Glowy "Vacation Skin" Is My Goal—15 Products That Make Me Look Like I Spent 2 Weeks OOO

Glowy, healthy-looking skin is always my goal, but it especially becomes top of mind once the temperature dips below forty degrees. I likely don't need to remind you that cold, arid air can easily rob your complexion of moisture—which, in turn, can make it appear dull and dry with prominent fine lines. So if I can keep my skin looking dewy and bright during winter, I consider it a major win. Bonus points if someone asks if I just came back from a warm, tropical getaway when all I did was slather on an antioxidant serum.

I've spent years (yes, literal years) testing winter skincare gems, and I've finally landed on a routine that makes my skin appear luminous and well-rested, like I just spent two full weeks OOO. So I'd better spread the wealth, no? Find my staples below in the exact order that I use them, and get ready to unlock balmy "vacation skin" of your own.

Pros: Firms, tightens, and brightens skin, dries down effortlessly with no greasy residue

Cons: Not a ton of product comes out at once, so you'll have to shake it many times to get head-to-toe coverage

Rating: 5/5 stars at Tronque

I've recently been introduced to New Zealand-based bodycare brand Tronque, and let me just say, it is gorgeous. The bottles are sleek and high-quality, the fragrance is heavenly yet subtle, and the formulas are truly out of this world. Each time I use this potent, vitamin C-infused body oil, my skin looks instantly brighter and smoother. It also contains a special lipid complex that has been scientifically shown to make skin behave younger, resulting in firm, plump, deeply hydrated skin from head to toe.

Customer review: "I am obsessed with this entire line of products. I always order two of everything for fear of running out. This line has changed the quality of my skin and scars dramatically ever since I started using them."
