BeliefPretty soon, we'll all be cranking up the heat and snuggling underneath our coziest throw blankets. But the impending chilly weather means our skin will likely start to feel the effects of cold, dry air.
That means you'll need to update your fall-to-winter skincare routine to include the thickest, most hydrating products. Don't worry, I found them all for you below, and many already have designated spots in my routine (so I can vouch for them).
Naturally, you need the richest moisturizers and serums you can find to combat skin-chapping wind and temps. I will always repurchase the French girl-favorite moisturizer from Embryolisse as well as the always-popular COSRX snail mucin serum. I like to top off my routine with a hydrating lip balm to avoid a chapped pout.
You'll still need to exfoliate, since that's key to preventing peeling and flakiness that can occur in cold, dry weather. Our pick are the JiYu toning pads— a viral K-beauty product that TikTok can't get enough of.
Don't forget about your body! If you want to keep your skin baby-soft and prevent cracked elbows and knees, you'll need to layer a luxurious lotion atop a hydration-quenching body oil. Shop our must haves for glowy, hydrated skin below!
