Skin Inc. Associate Managing Editor Maggie Walker shares what’s on her mind this month.
As a dry skin girly living in the Midwest, winter can be a very scary time of year for me. Hydration is my skin care game all year round, but I tend to have to take extra care when the brisk, windy weather comes out to play. I am definitely not alone in this feeling, with many consumers turning up their hydration game during the winter season. However, contrary to popular belief, a hyaluronic acid serum is not a cure all for dry skin, and there are numerous product options on the market to provide some healing hydration. I’ve gathered some of my favorite wholly hydration products.
