While December temperatures haven’t exactly reached frigid lows, dreaded winter weather will be here sooner than we know it. And as we begin to ward away the winter cold with indoor heat and bundles upon bundles of layers, our skin can become dry and chapped from the constant exposure to the drying heat, and not to mention the icy cold air.

To maintain healthy winter-ready skin, exfoliation is one crucial step to add to your routine. But as routinely you shed away dead and flaking skin, it’s also important to replenish your face with essential hydration as well. Failing to moisturize can only leave your skin dehydrated, and not to mention plagued with fine lines and wrinkles overtime. Yikes!

For better (and easier!) moisturization habits, it’s wise to introduce some hydrating creams and products to your daily regimen, being that they can keep skin supple, and not to mention buttery smooth. Not sure what kind of toners and lotions to invest in? Here’s seven hydrating essentials, sure to beat the winter chill.

For A Hydrating Cream

Unlike your spring and summer creams, which offer lightweight and effective moisture, winter creams are often thicker in consistency. So, to use such creams properly, you’ll want to layer them over serums and facial oils, throughout the day. 

For an intensively moisturizing product that lasts for a complete 16 hours, the firming and hydrating La Prairie Time Release Moisture Intensive Cream ($127.99), can be applied on your face both day, and night.

For A Superpowered Toner

Even your daily toners can provide moisturizing benefits essential for healthy skin function. For a moisturizing boost that won’t irritate sensitive skin types, trust the Chanel Lotion Douceur Gentle Hydrating Toner ($48.99) to give skin that silky and noticeably smoother feel.

For Softening Serum

To give your creams a helping hand, the Aesop Oil Free Facial Hydrating Serum ($89.99) brings nourishing aloe, antioxidants and Vitamins right to your complexion.

For A Moisturizing Facial Treatment

Aside from creams and serums, facial treatments like masks can perk up dried and dehydrated skin in no time. But being that dried skin can also be extremely sensitive (and painful), it’s important to treat your skin with caution.

For a mask that won’t leave your complexion sore and irritable, the Glamglow Thirstymud Hydrating Treatment ($58.99) leaves your face glowing, and free of unbearable dryness.

For Softer Lips

Like most parts of our face, our lips are not immune from frustrating dryness. So to keep your pucker supple and totally kissable, use the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Tube ($22.99), for maximum protection at all times

For Eyes

Being that the skin around your eyes is the thinnest, it’s important to treat your peepers to some essential moisture. For an eye cream that both hydrates and protects your eyes from signs of aging, the La Mer The Eye Concentrate ($239.99) leaves the eyezone luminous and healthy. 

For A Softer Body

While we’re so quick to treat our complexion to moisturizing products, it’s important to note that the skin surrounding our body can get neglected in the process. To treat your arms and legs to a burst of beneficial moisture, the Clarins New Moisture-Rich Body Lotion ($35.99) employs softening shea butter, to both smooth and treat dry skin. 

Halloween makeup can surely be unique and fun to apply, but sometimes those fake wounds and clown faces can be really hard to get off once the night is finally over.

While you don’t need to be a trained makeup artist to remove your makeup properly, you’ll definitely need some handy tools to ensure that all traces of foundations and shadows are totally off your face. But before you run to the store and grab whatever makeup remover you can find, know that not no two makeup removing products are the same.

To help you find your best makeup remover match, we’ve selected six different products which guarantee a clean and makeup-free face in no time. And suitable for different skin types (and needs!), you don’t have to worry about pesky irritation in the process.

For Sensitive Skin Types...Promising a gentle clean, the delicate Borghese Gentle Makeup Remover ($23.99) removes stubborn makeup, while soothing temperamental skin in the process . Also suitable for contact lens wearers as well, you don’t have to worry about this cleanser irritating your eyes.

For A Hypoallergenic Clean...Some makeup removers can be hard on your skin, as harsh irritants and alcohols can leave your skin irritated and inflamed. For a more hypoallergenic approved formula, the Clinique Take The Day Off Makeup Remover ($23.99) removes makeup on the lids, lash and lip areas instantly.

For A Lotion Product...If your skin is a bit on the dry side, than this method of cleansing is definitely for you. Lotions can also can just as effective as gel and oil based removers, so for soft and pleasant smelling clean, enjoy the Estee Lauder Take It Away Makeup Remover Lotion ($30.99), which leaves skin soft and smooth, without a greasy feel or residue.

For A Cleansing Milk...Similar to makeup removing lotions, cleansing milk products like the Sisley Botanical Cleansing Milk With White Lily ($85.99), gives you a thorough and gentle cleanse each and every time. And powerful enough to remove light and long wear makeup, this skin softening milk also leaves this skin supple and hydrated.

For Heavy Makeup Removal...Face paints and liquid liner can be hard to remove with just soap and water alone. To take these products off with ease, you’re going to want to use a waterproof busting formula like the Clarins Instant Eye Makeup Remover ($23.99), which easily lifts water resistant makeup in seconds.

For Makeup Remover Wipes...Portable and totally convenient, the Estee Lauder Take It Away Longwear Makeup Remover Towelettes ($28.99) speedily removes makeup wherever, whenever. Also hydrating and softening the skin, this type of product works great on all skin types too.
