Get glowing with these top-rated body butters, lotions and more for cold winter months

As a longtime beauty editor and self-proclaimed glow-getter, I know a thing or five about keeping your skin hydrated -- especially during the winter months.

"During the winter months, you'll want to show your skin barrier some extra TLC," board-certified dermatologist Dr. Whitney Bowe previously told "Good Morning America."

"Your skin barrier is like a protective shield that traps and holds moisture, but prevents allergens, irritants and pollutants from getting into the skin and causing irritation. As the air becomes colder and dryer, and as we crank up the indoor heat, this is all a recipe for a compromised skin barrier," Bowe added. "Hydrated skin is supple, plump, healthy skin."

After testing hundreds of different lotions, potions and more through the years, I've come across some clear standouts -- old and new -- that are worthy of holding a spot in your winter grooming routine.

Whether you're searching for drugstore-friendly buys or open to adding something a little more prestige to your winter body care lineup, there's something for everyone.

Ahead, check out some of the best and top-rated lotions, body butters and more to leave your skin feeling hydrated and fresh all season long.
