Winter weather is hard on everyone's skin, but winter athletes have it harder than most. Whether you're an avid skier or just refuse to let the snow and slush keep you from long outdoor runs, the snow and dry air are likely wreaking havoc on your skin.
You already know you should be wearing sunscreen -- yes, even in the winter. But are you properly caring for your skin once you get in from the cold? The right products can make dry, rough skin smooth and supple. I've got a few favorites, but I'd love to know which products you rely on -- comment below!
Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream
Not only does this facial cream, which is based on Kiehl's popular original facial moisturizer, have a light, smooth texture, but it contains ingredients designed to protect skin from cold temperatures and help skin retain water.
Renée Rouleau Hawaiian Nourishing Cream
A great option for sensitive skin, the great-smelling Hawaiian Nourishing Cream uses red marine algae, which has proven beneficial for those with acne, rosacea and eczema. Though it feels rich and creamy, it's surprisingly lightweight.
Aquaphor Healing Ointment
One of the best-loved secrets among the women we know is Aquaphor healing ointment. It's affordable, effective and incredibly versatile. We've used it for dry skin, especially on our cracked knuckles and red, raw nostrils, and it feels better on our lips than any of our fancy lip balms.
