12 Products That’ll Transition Your Skin Care to Winter

Winter skincare essentials

As the leaves change and temperatures drop, it’s time to reassess not just your wardrobe but also your skincare routine. The transition from summer to winter brings a host of challenges for your skin. Indoor heating, harsh winds, and extreme cold can strip moisture, leading to a dull, itchy, and flaky complexion. The skin’s lipid barrier becomes particularly vulnerable during this time, requiring extra care and nourishment to maintain its health. By adapting your skincare regimen, you can combat the drying effects of winter and ensure your skin remains hydrated and radiant. Below are 12 essential products that will help you transition your skincare to winter, keeping your skin protected and glowing throughout the colder months.

1. Weleda Skin Food

Weleda Skin Food contains extracts of gentle viola tricolor, calendula, chamomile, oils, and beeswax to deeply moisturize dry, rough skin and give it a healthy glow.

2. LaserAway Beauty BFF SPF 50+ Broad Spectrum Sunscreen

A whipped, hydrating sunscreen, BFF SPF 50+ Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen provides superior protection against daily UVA and UVB sun exposure, oxidative stress, and pollution.

3. Drunk Elephant Lala Retro Whipped Cream

This multifaceted rescue cream provides barrier support by reinforcing the skin’s acid mantle and defending against the effects of everyday stressors.

4. LaserAway Beauty Drenched Peptide Enriched Moisturizer

This hydrating moisturizer strengthens the skin barrier and is infused with ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and fruit extracts that refresh and rejuvenate the skin. It makes for the perfect winter moisturizer (but is great all year round, too).

5. Elemis Papaya Enzyme Peel

This rinse-off at-home peel contains natural, exfoliating fruit enzymes. Papaya and calming Pineapple smooth and clarify your complexion, revealing the skin’s natural glow.

6. Aquaphor Healing Ointment Advanced Therapy

Different from a lotion, Aquaphor Healing Ointment Advanced Therapy creates a protective barrier on the skin to provide an ideal healing environment. It protects, soothes, and restores healthy skin.

7. Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate

This top-rated facial oil is formulated with distilled botanicals, including lavender, evening primrose, and squalane. It helps replenish skin for a visibly smoother, more radiant complexion.

8. LaserAway Beauty Eye Opener Multi Corrective Eye Serum

This eye serum visibly reduces the signs of aging around the eye area while adding extra moisture to protect the skin barrier. It reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and makes skin more resilient overall.

9. Bioderma Sensibio Hydrabio H2O Micellar Water

The only micellar water perfectly compatible with the skin—its fatty acid esters are similar to the phospholipids of the skin cell membranes. This micellar water effectively removes makeup while keeping skin hydrated.

10. LaserAway Beauty Polished Microdermabrasion Face & Body Scrub

This at-home scrub cleanses and exfoliates, removing dead skin cells using professional-grade crystals to reveal fresh, soft skin.

11. Farmacy Honey Grail Ultra-Hydrating Face Oil

This lightweight face oil provides ultimate hydration and glow. The antioxidant-rich, fast-absorbing oil revitalizes the skin and helps smooth fine lines and wrinkles.

12. Murad Hydrating Toner

This hydrating toner is a lightweight mist that rehydrates and refreshes the skin while restoring the skin’s natural pH balance and neutralizing surface impurities.

That all-season glow

Winter is not just about enduring the cold; it’s an opportunity to elevate your skincare routine and focus on serious complexion maintenance. By incorporating these essential products, you can protect your skin from winter’s harsh elements while keeping it hydrated and radiant. For even more effective results, consider booking a series of Clear + Brilliant laser facials or Hydrafacials with LaserAway. A few treatments during the winter months can work wonders, ensuring that your skin remains glowing and healthy come spring. Embrace the season with confidence, knowing your skin is well cared for and ready to face the challenges of winter!
