Post Beauty Report: Top deals on the juiciest lip gloss and my dry skin fixes

We’re in the pinnacle of dry skin, and it’s not cute.

We’re only a few weeks into 2026 and our skin is parched, we’re looking up Ina Garten soup recipes and preparing for the million inches of snow we’re about to get this weekend.

Me? I’m rejoicing – it’s a golden-ticket opportunity to cozy up with a sheet mask, take a bubble bath with the goop Bath Salts that have been sitting by my bathtub for months and soak up my skincare routine.

But, not before I share deals and latest obsessions. In this edition of the Post Beauty Report, you’re finding some can’t-miss deals that will help your wintertime dry skin, along with some products that I can’t shut up about at this very moment. Plus, I have promo codes for you!

Ahead, shop the below sales and (equally as important) products I’ve been flaunting to my friends on FaceTime. This is a Beauty Report you don’t want to miss. Consider it the Winter Dry Skin Diaries.

First up, the OG in dry skin creams. I’ve been using this since middle school and it still sits pretty on my shelf. Made for sensitive skin, it hydrates like a champ. Not to mention, its colloidal oatmeal ingredient is ultra-soothing. It’s finally on sale for less than $30.
