The snow shines white on the mountain tonight, but your face doesn’t have to! Even if there’s a storm raging on outside, you don’t have to settle for drab, dreary skin during the coldest months of the year. Instead, you can keep your skin looking like it’s lit from within even in the depths of winter. Don’t let your skin go this winter season—these five beauty products will give you a warm winter glow!
1. Korres Wild Rose Daily Brightening and Refining Buff Cleanser ($24 at Amazon)
Your skin has one heck of a job during the cold months keeping you in one piece, so send it some love by helping it clear dead skin cells away. After all, moisture can’t get in if there are too many dead cells on the surface. This gentle, skin-brightening cleanser naturally exfoliates your skin with ingredients like sugar-citrus extracts and wild rose oil so that your radiant, luminous complexion can make an appearance even on the dreariest of February days.
2. Indie Lee Lavender Chamomile Moisturizing Oil ($36 at Indie Lee)
Contrary everyone’s favorite Frozen lyrics, the cold probably does bother you, at least when it comes to your skin. There’s something about the freezing winds, full-blast heaters and winter weather that just sucks the life right out of your epidermis. No longer! Keep your skin moisturized with this 100 percent natural hydrating oil made with jojoba oil, lavender and chamomile. Apply some on before you go to sleep, and your dry, itchy skin will soon be last winter’s problem.
3. NARS Illuminator in Orgasm ($30 at NARS)
Looking for a bronzy glow that has a hint of tropical vacation but doesn’t look completely out of place in the winter? This illuminator is just the thing for the job. Glide it onto your face to refresh and enhance your complexion with just the right amount of shimmer. You can apply this illuminator mixed with foundation all over your face or use it as a highlighter for your brow bones, cheekbones and the inner corners of your eyes. You’ll be catching the light (and eyes!) all winter!
4. Josie Maran Argan Infinity Lip and Cheek Creamy Oil, $18 at Sephora)
Add a bit of rosy color to the whites and blues of winter with this tinted lip and cheek creamy oil! Not only does it brighten your face with a soft flush of natural-looking color, but it also hydrates and nourishes both your chapped lips and your dry skin. You won’t have to go pinching your cheeks anymore after you try this one out!
