The 13 Best New Moisturizers for Fall 2018

While we may be in that awkward, in-between weather with temperatures dipping, and then rising — now's the perfect time to switch out your go-to moisturizer for a heftier cream to hydrate (and protect) your skin, no matter what the weather throws at us. When it comes to finding the right formula for your skin type, there's a lot to keep in mind: Are you looking for a lighter option to wear under makeup in the AM? Or perhaps a reparative, overnight formula to make the most out of your beauty sleep? Both? Great, keep reading. "As we move into the fall, both temperature and humidity levels decrease," Joshua Zeichner, director of cosmetic and clinical research at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, tells Allure. "This means that your skin may require more hydration and protection than it needed during the summer." So while it may seem like an extra investment to tailor your products, moisturizers specifically, to keep up with the changing weather, trust us — your skin will thank you for it. "Moisturizers are an essential part of every skin-care routine because just as our bodies require us to hydrate with water, so does our skin," Shereene Idriss, a dermatologist at Union Square Laser Dermatology in New York City, tells Allure. "In the short term, moisturizing perks your skin back up, giving you a healthy fullness. In the long term, consistent moisturizing helps decrease the appearance and rate at which fine lines and wrinkles emerge." Here, we've rounded up 13 of the latest launches to keep you (and your face) hydrated all season long.
