The Best Skin Care Products to Combat Dry Winter Skin

Arizona is known for its dry heat but when winter sets in, the air becomes even drier. Then we’re left to deal with dry, cracking, scaly, flaking, itchy, and sometimes bleeding skin. As the air cools, the amount of relative humidity drops and makes it difficult for skin to hold moisture and stay soft. On top of that, warming up your indoors makes the symptoms of dry even worse.

As dry weather strips off the essential oils that create a healthy skin barrier, moisturizing efforts can seem fruitless. We’ve put together 3 products that will help you prevent, sooth, and nourish dry skin this winter.

SkinMedica HA5 Rejuvenating Hydrator

You can put all stops to dry skin with SkinMedica HA5 Rejuvenating Hydrator. Ideal for all skin types, this product contains a blend of five types of hydrators as well as peptide complex and Vitamin E. These ingredients work to provide immediate smoothing and continuous hydration. This hydrating serum helps replenish the skin’s natural supply of hyaluronic acid, which draws in moisture from the air into the skin. It’s so potent that you’ll see an instant improvement in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, roughness, and uneven texture.

SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Gel

Moisturizing does not have to involve thick, greasy, and gloppy products. The SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Gel is an oil-free, thin, light serum that contains a rich dose of hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5 to restore and bind moisture to the skin for enhanced suppleness, radiance, and comfort. The refreshing serum replenishes nutrients the skin needs and restores radiance for a smoother complexion. You can use this product alone or add it to a daily moisturizer for extra hydration. The product is fragrance-free and ideal for all skin types.

ZO Skin Health Hydrating Crème

This hydrating crème is a lightweight formula designed to replenish the skin’s natural hydration levels, relieve the symptoms of severely dry skin, and calm the skin to soothe irritation. The rich hydrators in the product replenish lipids, support skin barrier function, improves the appearance of wrinkles, and enhance skin re-epithelialization for maximum recovery. The Ophiopogon Japonicus Root Extract in this cream inhibits bacteria intrusion and reduces the frequency and intensity of skin flare-ups. With continued use, your skin will feel healthier, smoother, and more hydrated.
