Best Winter Moisturizer: Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream
Made from antarcticine (an exctract native to Antarctica) it's no wonder this face cream is the ultimate weapon against frigid winter temps and brutal Chicago winds. Spread a small amount of this non-greasy cream all over your face and neck before bed and you'll be rewarded with 24 hours of hydration when you wake up.

Melt away makeup and excess sebum with this lightweight and divinely fragrant precleanse oil. Use gentle, circular motions to massage the oil all over your face. Follow with Dermalogica's Special Cleansing gel.
