While we deal with cold, wet weather outside and hot, dry air inside, the winter months can wreak havoc on our bodies and beauty routines. To combat these far-from-perfect winter weather extremes, this month we picked our favorite lifesaving beauty products for both women and men. With these eight luxurious treats, you’ll look and feel your best all season long.
1. Hydrated Pouts
One of the reasons we’re such fans of the MAC lustre lipstick in Plumful ($15, Dillard’s) is its lip butter-like hydrating formula. Its semi-sheer to semi-opaque coverage also provides a delightful pop of color that isn’t over the top and is perfect for daytime wear.
2. Moisture + Color
We love this lightweight tinted moisturizer from Jouer ($38, Belle & Blush). Perfect for all skin types, it adds a little color – which we certainly need right now – while balancing skin tone and minimizing imperfections to provide a healthy summer-like glow.
3. Well-Rested Eyes
Many of us don’t get our full eight hours of sleep, but we want to look like we did. Enter Origins GinZing refreshing eye cream ($30, Dillard’s). It de-puffs, hydrates and helps reduce those pesky dark circles so we look refreshed and awake.
4. Renewed Complexion
The extraordinary Natura Bisse Diamond Cream ($295, Barbara/Jean) is an anti-aging miracle that regenerates and reenergizes while offering protection from harsh winter temperatures. The decadently rich cream is worth the expense and leaves your skin feeling soft and supple.
5. Healed (Man)Hands
A favorite of our editor’s husband, the Jack Black Industrial Strength Hand Healer ($15, Sephora) works just as hard as he does and helps provide soothing relief to dry, chapped hands. This non-greasy formula dries to a velvety-smooth finish and has a light, fresh scent.
6. Luxurious Hands
This hydrating Lollia shea butter hand creme in Wish ($26, Bella Boutique) is whipped with fragrant infusions and high-quality emollients to create a lusciously moisturizing hand cream that is absolutely heavenly.
7. Radiance Revealed
Clark’s Botanicals’ Intense Radiance Mask ($72, Belle & Blush) deep cleans while reducing the redness that is often a result of winter’s wrath. The white clay formula purifies, moisturizes and brightens.
8. Coif Perfector
A daily must for the editor-in-chief, this Moroccanoil Treatment ($45, Raspberries Salon) is a lightweight oil that conditions hair, tames flyaways and adds shine to dull locks.
