Is your overheated home and the biting winter winds wreaking havoc on your once soft and dewy skin? The trick to staying supple during the colder months—and not verging on reptilian—is to moisturize with a body cream that’s richer than the one you use in the summer.
That’s right, the good stuff.
Here are five lush moisturizers to rejuvenate that dermis and get you back on track to beautiful this winter.
Aveda Replenishing Body Moisturizer
Start replenishing your winter-weary skin with this vitamin-infused moisturizer that also includes this key skin-saving ingredient: Meadowfoam seed oil. Massage your skin in circular motions after a shower or bath. Your skin will thank you. Aveda Replenishing Body Moisturizer, $32, at Aveda salons, spas and stores, 800-689-1066, aveda.com
Moroccanoil Body Soufflé
Are you a die-hard fan of Moroccanoil’s hair-changing treatment products? Well, introduce your winter-wearied skin to Moroccanoil’s skincare hero: The Body Souffle. This lush, rich moisturizer features the signature hair serum scent as the olfactory base. And when you apply, follow this skin-saving tip from Jemy Dayrit, Moroccanoil spa educator and massage specialist. “Moisten your skin before applying a moisturizer to get a little extra hydration. The beauty of the Body Soufflé is that it contains aloe vera which quickly absorbs into skin while adding beneficial nutrients and moisture.” Moroccanoil Body Souffle, $52, moroccanoil.com
