Skin Inc. Associate Managing Editor Maggie Walker shares what’s on her mind this month.
I love this time of year. We have officially entered the coziest time of year where all I want to do is curl up with a good book by a fire. Whether it’s sitting by the fire, wearing a comfy sweater or wrapping yourself in your coziest blanket, this is the time of year where comfort always seems to come first for me, and I love it! In honor of this, I’ve paired some top skin care picks based on your chosen method of winter comfort.
1. Big Blanket Energy
Nothing beats wrapping yourself in your favorite cozy blanket for a night in when the weather gets particularly tempermental. The only thing that can make this feeling better is pairing it with a hydrating face mask. Lira Clinical’s PRO Brightening Masque is perfect for this since it uses three forms of vitamin C to smooth the skin while brightening.
2. Sweater Weather
As much as I love a good sweater, they can’t always protect you from the frigid temperatures outside. Skin irritation is something we definitely want to avoid while we’re bundling up. The Body Bliss Lavender & Blue Chamomile 3C’s Skin Saving Salve is perfect for this as it combines carrot, calendula and coconut to soothe crack or chapped skin.

3. Fireside Reading
One thing you’re going to end up doing if you’re reading by candlelight alone is strain your eyes. That’s why if you plan to do a lot of fireside reading this winter to make sure you have the perfect product to pair with that. Bioelements Pro vc10 Eye Bright targets signs of eye aging including fine lines and crow’s feet as well as dehydration, dark circles and sagging.
4. Watching Movies
We want to make sure while were spending time in front of the TV, possibly more time than usual, that we are keeping our skin protected from blue light damage that we know screens can emit. The Osea Seabiotic Water Cream is perfect with its ability to deliver 72 hours of hydration and blue light protection to promote radiant skin. So, no matter how late you stay up watching movies you’ll be covered.
5. Sipping Hot Cocoa
Don’t even get me started on the sweet treats that tend to enter our diet during winter. From sipping hot cocoa to baking cookies, you want to make sure you’re balancing out unchecked glycation in the skin. The Circadia Counter A.G.E serum is perfect for this. It’s specifically formulated to counteract the damaging effects of glycation in the skin.
