Winter: nestled in a ski town stomping to aprés ski and powder days galore. Or stalking through city streets shivering in a crisp peacoat. Or simply mourning that 5pm sunset. Regardless of where the season finds you, there are some universal beauty concerns that seem to pop up in the weeks between December and April. Summer enjoys a reputation for effortless no-maintenance routines—tans and freckles and the like—but winter can be just as effortless too. We’ll let you in on the secret.
From moisturizers to lip balms to hair masks, there are plenty of powerhouse products available just a click away on Amazon that can help you avoid red, chapped skin, dry strands, and the like.

Moisturizers and Creams from Amazon Prime
The key to winter skincare? Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. There’s a fantastic array of hydration creams and lotions worth slathering on throughout the day and night. You might prefer a formula that sinks into your skin and feels sumptuous—but you’ll want to make sure it’s not heavy enough to make you breakout. Or you might prefer a featherlight feel you can layer under your makeup. Regardless, the following options are remarkable options from Amazon’s variety.

Lip Balms and Treatments from Amazon Prime
I don’t know about y’all, but I find that lip balm is the single-most-used item in my skincare repertoire during the winter. I nearly always have lip balms rolling around at the bottom of every tote bag, on my desk, on my bedside table. While I was content with the default Aquaphor for years (and still find it to be an excellent go-to for its efficacy), upgrades like the Laneige sleep mask and shopper-favorite tinted e.l.f. balm have made my routine worth savoring.

Winter Sunscreens & Serums from Amazon Prime
FYI: you still need SPF when it’s horrid and gray out. If you’re headed to the mountains or similar, the altitude will put you even closer to a sunburn (or at the very least, wind-bitten cheeks). In that case, you’ll want a powerful sunscreen at your disposal, ideally with a non-greasy finish since you’ll likely be bundled up. The Olay Regenerist Whip Face Moisturizer Cream with Sunscreen SPF 25 is particularly delightful, having been my go-to throughout an entire ski season hitting the slopes every afternoon.

Hair Masks and Serums from Amazon Prime
Winter may beckon in dry strands and hair troubles—not to mention the tangled strands that go along with cold-weather beanies and hats. In that case, you’ll want to opt for more TLC. A deeply penetrating hydrating mask can do a lot of good, plus brushing in oils or cold-processed conditioners.

Face Oils and Masks from Amazon Prime
For ultimate moisture, you should also consider adding in some intensive moments into your regimen: face oils and masks you might use for non-daily treatment. Trust us: there’s very little more soothing than deep-cleaning your room on a Sunday at the same time as deep-cleaning your pores. During the winter, when hydration is oh-so-difficult to come by, these extra-strength treatments can be a crucial part of your routine. While I adore our selections, I’m particularly partial towards the Patchology chilled eye masks, which always refresh me.
