You change your wardrobe when winter rolls around, so what makes you think you shouldn't change your skin care? After all, your moisturizers and serums are sort of like clothes for the face -- they protect it from outside elements. And when those outside elements are destroying your skin, you need to have an arsenal of winter skin-care products on your side. Here, the best skin-care products for combating dry skin.

When the temperature drops and the heat is on full-blast, your skin suffers. Dry air pulls moisture from your skin, which can compromise the skin's barrier function -- its main protection against pollutants, allergens, UV and other skin irritants. The result: super-reactive and irritated skin.

To keep your skin's barrier intact (and ward off itchy, dry skin), switch to a heavy-duty moisturizing routine, like the Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin line. The Ceramidin Liquid and Cream are intensely moisturizing and packed with ceramides that deliver moisture deep into your skin.

To cover up any redness or rosacea brought on by winter winds, try La Roche-Posay Rosaliac CC Cream, a new product specially formulated to reduce redness over time. It contains ambophenol, derived from a plant in Madagascar, which has been clinically proven to reduce redness caused by rosacea. Plus, it's got SPF 30, so you don't have to worry about the sun aggravating your skin.

Many ingredients in acne products are already drying and irritating. Add a temperature dip to the mix and you've got a recipe for a flaky disaster. Instead of relying on spot treatments and oil-absorbing masks, try getting your acne treatment in with a wash-off cleanser, like Renee Rouleau AHA/BHA Cleansing Gel -- a deep-cleansing but non-drying wash with gently exfoliating jojoba beads.

If the fine lines around your eyes are looking a little deeper in the harsh glare of the winter sun, it's probably because your skin is dehydrated -- that, plus all those hours spent inside squinting at your Netflix du jour are taking their toll. For serious plumping power, try Volante Skincare Transformative Eye Crème, a botanical-based product with skin-lightening peptides and light-diffusing ingredients to minimize crow's feet.

Now is not the time to rely on an oil-absorbing charcoal or clay mask. Instead, pile on a nourishing mask like Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Masque a few times a week. The moisturizing mask contains hyaluronic acid to hydrate skin, while tomato seed lipids restore the protective barrier.
