Winter can reek havoc on the face.  However, everyone's skin responds differently to winter weather and need specialized treatment.

Fair Skin and/or Freckled Skin have less pigment and less natural UV protection, which requires a moisturizing sunscreen.

• TRY EltaMD UV Daily Broad-Spectrum SPF 40 - $26.50 (1.7 fl oz)

Olive-Toned/ Dark Skin have greater natural UV protection, but are at risk for long-term scarring from skin irritations, which requires a thick, creamy moisturizer to reduce irritation.

• TRY Obagi Hydrate Luxe - $72.00 (1.7 fl oz)

Dry Skin needs a heavier cream during the winter from a jar or tube to seal in moisture.

• TRY La Roche-Posay Hydraphase Intense Riche - $35.99 (1.69 fl oz)

Flaky Skin occurs due to sunburn, windburn, or severe dryness, which requires exfoliating the face 1-2 times per week.  Try using an exfoliant with citric acid.

• TRY  Dermalogica Skin Prep Scrub - $37.00 (2.5 fl oz)

Combination Skin is the most challenging skin type to treat and may require different products for different areas of the face.

Greasy/ Oily Skin still requires treatment during the winter, despite the potential decrease in oil production. Try a lighweight moisturizer.

• TRY La Roche-Posay Effaclar MAT Daily Moisturizer - $31.99 (1.35 fl oz)

Sensitive Skin is easily irritated by harsh winter conditions, and therefore, requires products free of colors and fragrances.

Acne Skin, still, requires treatment, but it must not dry out the skin due to the dry, winter air. 

• TRY Obagi CLENZIderm MD Therapeutic Moisturizer - $39.00 (1.7 fl oz)
