When the temperature drops, your skin can be left feeling the effects of not just the cold wind but also the indoor heating on blast. Putting your skin through it all can have adverse effects, including dryness, cracking, tightness and irritation.
It’s sometimes an investment for some people who already struggle with dry skin, but that doesn’t mean there aren't some products and tips out there that can help you on your winter skin journey.
Here are a few simple steps and changes you can make to your routine to keep your skin healthy and glowing all winter long.
Switch to a Richer Moisturiser
During winter, your usual lightweight lotion might not be enough, but you might already have a thicker moisturiser if you have dry skin. Be sure to double down on this product. The cold air outside and dry heat indoors can deplete your skin’s natural moisture barrier, which can leave your skin exposed and easily damaged.
Choose a thicker, cream-based moisturiser with nourishing ingredients like shea butter, ceramides, or hyaluronic acid, nicinaminde and other peptides to keep that glow but also provide a strong moisture barrier.
Apply it right after bathing while your skin is still slightly damp to lock in hydration. But also be sure to apply a thick layer.
Don’t forget areas like your hands, elbows, and lips, which tend to dry out faster.

Don't Skip SPF
Even though it’s cloudy and cold, UV rays are still present, and snow can reflect up to 80% of UV light, increasing your exposure. This can damage your skin barrier and and contribute to skin conditions such as pigmentation, dryness and so forth. Your SPF routine should be a consistent and daily must, even during the winter months and the days you don’t leave the house.
What to do:
- Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily, especially on your face, neck, and hands.
- Look for a moisturiser with SPF for convenience.
- Reapply sunscreen if you spend long hours outdoors or near windows.
