Historically, seasons bring changes. The temperature drops, the air becomes drier and the skin feels slack and dry. Despite the best efforts of skincare enthusiasts (investing in a Dyson humidifier and drinking less wine on vacation) and inflated expectations, texture and color still depend on topical solutions. Luckily, there are plenty of new and tried-and-true creams that can make you forget it's even winter. At least when it comes to your skin.
Danuta Mieloch, founder of Rescue Spa (aka every New York IT girl's favorite facial destination), launched her own line of skincare products this year that's just as great as her famous facials. Milosz was a student of the founder of the French skin care brand Biologique Recherche and was one of the few distributors and estheticians of this skin care line for many years. DANUCERA's newest product, Supreme Cream, delivers all the natural active ingredients and moisture your skin needs while tightening your skin like you've just visited a Mieloch microcurrent device.
This traditional Swiss brand, founded by biologists and chemists, represents the “best” in skin care. The brand has reimagined the now-discontinued Regenetic cream in this updated super cream. For very dry skin, this product alone saves reddened, irritated skin and provides long-lasting moisture thanks to its high concentration of hyaluronic acid and DNA-containing liposomes. This cream does more than just moisturize.
If you look at beauty experts' product lists of what they would get if they were stranded on a desert island, Biologique Recherche will appear on every one of them. With a combination of lipid emollients and vernix (a layer rich in fatty acids and proteins that protects your baby's skin), this cream and mask duo leaves your skin as soft and hydrated as a baby. This cream is ideal to use after one of Biologique Recherche's most popular toners, such as Lotion P50 1970.
Developed by a Nobel Prize-winning chemist, the secret of the Nobel panacea lies in its delivery system. The brand also uses pharmaceutical manufacturing to maintain quality control throughout the production chain. Using patented OSMVTM technology, Overnight Recharge Cream offers a unique combination of ingredients that detoxify, regenerate and hydrate the skin while you sleep. The next morning? Perfect skin. Pro tip: Single doses make this the best luxury travel cream on the market.
When Augustinius Badr Cream was launched almost six years ago, the world of skin care was undergoing a sea change. Now that the brand has launched a full line of body creams, hair care and nutritional supplements, the German brand's foundation remains its No. 1 cream. This cream contains TFC8® or Trigger Factor Complex, a patented technology developed by Dr. Bader, who has been researching the field of skin repair for three decades. The rich cream is perfect for cold climates, windy days and nights, or all year round for persistently dry or dehydrated climates.
