Philosophy when Hope is Not Enough
Price: $38.00 at philosophy.com
This is hands-down m all time favorite winter time skin care product. It’s a firming serum, to be used after morning cleansing. Just a five or six drops of this magical serum, rubbed together in your palms then applied to your skin (either under or instead of moisturizer) will give you a smooth, gorgeous glow all winter long! It’s worth every penny. My only complaint is that the little eye-dropper always breaks towards the end of the bottle, making it a little frustrating to get the last few precious drops out…
Philosophy Hope in a Jar
Price: $15.00 to $105.00 at philosophy.com
This moisturizer is perfect for using during the winter months, when the chilly, dry air takes its toll on our delicate skin. There are three different versions of this wonderful light-weight moisturizer: the original, one for extra-dry, sensitive skin, and one with an added SPF.

Philosophy Help Me
Price: $18.00 to $45.00 at philosophy.com
For years, we’ve known about the wrinkle-busting properties of Retinol, and this is the product that made me a believer. Apply a tiny pea-sized dollop after your night-time wash, just before bed, either alone or with a few drops of “When Hope is Not Enough” for smoother, more supple skin. I noticed fewer wrinkles, and smoother skin, after just two weeks!
Clean & Clear Dual Action Moisturizer
Price: $5.99 at drugstore.com
When you have sensitive, acne-prone skin, like I do, it’s hard to find a good winter moisturizer that doesn’t over-moisturize, leaving your skin hydrated but broken-out. This one’s marvelous, with just the right amount of moisturizer along with a secret ingredient (salicylic acid) to ward off pimples.
40 Carrots Eye Gel
Price: $15.00 at drugstore.com
Wake up tired eyes the day after that fab holiday party with this soothing, cooling eye gel. It combats wrinkles, soothes tired, dry skin, and even helps get rid of dark under-eye circles! I keep this bottle in the fridge for around-the-eye emergencies!
