7 Face Moisturizers To Keep You From Being Ashy This Winter 

Best Moisturizers for Winter Skin
By Siraad Dirshe · Updated October 24, 2020

It’s officially ashy season! That time of year when no matter the amount of moisturizer and cream you apply your face still feels drier than the Sahara. The secret to keeping your face hydrated and healthy during sub-zero temperatures is the right products. Unfortunately, summer’s light moisturizers just won’t cut it and it’s time to break out the heavy-duty stuff.

Keep scrolling for seven super moisturizing creams that will leave your skin healthy and hydrated all winter long. 

01
Weleda, Skin Food Skin Cream

Your dry skin doesn’t stand a chance against this cream. It targets and treats dry, cracked skin with hydrating and emollient ingredients but doesn’t contain sulfates, parabens or dyes.

02
Beneath Your Mask, Heal Whipped Skin Soufflé

This ultra-luxurious moisturizer is not only incredibly hydrating but it also deeply nourishes skin. Packed with shea butter and avocado oil, this product will heal the worst of winter skin.

03
Aesop, Primrose Facial Hydrating Cream

This hydrating cream combines sage leaf, rosemary leaf, and lavender stem to deliver dry skin much-needed dose of nourishment.

available at Aesop $49 Buy
04
Tata Harper, Crème Riche Velvet Moisturizing Cream

This heavy-duty cream not only helps to locks in moisture but it also works to soften tough cracked skin. But buyer be warned, it does come with quite a hefty price tag. Thankfully a little goes a long way and one jar is sure to last you the entire winter.

available at Sephora $185 Buy
05
Andalou Naturals, 1000 Roses Heavenly Night Cream

While this product may be described as a night cream, don’t let that fool you. It just means it’s a tad heavier and richer than a typical moisturizer which is exactly what your skin needs both AM and PM.

available at Target $24.99 Buy
06
Tatcha, The Water Cream

This water-based delivers a burst of skin-improving Japanese nutrients and hydration to the skin. While it has a lighter texture than most creams it absorbs instantly into skin and leaves it feeling uber moisturized.

Best Moisturizers for Winter Skin
available at Sephora $68 Buy
07
Kiehls, Ultra Facial Cream

This cult favorite product not only stops moisture loss from the skin but also draws and absorbs moisture from the air and puts that back into the skin.

available at Sephora $27.50 Buy
