The 7 best skincare products to keep your skin fresh this winter

By Abigail Portwood

We all know what the cold, dry winter air does to our skin. Dull, dry and lifeless skin can be a thing of the past now that so many great products have been introduced. Toners, moisturizers and serums have been specifically created to battle the harsh effects that winter has on our skin.

 

Face washes are an important step in the skincare routine as they remove makeup and clear the pores of dirt and oil. The downside to many cleansers is that they strip the skin of its natural oils leaving it dry and susceptible to the harsh climate. There are cleaners specifically curated to replenish the skin and cleanse gently.

1. Kate Somerville Goat Milk Moisturizing Cleanser
