But what does your skin-care routine look like? Cool, crisp days can make your skin feel parched and scaly. And it’s no wonder: “There’s less moisture in the air to give your skin ambient hydration,” says Jody Levine, MD, a New York City–based dermatologist and an assistant clinical professor of dermatology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.

“That’s why it’s time to change your approach and think about how to protect your skin from harsh outdoor elements like the wind and chilly air.”
It may seem like the obvious solution is to simply slather on more moisturizer. But there’s no silver bullet when it comes to keeping your skin soft and hydrated as the seasons change. When switching over your skin-care products for colder weather, it’s important to take your skin type into account.

Whether you’ve got dry, oily, or combination skin — or a skin condition like psoriasis — here’s how to winterize your routine, adding key ingredients to the mix, so you can keep your skin healthy and radiant all season long.
Sea Buckthorn Oil Can Help Combat Dry Skin
Dealing with dry skin that only seems to get worse in the winter? After washing your face (ideally with a soap-free cleanser or micellar water), apply a thin coat of an antioxidant-rich serum and allow it to soak in for several minutes, suggests Dr.

Levine. Then, apply a creamy moisturizer to help lock in hydration. You can also put a drop of rose, marula, or sea buckthorn oil directly onto the skin or add it to your face cream for even more moisture, suggests Francesca Fusco, MD, an assistant clinical professor of dermatology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City.

Sea buckthorn, an increasingly popular ingredient in skin-care products, is loaded with an array of fatty acids and vitamins that stimulate skin regeneration and repair, according to a study published May 2017 in Lipids Health and Disease. A few drops of the oil itself packs a hefty dose of hydration for parched, flaky skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Hyaluronic Acid Serum to Hydrate Oily Skin
“Even oily skin needs moisture,” says Levine. The trick to hydrating an oily complexion is to first apply a toner containing salicylic acid, which will help dry up excess oil.

Next, use an oil-free moisturizer or a gel-based or serum moisturizer. “Look for those containing ingredients such as glycerin, D-glucuronic acid, Aloe barbadensis leaf extract, L-limonene, and sodium PCA,” says Dr. Fusco, as they provide moisture without the heaviness of oils.

Another popular choice is a hyaluronic acid serum, which packs a powerful punch without clogging pores. According to a study published in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, hyaluronic acid is one of the best topical products to combat wrinkles, increase firmness and elasticity, and retain the skin’s natural moisture, which is doubly important when home and office heating systems start firing up.

“Try using a toning pad with glycolic and salicylic acid that you can apply to just your oily T-zone areas,” says Levine. Then follow up with a lotion-based moisturizer on your cheeks and neck, suggests Fusco. Glycolic and salicylic acids are both incredibly popular and effective chemical exfoliators.

If this is the case, “look for moisturizers that are soothing and calming,” she says. “Those with ceramides can provide extra hydration, while hydrocortisone can be helpful in areas of inflammation.”

Ceramides are lipids, or fat molecules, that are an essential component of the skin’s barrier function and help keep your skin feeling soft and hydrated, according to a study published July 2016 in the journal Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics. Ceramides can also help protect skin from environmental stressors like pollution and seasonal changes, like dry air. Additionally, research shows that low ceramide levels have been linked to atopic dermatitis or eczema.

For eczema-prone skin, Levine recommends a thick moisturizer — either a ceramide-based cream or an ointment like Aquaphor or Vaseline. And be sure to avoid anything with harsh chemicals or fragrances.

People with rosacea should look for products with anti-inflammatory agents. “Green tea creams are especially good for rosacea,” says Levine.
