Winter is officially here, which means your skin will subsequently be feeling the transeasonal chill. While many might find their complexions relatively unperturbed by the abrupt change in climate, others will face their skin’s indignation via dryness, dullness or a general state of irritation (honestly, same).
Thankfully there are a spate of new skincare launches ready to step in as soothing salves for resentful winter skin. So if you’re looking to refresh your winter skincare staples ahead of arctic temps, here are a few of GRAZIA‘s new favourites for a dehydrated complexion.
Mecca Cosmetica Mecca-morphosis Purifying Cleansing Balm, $46 SHOP NOW
Cleansing balms are perfect for cooler climes, as they require less rinsing (which can be stripping for the skin), instead melting away makeup and impurities without sucking out all the moisture. This new formula from MECCA Cosmetica feels suitably luxe – think velvet – on the skin and gently lifts away all traces of makeup, while a botanical cocktail of nourishing oils replenishes hydration levels.
Alpha-H Generation Glow Daily Resurfacing Essence, $99.95 SHOP NOW
Exfoliation is important for ensuring that the surface of your skin stays radiant, even and free from flakes – but winter can also be a contentious time for your complexion, so it’s important to approach with caution. Alpha-H’s new resurfacing essence has been strategically formulated with a 5% AHA Complex comprised of five plant-based acids to slough away dead skin, while a blend of postbiotics and antioxidants ensure your skin’s microbiome isn’t compromised.
AUGUSTINUS BADER The Ultimate Soothing Cream, $472.55 SHOP NOW
There’s nothing better than applying a deliciously rich face cream during the depths of winter – and you can consider this new moisturiser from Augustinus Bader your skin’s cosy cashmere. Designed for stressed or very dry skin, The Ultimate Soothing Cream is designed to balance the skin barrier, reduce redness and irritation and provide long-lasting hydration. It’s also non-comedogenic, so oily or combination skin types needn’t fear clogged pores.
PEARL By Par Olive MARINE COLLAGEN SUPERPOWDER (JAPANESE MATCHA), $85 SHOP NOW
If you’re willing to invest a little time in your skin support, PEARL’s highest-quality collagen supplement is your perfect winter skincare companion. This isn’t your average collagen either, with the formula boasting the purest source of 100 percent natural collagen peptides on the market. The latest iteration combines the brand’s premium collagen blend with ceremonial-grade matcha, for a delicious hot drink that’s got TikTok’s seal of approval. With consistency, expect glowing results in as little as 3-4 weeks.
Summer Fridays Dream Oasis Deep Hydration Serum, $70 SHOP NOW
Skin feeling dehydrated, but don’t want to provoke your breakout-prone skin? This new deeply hydrating serum is oil-free, so it won’t cause congestion in your pores, but it does contain a potent mix of squalane, glycerin and hyaluronic acid in a soft, jelly-like texture – dry skin is officially on notice. Obsessed!
ILIA Lip Wrap Reviving Balm – Lucid, $36 SHOP NOW
Dry lips will love this barrier-building lip balm. The formula works to moisturise and revitalise a chapped pout, leaving your lips soft and restoring hydration levels over time – meaning your lips will stay softer and plumper in the long-term, too.
