Starting a new year always feels like a perfect moment to refresh your beauty routine—and this year, just ahead of my 51st birthday, I’m excited to share three skincare products that have truly transformed my winter regimen. Thanks to Nordstrom for partnering with me to highlight these gems that bring hydration, health, and a little indulgence to skin during the cold months. Bonus: one of these products is a favorite for my husband, too!
If you’re looking to keep your skin soft, nourished, and glowing all season long, read on. These picks have become absolute staples for me and might just become yours.
1. Necessaire The Body Lotion: Hydration Without Compromise
With age, I’ve noticed my skin getting drier, especially during winter. That’s why I turned to Necessaire The Body Lotion, a daily multi-vitamin moisturizer that feels light yet deeply hydrating. What I love most? It’s fragrance-free, which means it doesn’t compete with my perfume or irritate sensitive skin.
My husband and I both use it every day, and over time, we’ve seen real improvements in our skin’s texture, tone, and firmness. It’s also my go-to for keeping my feet soft and moisturized, especially when I’m wearing sandals or shoes with open heels. It’s subtle, effective, and makes dry skin feel nourished without any fuss.
2. Necessaire The Body Exfoliator: Smooth, Renewed Skin
Because I loved the lotion so much, I decided to try the Necessaire Body Exfoliator as well. Available in four scents plus fragrance-free, I chose the fragrance-free version to keep things simple and pure. From the very first use, it exfoliated gently but thoroughly, leaving my skin soft, refreshed, and radiant.
You can use it once or twice a week, and I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to brighten dull winter skin. Having tried several exfoliators in the past, I can confidently say this one is among the best—it renews skin beautifully without drying or irritating.
3. La Mer Lip Balm: Luxe Care for Winter Lips
Winter’s harsh air can leave lips dry and chapped, so I’m grateful to have discovered La Mer Lip Balm. This velvety balm has a subtle minty freshness that instantly soothes and restores lips, keeping them soft and hydrated throughout the day.
I wear it alone or under lipstick, and it feels incredibly nourishing without being heavy or sticky. While it’s a splurge, the instant relief it provides—and the lasting softness—make it worth every penny.
Why These Three?
These products complement each other perfectly, tackling the major skin concerns of winter: dryness, dullness, and chapped lips. Plus, they’re thoughtful gifts for anyone who loves a little self-care ritual, bringing daily comfort and nourishment to skin and lips alike.
Nordstrom makes shopping for these favorites easy, with free shipping, returns, and convenient curbside pickup. I love that I can order online and have my purchases brought right to my car—such a simple, seamless experience.
Final Thoughts
If you’re ready to treat your skin to some extra TLC this winter, these three beauty essentials deserve a spot on your shelf. They’re subtle, effective, and suitable for all skin types, especially when dryness and winter weather strike.
I hope you enjoy trying these products as much as I do! And if you have any questions about them or want more recommendations, feel free to reach out—I’m always happy to share more beauty tips and favorites.
