Winter is here in full force, and with it comes that familiar seasonal shift in my skin. The combination of dry air, chilly winds, and indoor heating always leaves my face feeling tight and a bit lackluster. That’s why I like to change up my skincare routine this time of year—focusing more on hydration, barrier support, and comfort. Thankfully, Sisley Paris recently sent me a beautiful selection of products that couldn’t have arrived at a better time.
Each one feels like a treat for winter-worn skin, and they’ve quickly become staples in my routine.
Black Rose Precious Face Oil SHOP
Let me start with my absolute favorite: the Black Rose Precious Face Oil. This is Sisley’s first oil designed specifically for dry or mature skin, and it’s divine. The texture is silky and lightweight, absorbing quickly without any greasy residue. What makes it special, is the blend of powerful botanical ingredients. It’s rich in omega 3 and 6, which help prep the skin and boost resilience, while plum and camelina oils work to restore the lipid barrier.
The heart of the formula is black rose extract, known for its smoothing and softening properties. It also features essential oils of Bulgarian rose and magnolia, which lend the most beautiful, calming scent. I use about five drops on clean skin before moisturiser in the evening, and my skin drinks it up. It instantly feels nourished, soothed, and plumper.
Eye Contour Mask SHOP
If your under-eyes tend to betray signs of fatigue in winter (like mine do), the Eye Contour Mask is a must. This is more than a quick fix—it’s an express treatment that works in just 10 minutes to refresh and smooth the eye area.
It’s packed with plant-based actives like ginkgo biloba, arnica, horse chestnut, and linden blossom, all known for their de-puffing and calming properties. There’s also provitamin B5 and vitamin E for hydration and protection, plus mineral-rich chlorella and malachite. I apply a generous layer two or three times a week, and after wiping away the excess, I’m left with visibly less puffiness and fine lines. The results are immediate, but there’s also a lasting effect that keeps my eyes looking well-rested.
Phyto-Hydra Teint Tinted Moisturizer SHOP
For daytime, I’ve been reaching for the Phyto-Hydra Teint Tinted Moisturizer. It’s part skincare, part makeup—and exactly what I want when I need a bit of polish without layering on heavy foundation.
The texture is beautifully lightweight, almost serum-like, and it melts into the skin with a soft, natural finish. The formula includes white lily extract to hydrate and soothe, a fruity cocktail of plant extracts to smooth and refine, and buckwheat seed extract for added protection against environmental stressors. The result? My complexion looks even and luminous with minimal effort, and it still feels like my skin.
Phyto Lip Balm SHOP
No winter routine is complete without a great lip balm, and Sisley’s Phyto Lip Balm is both functional and luxurious. It’s ultra-nourishing thanks to shea butter and the brand’s signature Hydrobooster complex, and it gives my lips a soft, fuller appearance right away.
Over time, ingredients like padina pavonica and vitamin E work to protect and repair, keeping dryness and chapping at bay. Four shades are available: Cloud (pictured), Pink Glow and Rose.
These four Sisley products have honestly transformed my winter routine. Not only are they incredibly effective, but they also turn my skincare into a moment of self-care—something we all need a little more of during the colder months. If your skin is craving comfort, hydration, and a touch of luxury, these are well worth trying.
