The best skincare products for Canadian winter

The West Coast has the mildest winters, which means people can often be found outdoors. Make sure your daily moisturizer contains at least an SPF 30, says Charmaine Cooper, education manager at Dermalogica Canada, and choose a serum with vitamins A, C and E to repair and protect against sun damage. To purge the skin of pollutants every now and then, incorporate a specialized treatment, like a peel or mask to target the buildup.
