    29 Splurge-Worthy Products That Will Keep Your Skin Hydrated This Winter

    Get ready to hear a whole lot about hyaluronic acid 💦

    1. A vegan Youth to the People mask with four ultra-hydrating ingredients: squalane, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and betaine. PLUS maqui and prickly pear — two super fruits that fend off free radicals and eliminate redness.

    2. A three-step customizable Buttah Skin set specially formulated for melanin-rich complexions. Aside from providing much-needed moisture, the products also help address discoloration, oiliness, and blemishes.

    3. A creamy body butter that packs a punch with a trio of hydrating ingredients including manuka honey, cocoa butter, and shea butter. Add the oils of naturally moisturizing nuts to the mix (macadamia, kukui, and Brazil) and you've got a no-nonsense formula.

    4. An exfoliating Baby Foot peel so effective, the before and after photos will both give you nightmares and earn a spot on your vision board.

    5. A Noto face and neck serum with a laundry list of nutrient-dense natural ingredients including marula, rosehip seed, and wild carrot. Together they not only hydrate and nourish skin, but also encourage acne to heal via cell rejuvenation.
