Eucerin Editor Products For Winter Skin and Body Care

My Skin Hates Winter, but These Moisturising Products Give It Instant Comfort

Feb 17 2021

We've partnered with Eucerin to share the products that will make winter skin a thing of the past.

I personally enjoy the winter season. I love snow, I love cold weather, I love cosy wool jumpers that can easily double as pyjamas. The one thing I do not love: the disappearance of my glowing, healthy, and perfectly supple summer skin. By the time November rolls around, my summer skin is replaced with itchy patches and an overall dryness that makes me look about 10 years older than I am. This personal problem led me on a quest to build a foolproof winter routine that would comfort my dry skin so well, it might overthrow my preference for a mid-July glow. As the hero of my own story, I can say this quest was successful — and my Holy Grail is much better than a metal cup.

After months of testing and failing, I've built a routine that includes nine tools and products my dry skin would be lost without. From a moisture-boosting body wash to an exfoliating mitt, these essentials are my greatest defence against winter skin.

Eucerin UreaRepair PLUS 10% Urea Lotion

The pièce de résistance of any winter skin-care routine has to be body lotion, and for me, the Eucerin UreaRepair PLUS 10% Urea Lotion (£14) reigns supreme. In addition to urea, this lotion uses a unique combination of ceramides and natural moisturising factors (NMFs) to instantly hydrate skin and keep it moisturised for up to 48 hours. While the ceramides promote cellular function to protect skin and lock in moisture, the NMFs essentially create a protective seal on the outer layer of the skin. NMF components are largely made up of humectants, so they can attract and bind water in the skin to prolong hydration. Basically, this lotion is a triple threat that keeps every inch of my body moisturised for days.

Anatomē Essential Oil Diffuser & Humidifier

No matter how many brilliant skin-care products you put on your skin, dry air will render them useless, which is exactly why I don't go a day without my Anatomē Essential Oil Diffuser & Humidifier (£95). Seriously, I keep it on close to 24 hours a day at this point. Not only does it offer up the calming benefits of aromatherapy, but it also adds moisture back into the air, so my skin doesn't feel tight and dry from morning until night. With this, I can trust that my dehydrated natural environment won't dramatically affect the potential of my skin-care products.

Eucerin UreaRepair Replenishing Face Cream

Despite the uncomfortably dry side effects winter has on my skin, that never stops me from spending a good portion of my morning doing my makeup. Playing with new eye paints is my main source of serotonin these days, but my preference for water- and budge-proof formulas means I have to ferociously scrub my face at night in order to remove them. This usually leaves my skin completely stripped of moisture, so I turn to the Eucerin UreaRepair Replenishing Face Cream (£11). This lightweight but fast-acting lotion soothes my skin and returns it to a supple and soft texture.

Eucerin UreaRepair PLUS 5% Urea Body Wash

If achieving soft, moisturised skin were a race, the starting line would be this Eucerin UreaRepair PLUS 5% Urea Body Wash (£15). It's the strong and sturdy foundation to my winter skin routine. It replenishes my skin with moisture while I shower, so I don't have to worry about beginning my routine with severely dry skin. Since this wash uses a five percent concentration of urea — dry-skin kryptonite — I can trust that, unlike traditional formulas, this won't strip my skin of its natural moisture; it'll build upon it.

Boots Natural Ramie Exfoliating Mitt

The Boots Natural Ramie Exfoliating Mitt (£5) is my weekly treat. It's a little too rough for my skin to use every single day, but it helps to slough off any dry spots lingering after a week spent in bitterly cold weather. I add about a dollop of my body wash into the mitt and start massaging. It's not entirely necessary to my routine, but it certainly helps to keep that baby-soft texture I strive for.

Legology Lymph-Lite Boom Brush For Body

I fully subscribe to the idea of creating the illusion that I have naturally soft skin, and this Legology Lymph-Lite Boom Brush For Body (£16) is my main accomplice in doing so. Not only does it buff away dry patches, but it also helps to reduce swelling and inflammation (I have chronically swollen ankles). Using this brush on my legs has become my favourite pre-shower ritual, and it pays off in spades.

Eucerin UreaRepair PLUS 5% Urea Hand Cream

Although I don't leave my flat much these days, when I do, I make sure to wash my hands the second I return home. The addition of this step in my routine forced me to find a hand cream that can nourish my skin without leaving a greasy residue behind. This is how I found the Eucerin UreaRepair PLUS 5% Urea Hand Cream (£9). It offers my hands immediate relief, but also lingers long after I've washed my hands over and over again. Buy it for its quick-absorbing promise, but keep it for its resilience.

Premier Housewares Carafe & Tumbler Set

I know water isn't really the celebrity secret to perfect skin, but I also know my complexion looks healthier when I actually drink water throughout the day. There have been specific instances when someone has asked what's changed with my skin and the only thing I can credit is that I didn't survive on just coffee all week. Because of my faith in the power of water, I try to keep a carafe of it right by my bed at night. This no-excuse Premier Housewares Carafe & Tumbler Set (£8) ensures that I go to bed and wake up hydrated.

Eucerin Aquaphor Soothing Skin Balm

My cuticles, feet, ankles, and elbows usually need some extra care. These spots that tend to crack or dry up more quickly need something like the Eucerin Aquaphor Soothing Skin Balm (£9). The semi-occlusive formula helps to support skin's regeneration process and soothes irritation. My favourite time to use it is right before bed; I lather it onto my problem spots and feel peace knowing I'll wake up with softer skin.
