As the temperatures drop, the air gets dry, leaving our skin screaming for thick creams and lotions to help it maintain moisture. If you’re looking for ways to keep your skin smooth this winter, check out some of our favorite products for the face, hands, and body. The elements are no match for our winter skin picks.
Jo Malone London Vitamin E Body Treatment Scrub
This is my once-a-month go-to for great-looking skin all year long. Gently massage the scrub into your skin along with your favorite body wash, and then rinse. Then let the sugar and Vitamin E scrub away the dead skin cells.
CeraVe Moisturizing Cream
Moisturizers are a big part of my winter skin routine, and CeraVe Moisturizing Cream is the OG of moisturizers. After a shower, it’s my go-to for keeping my skin hydrated all day long. CeraVe is fragrance-free and safe for sensitive skin.
Buttah Luxe Lip Balm
When it comes to protecting my lips from the cold, dry air, there’s nothing better than Buttah. Their Luxe Lip Balm is made with African shea butter, cocoa butter, and mango butter, which smells and feels great on my lips.
Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream
I wash my hands a lot, which leaves them especially dry in the winter months. That’s why I keep a tube of Neutrogena’s Norwegian Formula Hand Cream in my bag at all times. Just a little goes a long way in making my hands feel smooth when they need a little TLC.
Burt’s Bees Conditioning Lip Scrub
Your lips don’t have oil glands like the rest of your skin, making them more likely to become dry and damaged during the winter months. This conditioning lip scrub provides much-needed relief to dry, chapped lips. Honey crystals help scrub away dead skin cells, while beeswax adds moisture.
Vaseline Illuminate Me Whipped Body Butter
Glycerin, shea butter, and vaseline jelly are the key ingredients in this lush whipped body butter made with Black women in mind. Just a little keeps your skin soft all day long. And the light shimmer and fragrance are like the heavenly icing on the cake.
