When winter comes, we feel the need to cocoon. We pile on the layers, by a blazing fire, or as some prefer — in bed surrounded by a mountain of blankets. But even though we are hibernating, chances are you will still have to head out and face the elements. This means you may find yourself with damaged skin — at the very least dehydrated skin. And there is nothing worse than dry, flaky skin during the cold winter months! Luckily, there are products out there that can help your skin fight back and keep it from getting too stressed throughout the season.

We have rounded up a list of must-try products, many of which include all the right ingredients to assist with keeping your skin hydrated and healthy. We recommend introducing different products into a routine during the winter as this is when skin tends to be a bit more dry and dehydrated. Skin lacks moisture in cold, dry climates; therefore, you want to load on all the hydration you can get.

Prime Regenera II:

The regenerative cosmetic butter! This ultra-rich balm intensely repairs and nourishes the skin with lasting effects. It brings comfort and well-being in the face of daily stress, dryness, and stimulation. Relieved, the skin appears more supple and soothed.

Morning and/or evening, put a small amount of product in your hands and apply to the face after a serum. For an intermittent intense nutritional treatment, apply the mask in a generous layer and leave on for 20 minutes. Remove the excess with a soft cloth.

INGREDIENTS:

Cellular Prime Complex: exclusive anti-aging and anti-wrinkle active ingredients (triple DNA, Liposome RNA and Peptides+) for visible rejuvenation. Lipid complex: restores cohesion and skin’s protective function. Beeswax: nourishes and softens.
 

Moisturizing with a Mask:

A hydrating cocoon! Captivating and smooth, this mask delights the senses and provides intense hydration from the first application. It envelops the skin in a veil of comforting softness. Fine lines are smoothed. The surface of the skin is replenished and the complexion is refreshed. The skin is visibly more plump, regaining comfort and suppleness.

Twice a week, apply a thick layer to the face and neck. Leave on for 20 minutes and then remove excess with a soft cloth.

INGREDIENTS:

Rosa Moschata: strengthens the skin’s protective and hydrating barrier. Shea butter: rebalances lipids in the skin. Rehydrating complex: acts as a hydro-magnet, forming a waterlogged reservoir.

Prime Lip Repair:

A winning smile! This emulsion fights against external aggressions–like weather and signs of aging–by nourishing and hydrating the lips. Lips are left soft, silky and comfortable.

Morning and evening, and several times a day if necessary, apply by tapping product onto the lips and their contour. Apply under lipstick for longer lasting color. Apply over lipstick for a shiny, satin finish. If lips are intensely damaged, apply a generous amount of product to the lips overnight.

INGREDIENTS:

Cellular Prime Complex: exclusive concentrate of anti-aging and anti-wrinkle active ingredients (triple DNA, Liposome RNA, and Peptides+). Avocado extract: source of lipids for supple skin. Propolis: stimulates healing.
