As the leaves start to change color and the temperatures dip, we all know the struggle is real when it comes to keeping our skin hydrating and glowing during these colder months. Nothing hits different than an everything shower after a long day, cozied up in bed with clean sheets, shaved legs, and the most divine-smelling lotion that will have you feeling like a dream. Nobody wants to deal with the feeling of dry, cracked skin. It’s just not a look. So, in the spirit of the cozy season, let’s chat about five absolute must-haves that will will have your face and body feeling soft and smelling good all winter long. Let’s dive in!
First up, my personal favorite, is the Eos Shea Better Moisture Body Lotion. I got put on by this product by Leah Kateb from Love Island, and it has worked wonders. Enriched with shea butter and a light vanilla scent, it melts into your skin like a warm hug. It’s ultra-hydrating, leaving your skin feeling softer as ever. The scent itself is subtly sweet, making it perfect to layer under your favorite fall fragrance. You’ll be smelling like the perfect vanilla bean in no time. Trust me, your skin will thank you!
As soon as I saw the marketing drop all over Rhode Skin’s TikTok for a brand new face barrier restore cream, I had to get my hands on it. Let me be real when I say this stuff is worth the hype and more! Our faces deserve just as much love as our bodies when it comes to hydration, so this is one product that does all of that and more. This little wonder acts like a fortress against the harsh winter elements. Packed with ceramides and squalane (fancy for good ingredients), it creates a moisture barrier that keeps your skin plump and happy. It’s the ultimate face cream, and it glides on like butter. Seriously, you’ll feel like you’re giving your face a spa treatment every day - but in bottle form.
Want to bring the glow even when the sun is hiding? Hempz Glow Getter Moisturizer (with shimmer, of course) has entered the chat. Not only does this beauty hydrate your skin, but it also gives you that little glow from within. This herbal formula nourishes your skin while the shimmer adds that glam touch, making it perfect for holiday parties or just feeling fabulous during a bedrot day. Think of it as your secret weapon for that “I woke up like this” look, even when there’s no sun in sight!
If you haven’t experienced the magic of anything from the Sol de Janeiro line, this is your sign to let this product be your first! Their Delícia Drench™ Body Butter is a game-changer for dry skin. It’s infused with nourishing oils and delivers intense hydration without feeling greasy. And the scent? Pure heaven. It’s the perfect mix of vanilla cookie butter, but with some hints of lavender to match its indigo packaging. A little goes a long way with this stuff, and it lasts me for months at a time. What more could you ask for?
Last but definitely not least, we have the La Roche Posay Double Repair Moisturizer. This gem is a dermatologist favorite, and for good reason. It’s formulated with prebiotic thermal water and ceramides, making it perfect for keeping your skin barrier intact during those cold months. Lightweight yet deeply hydrating, it’s the ideal base for your makeup or can be worn solo for that fresh-faced look. You skin will drink it up with even the tiniest amount!
