip out a gentle exfoliant once a week—max), and flood my face with hyaluronic acid, ceramides, peptides, and glycerin. But I’ve found major success in adding the fun “extras” into my routine this time of year. It’s paying attention to hard-working eye creams, sheet masks, lip balms, and face mists that have kept my face looking fresh and rosy. My go-tos, ahead.
