“Great medical-grade skincare is especially important during winter months to prevent dryness and cracks — ouch!” says facial plastic surgeon Dr. Kian Karimi. “I highly recommend Alastin’s Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer, focused on restoring the hydration and barrier function of your skin during those winter months. It contains phospholipids that help to support the skin barrier and triglycerides that support hydration to maintain a beautiful glow all winter long!”

 “While your face is always a consideration, cold weather in the winter can lead to dry hands that become cracked and painful,” reminds dermatologist Angie Koriakos. “My favorite product to use throughout the cold winter months is the Norwegian Formula Hand Cream by Neutrogena. This moisturizer has a smooth silky feel and does an excellent job of keeping the hands moisturized!”

“It’s well established that dry, cold, windy weather is a primary cause of irritated winter skin and exposed skin, like the face, is most vulnerable,” dermatologist Dr. Tejas Desai explains. “So, start early in the fall with a luxurious moisturizing product both protects and repairs like SkinMedica’s Dermal Repair Cream. Its ultra-rich moisturizer prevents moisture loss!”

“I tell my patients to choose hydrating products as the season transitions, and the air becomes cooler and dryer,” notes dermatologist Dr. Elizabeth K. Hale. “Adding a hyaluronic acid serum like Isdin Hyaluronic Concentrate can boost skin hydration. And, choosing a hydrating moisturizer like Senté Dermal Repair Cream, which contains heparan sulfate, can improve skin hydration, elasticity and barrier function!”

“Weather and humidity levels change season to season and so should your skincare products,” finds dermatologist Dr. Jeanette M. Black. “In the winter months, skin tends to run dry due to decreased humidity. My favorite product to prepare for winter skin is Vanicream Daily Facial Moisturizer. This product is great for regular use on the face and can keep skin hydrated without clogging pores or causing irritation!”
