What’s great about this clay mask is it’s perfect for the winter months when almost everything irritates your skin. Stocked with Omega fatty acids 3, 6 and 9 from rosehips, and chamomile providing anti-inflammorties it’s sure to remedy most issues.
Glow Recipe
Glow Recipe is one of the best brands out on the K beauty market right now, and the watermelon glow sleeping mask is one of their best products. This amazing and hydrating mask can be used overnight or as a ten minute set in and rinse off one. Richly hydrating and nourishing with hyaluronic acid and AHAs helps give your skin reboot when you wake up.
Glossier
Glossier is a cult favorite brand for a reason, they know what they are doing! Just like your masks will be a little more heavy duty in the winter months it doesn’t hurt to have your cleanser on the creamier side too, though this is one you can use year round. And just like all of our favorite Chanel products Glossier has added rosewater to the solution with has healing and skin soothing benefits.
French Girl
There are tons of toners on the market and we’re not gonna lie, we have plenty that we play around with, but currently we are into this one by French Girl. And just like any other toner, you need to give it time to soak into your skin before you move onto the next step of your skincare regimen.
Shiffa
This jade roller is perfect for helping with the next part of your routine. During the summer months we use serums, but we stick to oils in the winter. This jade roller is essential for helping to increase circulation, improve the look of dark circles, reduce puffiness under the eyes, all of it! And we all know that certain stones are known for certain healing qualities, jade is known for tranquility.
Kiehl’s
With the help of the jade roller take a few drops of Kiehl’s daily reviving concentrate and roll it into your skin. This oil is a blend of sunflower, ginger root, and tamanu oil which improves the skins barrier, protects from free radicals, and protects from daily skin damage respectively. That’s pretty impactful if we do say so.
RMS Beauty
If jade rollers or oils that take a minute to soak in aren’t your jam then this might be up your alley. RMS beauty creates oils that are impactful in two to three drops and absorb into the skin quickly leaving it dry, but hydrated.
SK-II
Before K Beauty was huge you could always rely on beauty brands like SK-II from Japan to bring you straightforward, but incredibly effective products. At the end of a long work day why not treat yourself to one of these sheet masks by the brand that is the leader in luxurious skincare? Trust us, this will be something you’ll want to add into your monthly budget!
Another one by SK-II we know for a fact our Beauty Editor keeps at her desk is this mid-day essence. Filled with vitamins, amino acids, as well as minerals, it will leave you hydrated and protected. It’s the perfect amount to spritz in those over heated rooms where you know your skin is loosing more water than you can replenish. The best part? You won’t mess up your make up and you’ll help fend off damage.
Olio-E-Osso
I found this beauty while in LA recently and I cannot stop using it! It’s filled with olive oil and shea oil along with grapefruit oil for that hit of citrus. It goes on smooth and actually lasts! Your lips will thanks us.
La Mer
If you’re new to La Mer, then welcome to the crème de la crème. Even the most wind chapped of skin will show improvement with their Miracle Broth mixture and antioxidant rich cream. Think about it, the brand was created by the doctor when his burns weren’t comforted by anything else on the market.
We hope this breakdown of the winter skincare essentials we can’t get by without was helpful! Let us know in the comments if you already have a solid regimen in place or if there are some winter hacks you have to share!
