Winter weather can wreck havoc on your hair and skin. Luckily, there are few things you can to do combat winter weather and protect skin. We’ve listed the best skincare and haircare products that will keep hair and skin nourished, and healthy, all season long.
For Face
Exfoliant – Exfoliators are a simple way to restore and repair skin. With use every few days (even every week will do), an exfoliant works to renew skin by removing dead skin, impurities, and dirt below the surface. Lucky Tiger Premium Exfoliating Face Scrub, Anthony Facial Scrub, and the Billy Jealousy LiquidSand Exfoliating Facial Cleanser are great options!
Lip Balm – Dry and cracked lips are common during the winter. They can also be extremely painful if preventative action isn’t taken to protect them. Keep a lip balm in your bag, coat pocket, or car and always be equipped to hydrate.
Moisturizer – Nourishing skin throughout the year is vital to maintaining your skin’s health. Moisturizing morning and night ensures skin stays hydrated and repairs skin that was damaged by the elements. Top performers include the Jack Black Double-Duty Face Moisturizer, SPF 20, Baxter of California Oil Free Moisturizer, SPF 15, Urth Face Balm SPF 15
Facial Oil – For added skin nourishment, pair your favourite skin moisturizer or toner with a facial oil. Gently massage oil through skin before applying moisturizer or toner.

For Body
Hand & Body Cream – Moisturize as frequently as needed, especially in the winter months, to help heal dry and cracked skin. Keep a small tube of hand cream nearby to reduce and eliminate painful cracking. Try one of these nourishing body or hand cream to revive dry and achy skin; Salty Britches Winter Skin Relief Ointment, Pre de Provence 100% Shea Butter, Extra Dry Skin Treatment, Broken Top Candle Company Botanical Collection Lotion, Walton Wood Farm Winter’s A Bear Hand Rescue Cream, Duke Cannon Bloody Knuckles Hand Repair Balm
Dry Brush – Reduce dry skin this winter with the help of a dry brush. Along with improving skin, it will also increase blood flow and unclog pores!
For Hair
Cold weather can do as much damage to your hair as it does your skin. To rehydrate hair and prevent hair snapping and breaking, incorporate products formulated to revive and nourish hair.
Hair Lotion – For really brittle and dry strands, incorporating hair lotion into your grooming routine will keep hair and scalp nourished, preventing dryness and flaking.
Conditioner – Using conditioner a few times a week will help repair damaged hair and enhance its natural shine. The D.R. Harris Coconut Oil Conditioner, British Barbers’ Association Stimulating Conditioner, and Preston Conditioner are perfect picks!
