It’s that time of the year again; fuzzy jackets and boots come out, hot coffee takes a permanent spot on our table, while the air outside gets dry and cold. The result is dry, dull, and irritated skin that needs extra TLC and a few changes in the regular skincare routine. Case in point: it’s the right time to try product layering and switching to rich, hydrating and heavier formulations. Here are some of the products that you must try in winters: 

Products Recommendations for Winters 

L’Occitane Immortelle Divine Youth Oil

Winters are the perfect time to switch to rich face oils. Use it as the last step in your nighttime skincare routine and let it seal the goodness of all the products you’ve layered under it. Immortelle Divine Youth Oil helps to fight signs of ageing and reveals plumper, radiant, and even-looking skin. 

The Ordinary Squalane + Amino Acids Lip Balm 

One of the common skincare issues during winters is chapped, dry lips. It’s as much a concern for men as it is for women. You might not need one in summer, but it’s recommended to keep one handy in winter. The Ordinary’s new lip balm comes in a small, handy travel size that’s easy to carry and does the job quite well. It has all good ingredients like squalane and amino acids, that’s a perfect mix for achieving well hydrated, nourished lips. 

Caudalie Vinopure Purifying Gel Cleanser

While building a specific skincare routine for winter, remember that all cleansing products must not strip away the skin’s natural moisture. Caudalie’s Vinopure Purifying Gel cleanser comes in a gel format that gives the skin a deep cleanse without stripping off its natural oils. It’s ideal to use it in your PM routine to wash the day’s impurities and have well-cleansed skin for the nighttime product layering. If you have dry skin, wash your face with plain water in the morning and skip the cleanser. 

Clinique Moisture Surge 100h Auto-Replenishing Hydrator

Though times have changed, still expecting men to reapply their moisturiser and sunscreen after a few hours especially during a field day is a big ask. The solution is to switch to a product that doesn’t require reapplication even during dry winters. But first thing first, let go of those cold creams and switch to a long hydrating lightweight moisturiser. Clinique’s Moisture Surge hasn’t achieved its cult status for no reason, it promises 100-hour hydration and it delivers. This switch could transform your skin, and you won’t miss your cold cream, we guarantee. 

Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Eye Cream 

The experts are divided on whether or not eye creams work, however it definitely counts as TLC! Until experts find an answer they unanimously agree on, it’s a good idea to invest in an eye cream that soothes the delicate under-eye area and calms down the stressed skin. Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery range provides targeted solutions and visible results. The eye cream is a bit of a splurge but worth the investment.  

Bioderma Photoderm Aquafluide Neutre Sunscreen 

Even though you won’t see sun and sunlight in winter, that’s no reason to skip sunscreen. The last step of your routine has to be sunscreen application all seasons across, even if you are indoors. If you have sensitive skin, Bioderma’s Photoderm Aquafluide Neutre sunscreen can be the best pick. It doesn’t interfere with other products and their efficacy on the skin, doesn’t irritate the skin or clog pores.
