EDITOR'S NOTE

As Freeze Week continues, here are some of the skincare products keeping my face and body flake- and eczema-free:

• This fragrance-free cream from Embryolisse. It functions as a moisturizer, face mask, makeup remover, and body lotion. It’s the one holy grail product you need this winter.

• Image Skincare’s Ormedic lip balm. At $28, it’s definitely pricey, but it’s the only thing keeping my lips hydrated in these fluctuating temperatures. 

• A gel body cream from Soft Services. Aptly named Speed Soak, it absorbs quickly so I don’t have to deal with the awful sensation that is putting on clothes after applying body lotion.

Take Note

Raise your hand if you’re experiencing the five-minute closet stare every morning. That’s why we’re calling special attention to WISHI, the app that feels like the 2025 version of Cher Horowitz’s outfit creator (IYKYK). First, you’ll take a personalized quiz that’ll match you to a stylist. Then, based on your lifestyle, budget, and preferences, that stylist will create a set of shoppable, curated mood boards. Pricing starts at $60 per styling session (aka the curation of said mood boards). The higher tier you pay, the more boards you’ll get from your stylist.

Margo here. I’ve been seeing packable puffers everywhere lately, but they’re expensive. On one of my deep dives to find the solution to this shopping woe, I found this one from Old Navy. It’s on sale right now for just under $30 and has a high neck for added warmth. Plus, I love that it has a water-resistant shell and a convenient built-in pouch you can fold it into.
