Keep your skin hydrated and healthy even in the dry winter months.&nbsp;

Although everyone's skin is unique in its own way, and we all have that one product or step that can make or break our routine, there's one thing we can all agree on: winter leaves our skin feeling drier than ever.
As natural moisture disappears from the air, cold, harsh winds swoop in, draining any remaining hydration from our skin. That&rsquo;s why adjusting your <a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/beauty/la-prairie-life-matrix-haute-rejuvenation-cream-product-launch" target="_blank" rel="noopener">skincare routine</a>&mdash;especially swapping out lighter <a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/beauty/most-effective-collagen-face-masks-shopping-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">summer products</a>&mdash;can make a world of difference as we transition from the end of fall into the heart of winter. During this time, <a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/beauty/best-beauty-picks-for-october-2024-skincare-haircare-makeup" target="_blank" rel="noopener">our skin</a> craves extra care and attention. The key to surviving the season? Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.&nbsp;

It can be tricky to navigate what works for you, so L'OFFICIEL asked <a href="https://www.instagram.com/drcourtneyrubin/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Courtney Rubin</a>, a board-certified Dermatologist and founder of Fig.1 Skincare, for the best tips and tricks for transitioning your <a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/beauty/best-beauty-picks-for-october-2024-skincare-haircare-makeup" target="_blank" rel="noopener">skincare routine</a> from summer to fall and winter. 
First thing's first: Dr. Rubin suggests swapping out lighter gel or lotion moisturizers that are good for summer and trying thicker creams and balms.&nbsp;
"The best way to combat dry skin in the winter is to ensure you are using skin barrier-supportive skincare," Dr. Rubin explains. "This includes a gentle (cream or oil) cleanser that doesn't strip the skin, a treatment or serum is hyaluronic acid for hydration, and a moisturizing cream."
Dr. Rubin suggests looking for moisturizers with specific ingredients like glycerin, squalane, ceramides, and hyaluronic acid, as they hydrate and condition the skin. However, avoid harsher ingredients like retinol, glycolic acid, and L-ascorbic acid. Want to add even more moisture? Try a facial oil to seal in that moisture as a last step in your nighttime skincare. Dr. Rubin also reminds us to sleep with a humidifier nearby.&nbsp;

"The <a href="https://fig-1.co/products/hydrating-balancing-toner?_pos=2&amp;_sid=175cafea9&amp;_ss=r" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hydrating &amp; Balancing Toner</a> is a great hydrating treatment to layer under moisturizer. The <a href="https://fig-1.co/products/ceramide-moisturizer?_pos=2&amp;_sid=00233c09c&amp;_ss=r" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ceramide Moisturizer</a> is full of ceramides, peptides, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and squalane and hydrates the skin for 24 hours."&nbsp;
