There are countless reasons to love the cool weather: yummy lattes, cozy sweaters, boots—and of course layering our favorite pieces. Battling dry skin, however, is surely not one of them. That’s where skincare treatments come in.
It’s true that the cooler months can leave our skin parched and craving moisture. As such, it’s necessary to re-balance and comfort our skin with treatments that exfoliate, hydrate and nourish the skin when the cold weather rolls in.
Keep scrolling for our round up of intensive skincare treatments and products guaranteed to keep dry skin at bay!
Kate Somerville developed ExfoliKate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment ($85) for those of us who love a good deep cleaning. This treatment has papaya, pineapple and pumpkin enzymes, which work together to get rid of dead skin without drying your face out. ExfoliKate is also formulated with lactic acid, which acts as a natural skin exfoliator. A little bit of this product goes a long way, so think of it as a long-term investment in your skin. ($35)
Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate aids in your skin’s nighttime renewal by replenishing the face with soothing botanical oils, like evening primrose and lavender essential oil. In addition to the heavenly smell, this nurturing treatment delivers smooth, radiant skin by the time you wake up in the morning. The elixir is also extremely moisturizing and combats dryness like a champ. ($35.40)
In the colder months, it’s especially important to keep your delicate under eye area hydrated. Fresh’s Rose Hydrating Eye Gel Cream ($40) cools as it moisturizes, awakens and illuminates the skin. Goodbye, dreaded dullness.($35.40)

The Secret to Jessica Alba’s Perfect Skin Is This Anti-Aging Beauty Bear Pillow
You slept early, you applied that night mask everyone’s been talking about. You even did 10 minutes of meditation before you went to bed. If you’re still feeling sluggish when you wake up, and have less than desirable complexion, we have news for you: the reason could be your pillow. As annoying as it is to add yet another item to the list of things we need for good sleep and good skin, you’re going to want to listen up because the pillow you sleep on can seriously be sabotaging your sleep quality–and your skin. Like any cotton material that transfers dirt and oil to your skin, your cotton pillowcase could be the culprit to the breakouts you’ve been having lately (Gasp!). Enter NURSE JAMIE’s Beauty Bear™ Age Delay Pillow.
The satin finish of the pillow doesn’t absorb like cotton cases-it allows your skin to retain its natural moisture and oils, helping to minimize the appearance and creation of deep-set sleep wrinkles. What’s more, the Beauty Bear has a unique U-shape design to cradle the face and neck and is engineered impeccably to support your neck and lumbar muscles, allowing you to sleep more soundly.
In short, we’re obsessed—and we’re not alone: Jessica Alba recently revealed that she never travels without her Beauty Bear—and we can see why. The Beauty Bear allows your skin to retain its natural moisture and oils, helping to minimize the appearance and creation of deep-set sleep wrinkles. Now, that’s beauty sleep!
