Finding the right combination of products to protect my skin from the cold is a task, to say the least. So you can imagine my excitement when I came across Sabon beauty products, which include a wide range of cold-weather skincare essentials that I now rely on to get me through the winter months without flaky and dry skin. Bonus: They also protect against other harsh elements like pollution — and New York City has no shortage of that.

An Israeli-based beauty heavy hitter, Sabon is known for its natural formulas and bold scents. The brand offers plenty of options for both your medicine cabinet and aromatherapy lineup — think candles, oil diffusers, and fabric fresheners. But as an admitted Sabon convert, it's the skincare line that really drew me in, as products like the 3-in-1 Facial Mud Scrub Mask serve several different purposes (hydrate, exfoliate, and condition) in one. This shaves off a few steps of my skincare routine but doesn't skimp on the level of protection to fight off the elements of the day.

Instead of spending time sifting through thousands of brands, ahead, I've rounded up some of my personal favorites from Sabon that you need in your own lineup.

1Body Butter

Body Butter

The Body Butter has a thick, whipped consistency that's perfect for giving your skin that extra level of moisture. I keep mine on hand for those especially dry areas like my ankles, elbows, and heels.

2Butter Hand Cream

I find myself washing my hands several times throughout the day, leaving them extremely dry. I'll keep this Butter Hand Cream in my purse and desk to make sure my hands are throughly moisturized.

3Moisturizing Face Cream Anti Pollution

As a New Yorker, I try to be conscious of subway fumes (yes, it's a thing) and other transmission pollutants, too. This weighted cream is designed to shield the skin from both.

43-in-1 Facial Mud Scrub Mask

3-in-1 Facial Mud Scrub Mask

A fan favorite, this mud mask makes an (almost) immediate difference in the brightness and smoothness of my skin.

5Lip Scrub

Lip Scrub

This scrub (which is out of stock for now) is perfect for combatting harsh winter winds and overall dryness of your lips. The Mango Kiwi scent is just the icing on top.

6Moisturizing Face Cream Dead Sea Collection

Silkier in texture, this cream is infused with cocoa butter to protect and hydrate the skin. I'll opt for this one if I plan to wear makeup and need a lighter consistency underneath my foundation.

7Hydro Intense Facial Sheet

Along with moisturizers, I also opt for masks infused with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and green tea.

83-in-1 Sublime Hair Mask

3-in-1 Sublime Hair Mask

3-in-1 Sublime Hair Mask

Since my hair texture is on the curlier side, it retains moisture — so I don't have to wash my hair on a daily basis. But when I do wash, I like to incorporate heavier hair masks in my routine to keep my hair hydrated underneath my winter hats and hoodies.

9Foot Cream

Foot Cream

This foot cream is perfect for cracked and dry heels. As someone who is constantly on the move, the soothing menthol and camphor helps ease my aches.

10Facial Toning Serum Anti Pollution

This vitamin C and E serum is great for my T-zone and brow bone, as both are particularly affected by cold wind.
