Inside this slim bullet you’ll find a hybrid softening balm and satiny lipstick for moisturizing color with a very pretty sheen. That makes it great for dry winter days when lips are more prone to cracking but you still want a glossy pop of color.

Why you’ll love it: Proof that hand cream doesn’t have to be utilitarian, this one is packed with the kind of skin-loving ingredients you’d normally find in a good face cream. There’s vitamin C, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid to help even out skin tone—fading brown spots on the hands—while tons of oils (safflower, jojoba seed, lavender, rosemary, and more) make the blend extra moisturizing.

How you’ll use it: Keep the tube right next to the sink so you can treat your hands each and every time you wash them.

Why you’ll love it: Even in winter, you need sunscreen daily—and this mineral option is a pleasure to wear. It protects against UV rays without leaving a white cast on skin. The soft green tint is undetectable and helps even out redness.

How you'll use it: Apply this sunscreen each morning as the last step in your skin-care routine.

Why you’ll love it: The antidote to dull, static-y winter hair is this easy-to-spread formula, with argan and rapeseed oils, that’s light yet moisturizing. It forms a superfine frizz-protective coating with dimethiconol for hair that’s smoother and shinier all day long. As a nice bonus, you can use it after washing your hair and also as a finisher on dry hair when you need a little somethin’ somethin’.

How you’ll use it: Smooth a small amount onto damp or dry hair from the mid-lengths to ends, then style us usual.

Why you’ll love it: It’s the time of year when skin needs a little more help in the radiance department and that’s where this vitamin C and E serum comes in. The antioxidant duo is brilliant—literally, it helps brighten skin—and protects against free radicals. Vitamin E is a unique antioxidant that also hydrates.

How you’ll use it: Smooth on the serum morning and/or night under moisturizer, like your new one from Grown Alchemist.
