"Here comes the obligatory "colder weather is here, which means..." intro. But seriously, the fall and winter air has officially landed, and just like you swap T-shirts for turtlenecks, your grooming routine should adapt, too. During the summer, we presented the best lightweight moisturizers to keep your skin healthy in the heat (many with SPF). Now, frigid temps call for richer, barrier-repairing formulas that do more than hydrate - the best moisturizers for winter soothe, nourish and restore, too."
"Why we love it: Ursa Major has been on a roll with ultra-hydrating creams (see Golden Hour Recovery), but the newer Alpine Rich Cream has winter moisturizing MVP written all over it. Its whipped, cushiony texture melts in for deep nourishment sans greasiness. True to form, Ursa Major packs it with research-backed botanicals: plant-based ceramides to seal in moisture, cloudberry (rich in vitamins A, C and E) to protect and skullcap extract to soothe and repair the barrier. There's also tremella extract, which can hold up to 500 times its weight in water, for long-lasting hydration. A dime-sized amount is all it takes to keep your skin soft, smooth and restored."
Colder temperatures and lower humidity create drier air that strips the skin's moisture barrier. Winter moisturizers should be richer and more hydrating, combining occlusive and absorbent properties to seal in moisture and support overnight repair. Effective formulas soothe irritation, replenish lipids, and provide long-lasting hydration using ingredients like plant-based ceramides, humectants such as tremella, antioxidants like cloudberry, and calming botanicals such as skullcap. Overnight creams and balms can deliver deep nourishment without greasiness. Small, targeted applications can restore softness, smoothness and barrier function throughout fall and winter.
