Between the wind, snow, and rain the entire country is experiencing, this winter has been a bit harsh. And the cold is taking its toll on our skin – dryness, wind burn, dullness. Can anyone relate? Add in traveling and our skin is begging to be quenched. But wait, there’s good news! With a little switch up to our skin care routine, swapping facial mists for rich moisturizers and masks, it’s easy to keep our skin supple and soft. So, we polled our editors, and in our opinion these are the best face moisturizers and body lotions. And no, you don’t have to break the bank to keep your face and body nourished. From the best drugstore face moisturizer to luxe creams when you feel like treating yourself, there is a moisturizer for every budget.
