Subzero temperatures, heavy snowfall and high winds are the hallmarks of a classic winter. And unfortunately, all three factor into our seasonal skin care struggles too. Braving a cold and airy day usually results in redness, irritation and dryness, even if you don’t have overly problematic skin.
We’ve all had those annoying flaky spots on the corner of our noses. So, whether we like it or not, now is the time to up our moisture intake with a formula that feels like a warm and hydrating blanket for the skin. Ahead are the thickest and creamiest moisturizers for every budget. Your skin will thank you.
