As winter arrives, many of us eagerly anticipate the arrival of cooler, sweater-perfect weather. However, that’s not all to celebrate. Our skincare routines often require adjustments, particularly swapping summer moisturisers for richer options to combat the drier air, especially from radiators and heating systems.

If you’re currently using a moisturiser, be warned, our recommendations for the best winter moisturisers will likely tempt you to try something new. Don’t feel guilty; these instant classics promise all-day hydration, a calm complexion with a lit-from-within glow. These are our tried-and-true favourites, featuring potent ingredients like hyaluronic acid, retinol, centella asiatica (also known as cica) and niacinamide–ingredients that are hard to resist.

No matter your budget or skin type, there’s a face cream formula to suit every need. Read on to know how you can ensure your face stays fully moisturised and protected against dryness throughout the colder months.
