Winter is coming, and that means it’s time to find the perfect moisturizer to protect your pretty face from the nasty winter weather!
The light cream you used in the summer probably isn’t going to work, and even though you might not think you need it, you still ought to use some sort of sunscreen, too.
Here’s my list of the best day creams and moisturizers for the winter weather. You’re bound to find a new favorite here!
1. Philosophy Hope in a Jar
Price: $38 at sephora.com
This is my long-time personal favorite, and it is exactly what the name implies: HOPE in a jar! It’s oil-free, lightweight (but not too light for winter) and works like a charm! It exfoliates to get rid of roughness, and it hydrates and protects your skin, too. LOVE IT!
2. PETER THOMAS ROTH Max Sheer All Day Defense Moisture Lotion – SPF 3
Price: $42 at sephora.com
SPF 30! Perfect! And it’s made to last all day long. It’s greaseless and light and fragrance-free, so it’s great for all skin types, even sensitive skin.
3. Korres Quercetin & Oak Antiageing Antiwrinkle Day Cream SPF 10
Price: $48 at sephora.com
Using the same chemicals that keep oak trees strong and healthy, this day cream moisturizes and fights the effects of aging. It also protects your skin from winter sun damage with SPF 10.
4. Perricone MD No Foundation Foundation
Price: $50 at sephora.com
Use this under, or instead of, your regular foundation for an extra layer of soothing protection from nasty winter weather. Also protects you from harsh, intense winter sun with SPF 30.
5. Kinerase PhotoFacials Sun Damage Reversal System Day Moisturizer with SPF 50
Price: $88 at sephora.com
Winter is no time to slack off in terms of protecting your skin from the sun, and this product is designed to help you do just that. It not only protects you with SPF 50, it also helps heals damage that’s already done.
6. OLE HENRIKSEN Truth Serum
Price: $48 at sephora.com
Vitamin C isn’t just for boosting your immune systems to protect you from catching colds! It also reduces the appearance of wrinkles and helps tighten your skin. Green tea also helps protect your skin, and this product has both!
Hi Jennifer! You can’t imagine how helpful this post is for me. Today I was just reading about Perricone MD No Foundation Foundation on an other blog, but it was nothing mentioned about the price and place where I can find it. I will definitely check it out at Sephora and I really hope they’ve got it here in my country also. I love the idea that it can replace the foundation because this year I’ve been using less and less foundation and I was searching for a good product with SPF. This is also against wrinkles and I know I have a cold winter ahead of me so, I hope it will work.
Our face is important to take care of through all seasons espeially in winter. When who has a very dry skin, normally it gets drier. The same happens in summer for people who have oily skin. It seems like trough the season it keeps coming out.
We do alot of things during our days. 10 minutes at morning and another 10 at night won’t do us any harm. Surly it won’t change a routine. We need to take care of our faces, cause when we’re full of pimples it’s too late!
Have u ever tried the clinique moisture surge extended relief moisturizer? It’s amazing especially for winter. For summer u can switch it up for the moisture surge face spray. They are both oil-free so they don’t cause pimples n break outs. When i use them in combination with zit cream or other acne spot gels, it works even better!!!
Hey Nannie,
Clinique is amazing! :)
