Face Off: 3 Must-Have Winter Moisturizers

Blistery winds beware. EDGE staffers have been schmearing our faces to scope out some of the best facial products to beat the winter blues.

Even if you're not in a cold weather town, winter months often bring lower humidity, which equals dry skin. Here are three products to repair, revitalize, and keep you looking good no matter where you're headed.

TAUN Facial Repair Formula

Co-founders Tom Devine and Andrew Hunt named their skincare brand after a hardwood found in Asia. Hoping to elicit strength and resilience, the pair has focused on a singular product specifically targeted for men. They developed TAUN's small-batch facial repair formula through development with researchers, chemists and customers.

The result? A powerful anti-aging formulation that fights signs of premature aging such as uneven skin tone, dark spots, crow's feet and frown lines.

We found the 13-ingredient cream rather loose, but a little goes a long way. The formula absorbs easily and isn't greasy, and with no added fragrance, it won't compete with whatever cologne you may splash on for the day. After just one evening application, you're likely to feel noticeable firmness the following morning as the product stimulates collagen production, helps to neutralize free radicals and strengthens the skin cell barrier.

Kiehl's Pure Vitality Skin Renewing Cream

Kiehl's returns with a new cream to add to its arsenal of well-crafted skincare products. Comprised of 99.6 percent naturally derived ingredients, the formulation is the first to pair two wellness ingredients: New Zealand Manuka honey and Korean red ginseng root. It might sound like something to add to your tea, but trust us -- face first!

"These are true powerhouse ingredients with strong scientific profiles" says Kiehl's head chemist Dr. Geoff Genesky. "New Zealand Manuka honey is no ordinary honey. For over 30 years it has been known for its strong efficacy, and physicians today still value it as a potent skin treatment. Korean red ginseng root has been used for thousands of years in traditional Asian medicine and has been demonstrated to be the most powerful ginseng in the world in terms of biological actives."

You'll notice a slightly different skin feel with this cream compared to most mainstream products that rely on emulsifiers, thickeners, emollients and powders. The formulation gently glistens, but is quick to absorb and can be used by both men and women.

Aminocare For Men Face Cream

If you're looking for a denser formula, Aminocare's face cream is slightly weightier on the skin but rich in anti-aging properties. Amino acids derived from pure silk fibers and moisturizing argan oil combine to create a face cream that helps strengthen elasticity and slow down the aging process.

Use in combination with their face wash. Perfect for sensitive skin, it contains aloe vera, chamomile and cucumber to gently clean and soothe skin.
