“My winter obsession is Omorovicza’s Thermal Cleansing Balm, which is a blend of hydrating oils and detoxifying mud that takes off all my makeup, but feels amazingly rich and doesn’t over-dry at all. My skin looks insanely dewy and healthy before I even put on my moisturizer, and I never have that tight feeling you sometimes get when it’s cold outside. It’s truly the best.”

“No matter how much lip balm I apply, my lips are forever chapped. I first bought Fresh’s Sugar Lip Polish in Toronto during a frigid week and haven’t been able to survive without it since. It removes my flaky skin and leaves my lips soft and smooth.”

“When we go skiing, I pack Farmaesthetics Warming Oil along with the helmets, gloves, snacks, and hats. It smells Christmassy—a bit like an orange pomade—and it works against windchill.”

“When dry air starts ruining my hair texture and dehydrating my scalp, I keep my shower stocked with two products: Sachajuan’s cooling and soothing Scalp Shampoo and Leonor Greyl’s super-hydrating (but not heavy) Masque à L’Orchidee. Both smell delicious and stop unwanted seasonal symptoms in their tracks. On the go, I always carry By Terry’s Aqua Tint Lip & Cheek #2 as my ideal beauty complement to sweater-weather season. It provides an instant just-bitten effect to lips and charming windburn to cheeks.”

“Tatcha’s Camellia Cleansing Oil—but really, all of Tatcha’s cleansers—and Buly body lotion and hand cream. They’re decadent, have a very faint scent, a lasting feel, and come in a beautiful package—utter luxury.”

“For about eight months out of the year, I can usually get by on French drugstore products when it comes to a skin moisturizing regimen. But as soon as the winter months hit, I end up splurging on richer, more penetrating creams on the whole. Though I’ve tried a few, I find myself coming back to La Mer’s Crème de la Mer moisturizing cream. One tub of it usually gets me through the harshest months, so it ends up being a good investment.”

“While I typically mix my own salt scrub from kosher salt and olive oil, this version from Lush gets the job done, too—and leaves less of a mess in the kitchen.”

“Eve Lom’s oil-based balm cleanser preserves moisture, and the method of use—massaging the balm into the skin before removing it with a moist, heated muslin cloth—gives the water in my bath time to heat up on chilly mornings. Also, the scent, with its hint of clove and eucalyptus, is a winter classic.”

“I first met David Arbuthnot backstage at Public School’s Spring ’16 show, where he introduced me to Context, his unisex skincare line. As the days go gray and gloomy, I’ve fallen in love with Context’s Hydrating Toner and All Day Eye Cream—both come packed with vitamin C to brighten dull skin. The toner even provides a refreshing zing, thanks to the infusion of tangerine and orange peels—a perfect wintertime pick-me-up.”

“There are a few beauty products I repurchase every time this season, but the only one I really, truly cannot live without is It’s a 10 Miracle Leave-In Treatment. I’ve been using it for almost a decade, and have noticed significant long-term benefits. You spritz it on wet hair post-shower, and among the 10 things it’s supposed to do (like detangle, boost shine, and soften), eliminating static is hands-down the most important one. My fine hair is an unmanageable mess without it.”

“It’s important for me to do everything I can to keep my skin (at least) looking hydrated and fresh. I start off with La Prairie’s Purifying Cream Cleanser, leaving my skin refreshed and (hopefully) youthful, before spraying my face with Grown Alchemist’s Hydra-Mist+ with desert lime and amino-peptides for a bright finish. The final touch is a super-simple and inexpensive favorite: ChapStick’s moisturizing Vanilla Crème, which keeps my mouth looking almost as good as Angelina Jolie Pitt’s.”

“I cannot get through the season without Shiffa’s magical balm. Perfect for chapped lips, cuticles, dry split ends, and more. There’s a reason why it’s dubbed the ‘healing’ fix.”

“I try to pack in as much moisture as possible by using balms and salves. Everything from May Lindstrom is so dreamy, but The Blue Cocoon is the ultimate hydrating, nourishing treatment. Massage the blue paste into wet skin after cleansing, or dab it on as an eye or lip treatment for a sleek, natural shine. It melts onto your skin and leaves you glowing.”

“Even though Chicago holds the Windy City title, New York City should receive an honorable mention. To battle the brutal weather, Aquaphor has always been my classic and unassuming staple, swooping in to save my chapped lips and red nose.”

“Boscia’s Tsubaki mask convinces me I won’t develop scaly skin—and it smells like the spa, too. I also want to bathe in Trader Joe’s Coconut Body Butter. It is the richest, fluffiest, most incredible stuff to moisturize with at night or post-shower. And the fact that it’s $10 feels like I’m getting away with a dirty secret.”
