Sorry to state the obvious but we're in the deep throes of winter, people. While that may mean bundling up in cute coats and scarves on the fashion front, things aren't looking so cute beauty-wise. I'm not sure about you, but my skin always takes a beating in the dry, cold weather. We're talking the kind of redness, roughness, and dryness that my go-to face moisturizers can't beat. So once the weather turns nasty, I typically turn to the richest moisturizers for dry skin to beat all of my winter beauty woes.

If you're like me and in need of a new moisturizer for winter, I'm happy to report Nordstrom is coming through with a great beauty sale. From now until January 16, you can save 15 percent on some of the best and best moisturizers the market has to offer. Yes, this sale even includes the iconic, near-mystical La Mer and Augustinus Bader creams, along with tons of other cult favorites.

Ahead, you'll find 15 moisturizers that I can practically guarantee will solve your winter skin concerns. Whether you're in search of a moisturizer for acne-prone skin or need a cream with SPF (because the sun doesn't go away in the winter!), this list covers all of the bases in terms of skin types and price points.
