With the fall and winter ahead of us, now’s the time to start changing your skincare products to focus on moisturizers and hydrating products. Whether you’re dreading the raw and itchy challenges of the colder temperatures or want to proactively prepare your skin before the cold sets in, it’s the perfect time to establish a foundation for your skin’s success this fall 2024.
For irritated skin, windburned cheeks, and a dull face (and body) complexion, you can always count on a nourishing skincare routine to bring everything back in balance. To help you combat dryness and bring moisture back into your skin during the fall, we’ve rounded up the best moisturizers with skin-loving ingredients like hyaluronic acid for your face and body.
There are so many lotions, creams and gels on the market, so how do you know which one is best for your skin? Is there any real way to determine the best of the best? That’s where we come in. We’ve showcased plenty of options here that work for every budget to restore and protect your skin’s barrier.
If you’ve got sensitive skin or acne-prone skin, be sure to look for an unscented option with skin-soothing ingredients such as squalane, glycerin and vitamin E. If you have an oily skin type, opt for a gel-cream hybrid as opposed to a rich cream. And if glowing skin is your top priority, a vitamin C-infused hydrator can help you look luminous despite the cold.
No matter your skin concern or skin type, we’ve found the best face and body moisturizers at every price point from our favorite brands: e.l.f., Laneige, Kiehl’s, La Roche-Posay, Augustinus Bader and Cetaphil, just to name a few. Below, shop our favorite products for hydrated, healthy skin all year long.
Best Face Moisturizers for 2024
Tatcha The Dewy Skin Cream
Made with Okinawan algae and hyaluronic acid, this cream locks in moisture. It’s full of hydrating plant-derived ingredients that are ideal for dry skin. The Dewy Skin Cream can be used on combination skin for those who prefer a moisturizer with a richer texture.
Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream
This deeply hydrating daily moisturizer promises to leave the skin supple and smooth. Using the brand’s trademarked TFC8 (Trigger Factor Complex), the bouquet of natural ingredients, which have been optimized for skin cell renewal, soak into your skin. If that’s not enough to convince you, it’s also won numerous awards, including the highly coveted No. 1 spot in WWD Beauty Inc.’s The Greatest Skincare of All Time.
Barefaced Hydrating Lotion
Apply 1-2 pumps of Barefaced’s moisturizer to your face, neck and chest to help brighten, reduce redness, and soothe dull skin. We particularly like that there is a good concentration of niacinamide in this hydrating lotion to help strengthen your skin’s moisture barrier and fight photodamage.
Best Body Moisturizers for 2024
Augustinus Bader The Body Cream
Inspired by 30 years of research and innovation, this deeply moisturizing body cream promotes the appearance of firmer, toned, and more even skin. It is the perfect complement to The Cream and The Rich Cream for a head-to-toe hydrating and rejuvenating experience.
