Cold weather has left your skin in need of some TLC? These creams and serums will help you get your radiance back.
Whether from harsh weather conditions or blasts of indoor heating, a dip in temperatures often spells trouble for skin, leading to parched, tight-feeling spots, irritation, and redness. From lip balms and eye creams to serums and creams, the latest skin-care launches go a long way in getting winter-worn skin under control.
Guerlain Abeille Royale Honey Treatment Rich Cream
Guerlain has long touted honey’s benefits for the skin, making the humble ingredient the star of its popular Abeille Royale line of products. In this new moisturizer formulated specifically for very dry skin and postprocedure care, the brand blends royal jelly, beeswax butter, and its signature Black Bee honey harvested on the French island of Ouessant for a superpowered cocktail that works to firm, smooth, and revive dull skin.
Inspired by the honey-soaked bandages once used for wound healing, the cream’s ultrarich texture soothes, protects, and repairs skin while delivering a subtly sweet scent that feels both grounding and uplifting.
