5 New Beauty Products to Buy in the Dead of Winter

It’s February and by now you probably wish the cold, dark winter was over. And your skin isn’t very happy about the relentless months of dry weather and even drier heat, either. Instead of buying an ugly lamp, combat SAD with beauty products. There’s a serum that erases lines from your neck, a calming mask that soothes parched winter skin and even a fragrance that will keep your scarf smelling fresh. These new winter beauty products are serious mood lifters — and they’re guaranteed to get you through to spring.

IT Cosmetics Confidence in a Compact

Hydration and coverage are often mutually exclusive, but this serum-infused compact foundation has both in spades. It was developed by plastic surgeons to be good for skin and it offers serious protection thanks to SPF 50. Plus, anti-aging ingredients fight fine lines while temporarily blurring them away.

Shiseido Ibuki Smart Filtering Smoother

This cute, little pink bottle contains a magical serum-like substance that instantly blurs away pores and wrinkles. You can put a few drops on trouble spots before applying makeup or take a tiny amount and dab it on over makeup — whichever way you go, the results are really like a filter for your face.

Julep Boost Your Radiance Reparative Rosehip Seed Facial Oil

Chances are, your skin is begging you for a few drops of face oil right about now. This one fights dry winter air with rosehip seed oil and vitamin E and it helps repair skin’s barrier, so cracks and dry patches disappear in a day or two.

Sol de Janeiro Açaí Body Power Cream

There are body creams and then there’s Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Cream — the best-selling moisturizer at Sephora. The brand’s newest version is infused with acai and a hint of shimmer and the scent is zingier, but just as delicious as the original. It’s sure to sell out fast.

REN Evercalm Ultra Comforting Rescue Mask

Whether you’re skiing the Alps or shoveling your driveway, red, irritated skin is a common obstacle in the winter. To calm inflammation, this mask harnesses the power of shea butter and essential oils. It feels soothing the instant you put it on and it works in minutes.
