The search for the best face moisturizers of the season is over! Now that temperatures are continuing to drop, it’s time to give your skin the extra care it deserves. And no, that doesn’t just mean eating healthy food. Today, I’ll tell you all about keeping your skin glowing and moisturized. Ready to have dewy skin even during the winter? Keep on reading for my list of the best face moisturizers below!
Skincare is such a personal thing so it’s really hard to find the best face moisturizers that I truly love. So just a little disclaimer, these products may or may not work for you. However, I did do my best in trying out these products (and letting my friends try it for me) and we ended up liking most of them. Yes, I’m that dedicated! And you should too! Especially now that we’re entering the darkest and coldest time of the year. Cold weather can be pretty harsh on the skin. It usually leaves it parched and chapped, making it even more prone to aging. You don’t want that to happen

I swear by moisturizing because it leaves my skin feeling as supple and radiant as ever. Whether I’m on a flight or having a regular night in, I make sure to slather on a layer of my favorite moisturizer. It’s one of my key secrets to looking fresh and feeling pampered. Trust me, ladies, having the right one is essential in giving off that healthy radiant glow.
This season, it’s good to invest in skincare fit for the cold temperatures. Check out some of the best face moisturizers below.

I won’t stop raving about this moisturizing product because it’s saved my skin in so many flights, it’s now a holy-grail in my flights. Whenever I’m having a quick getaway somewhere cold, I always bring a little tube of this in my bag. I can’t go anywhere without it, I swear.

2. The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisturizer

3. Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Balm
It would be wrong not to include Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Balm in the list. Trust me when I say this, ladies, but this is the ultimate secret weapon when temperatures have gone past the 0 and toward the negatives. The moisturizer itself is pretty thick, so I wouldn’t use it as an everyday product. Once the snow falls though that’s a different story altogether. This will be your best friend.

- Full Size Lip Balm #1 (0.5 fl. oz.)

This award-winning cream has a cult of its own, and I completely understand why. It just works wonders! Besides its moisturizing properties, Elizabeth Arden’s Eight Hour Cream is also multipurpose. This means you can use it practically anywhere — on your face, cuticles, elbows, even lips. Some people swear that it helps heal sunburn too! Imagine that.
