Skin’s protective barrier takes a beating when the temperature and humidity drop. This new cream protects it without feeling heavy.

Cashmere Bobby Socks

One sleep doctor told me his secret was a 68-degree room and cashmere socks. Avoid any Eliot Spitzer comparisons by getting these in soft gray.

Maison Margiela

$165

Replica By the Fireplace Eau de Toilette

This wood-and-chestnut scent was inspired by Chamonix in the 70s. We’re picturing Audrey Hepburn in Charade, even though that was Megève in the 60s.

Even tidying up can be a fragrant pleasure with this surface cleaner, dish soap, and hand wash set from Courteney Cox’s kitchen.

Ouai

The Body Lotion

A lotion that smells like a spa, this has peptides, niacinamide, various oils, and eucalyptus. I keep it in the shower and slide it over my damp skin.

Alex Mill x Schostal

$295

Pajama Set

Schostal has been making uncommonly soft cotton pajamas since 1870 and selling them in its Rome shop. Alex Mill offers them without the jet lag.

Bedside Humidifier

A bedroom humidifier is one of the best skin saviors, and Canopy makes one with mold-resistant powers, white noise, and an aromatherapy option.

Javon Ford Beauty

$32

Let the thin skin around your eyes drink up this cream while you sleep. You’ll wake up looking fresh and rested, no matter what your Oura ring says.

The Rejuvenating Night Cream

La Mer’s new cream claims to work like retinol, although with less irritation. It’s a rich, smooth indulgence, and a perfect nightcap.

Hydrating Lip Serum

Loaded with oils, vitamins E and C, squalane, and white tea, this protects lips from chapping, cracking, and general winter misery.

Rhode

A thick, rich moisturizer to apply at night as a final shield against the dry air. Also, who doesn’t want skin as creamy as Hailey Bieber’s?

SkinCeuticals

P-TIOX

Notice the similarity between the name of this new serum and Botox? This claims to reduce expression lines slightly with a variety of peptides and no needles.
