The Best Heavy-Duty Moisturizers for Intense Winter Hydration

Let’s just say that winter skin and I are not friends. It’s like clockwork — by the end of, oh, November, the skin around my nose, chin, and between my eyebrows turns lizard-like, thanks to the ridiculous dryness outside and my need to constantly have my apartment resemble a sauna (thanks, central air). No amount of exfoliating, over-the-top cleansing, and taking more baths and showers in hopes that the steam will somehow work a miracle on your pores seems to work. In fact, all they’ll do is dry you out even more.

The only thing that can protect you against the flakes and cracks of winter? A great, heavy-duty moisturizer. Even oily-skinned gals, listen up: no matter what your skin’s natural texture is, a heavier moisturizer is a must-have for the colder season. Thicker creams and oil-based lotions are necessary for surviving the chill with your epidermis still in tact.
