Winter Skin Survival Guide: Keeping Your Face Hydrated All Season Long
By JENNIFER Tinsley
Winter can be harsh on our skin, leaving it dry, tight, and needing a serious hydration boost. Between colder temperatures, low humidity, and indoor heating, our skin is constantly battling moisture loss. At FIELD, we believe winter skincare should be as nourishing as it is effective, as well as being safe and gentle. Here’s our guide to the top hydrating products you can find at FIELD this winter—each one carefully selected to keep your skin feeling soft, hydrated, and glowing throughout the season.
For those looking for a high-performance serum, Odacite’s Edelweiss Extrême® Derm-Restore Super Serum is an absolute must. This powerhouse formula is enriched with antioxidant-rich edelweiss flower, known for its protective qualities against harsh climates, and moisturizing squalane, which locks in hydration. This serum goes beyond simple hydration by strengthening the skin’s barrier, helping it resist dryness and environmental stressors. It's ideal for anyone wanting that added layer of winter defense.
Hydration starts drinking water, but then continues with a solid serum, and Facewater’s Plantonic Hyaluronic Serum Water is a beautiful 100% plant based blend designed for lightweight yet intense moisture. This serum water contains hyaluronic acid and botanical waters that deeply hydrate without weighing down the skin, leaving it feeling fresh and plump. Perfect for layering under your moisturizer, it provides a burst of hydration that keeps your skin super hydrated throughout the day.
Creamy yet lightweight and with a bouncy marshmallow-like texture, Kinship’s Supermello Hyaluronic Gel Cream Moisturizer is the perfect day cream that’s soothing, hydrating, and designed to keep moisture locked in. Formulated with marshmallow root, hyaluronic acid, and vegan squalane, this gel cream provides deep hydration and is calms sensitive skin with their unique Kinbiome blend of probiotics. The unique gel-cream texture is ideal for those who want intense moisture without a heavy finish, making it suitable for most skin types.
Brighten + hydrate in one step with Three Ships Dew Drops Mushroom Hyaluronic Acid + Vitamin C Serum. This serum combines the powerful hydrating effects of tremella mushroom with the skin-brightening properties of vitamin C to lock down hydration while brightening the skin. The tremella mushroom, known for its superior moisture retention, acts as a natural humectant, binding moisture to the skin for long-lasting hydration. It’s a perfect choice for anyone wanting to keep their complexion both hydrated and radiant.
Pro Tips:
To make the most of these hydrating products, follow these tips:
- Layer wisely: Start with lighter, water-based serums like the Facewater Plantonic Hyaluronic Serum Water, then lock in moisture with a richer cream like Kinship’s Supermello.
- Use a humidifier: Indoor heating dries out the air, so adding a humidifier can help keep your skin’s moisture levels up.
- Hydrate from within: Drink plenty of water, as hydration starts from the inside!
