Cold temps. Dry air. Blasting heat. Winter is in full effect and so are all of the not-so-nice skin issues that come with it. Lucky for us all, the OSEA family shared their top picks for winter-proofing skin. Below, a complete rundown on all the good stuff they’ll be slathering, spraying and patting into their skin, all season long.
What are your can’t-live-without-cleansers for winter?
Jenefer:
I'm a huge fan of Ocean Cleansing Milk—especially during the winter months. It has an ultra-nourishing creamy texture that melts away makeup without stripping your skin's protective moisture barrier.
Mary:
What Jen said! Ocean Cleansing Milk feels so nice on my super-sensitive, 30-something skin. I can use this without worrying that it will leave my skin irritated and red.
David:
I’ve been using Ocean Cleanser for my combo skin since I was a teenager. My sister, Melissa insisted. It’s great for breakouts and smells amazing.
Melissa:
Winter can leave my skin feeling a little dull but Ocean Cleanser brings it back to life. Love the fresh, citrusy scent and how radiant and awake-looking it makes me look and feel– the perfect boost if I didn’t get enough sleep.
Steve:
I’m in my 60s and can’t start the day without Ocean Cleansing Mudd. It cleans my pores, minimizes razor bumps and the peppermint scent wakes me up like nothing else.
Hydrating serums, toners and masks are a cold-weather must. What are your current go-tos?
Melissa:
Hyaluronic Sea Serum is my secret for ridiculously hydrated winter-skin. It absorbs instantly and leaves my skin looking plumped and glowy. I’ve given away so many bottles of this stuff to friends that I’m constantly needing to restock.
Jenefer:
Our new Anti-Aging Sea Serum is a dream come true! It smooths, firms and brightens and is backed by some pretty impressive clinical results. The creamy texture feels like silk. And the color makes me happy!
David:
My wife and I use Vitamin C Enzyme Polish in the evenings a few times a week. It’s packed with 50% vitamin C and makes us glow like crazy.
Mary:
Just ten minutes with our Red Algae Clarifying Mask is like hitting the reset button for my dull, winter skin. It’s super invigorating and leaves my skin looking radiant and refreshed.
Steve:
The cold weather, (even in L.A.!) strips my skin of moisture, so I drink a ton of water and spritz my face with our seaweed and aloe-infused Sea Minerals Mist. It’s so refreshing and my wife says that it makes me glow, which is always a win!
What are the absolute best moisturizers to combat dryness?
Jenefer:
Advanced Protection Cream. Period. It has the most luxurious, decadent, creamy texture and feels incredible on dry, winter skin. It also smooths the look of fine lines and wrinkles, and who doesn’t want that?
Steve:
Whatever Jenefer says. Currently Advanced Protection Cream.
Melissa:
I’ve been using our new Seabiotic Water Cream for a few months now and I swear that my skin looks better because of it. It’s very lightweight and keeps skin hydrated for 72+ hours.
Mary:
In the winter, I slather my face with Dayglow Face Oil® as the last step in my routine. This face oil is really moisturizing and gives me the dewiest glow.
David:
Atmosphere Protection Cream is my winter go-to for my combo skin. It uses shea butter, which I love because it moisturizes without clogging my pores or feeling heavy.
What are your winter body-care essentials?
Melissa:
Undaria Algae™ Body Oil. Our beloved seaweed-infused body moisturizer is our number one best seller for a reason: It leaves skin so soft and glowy. My skin just drinks it up!
Jenefer:
Anti-Aging Body Balm. It’s loaded with coconut oil and is truly the most luxurious and decadent moisture for dry winter skin. And the jasmine and geranium scent is so good.
David:
My mom has been having me use Salts of the Earth Body Scrub in the shower since like I can’t remember when. It’s super hydrating and leaves my skin feeling really smooth after.
Mary:
I’m really into dry brushing with our Plant-Based Body Brush. A few times a week, I’ll do yoga and then brush my entire body starting at my feet and working my way up. It leaves my skin soft and makes me feel super energized (which we all need in winter).
Steve:
After a shower, I’ll moisturize with Undaria Algae™ Body Lotion. It’s lightweight, fragrance-free and my wife made it–what’s not to love?
