After pollution, winters seem to do the most damage to our skin —dryness, red skin, flaking, and in extreme cases, the cold can also cause the skin to lose its elasticity. To escape these terrible outcomes, we have picked some of the best brands to help your skin thrive this winter season. The primary focus remains to hydrate as much as you can and avoid any sort of drying ingredients.
Can't Deal With Winter Dryness? 10 Brands For Hydrating Skincare Products
Plum Goodness
Plum has products for every kind of skin be it dry, oily, or combination skin. They’re known for saying ‘"no" to any chemicals, parabens, phosphates and other (inorganic) ingredients found in skincare products. Their range of winter-care products includes a Grape Seed & Sea Buckthorn Nurturance Night Cream, and E-Luminence deep moisturising creme (for dry skin). We also recommend their Body Butters which, honestly, smell like dessert.

Biotique
Biotique is an all-natural ayurvedic brand that works on uprooting skin problems and not covering them up. Their cruelty-free and botanical products are perfect for nourishing your skin without feeding it with chemicals. While all their products work (and smell) great, we're particularly in love with their moderately-priced winter skincare kit that consists of a body nourisher, a lip balm, and a skin-brightening cream.
