How to Prepare Your Skin for Winter

As the days get colder and the air drier, your skin can take a hit. Winter often brings challenges like dryness, flakiness, redness, and irritation. But with the right adjustments to your skincare routine, you can keep your skin healthy, nourished, and glowing throughout the season.

1. Switch to a Gentle Cleanser

Cleansing is essential, but many foaming cleansers can strip away natural oils. During winter, opt for a cream or gel-based cleanser that removes impurities without drying out your skin. 

2. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate

Moisture loss is one of the biggest skin concerns in winter. Invest in a richer moisturiser that creates a protective barrier against the cold. Shea butter is a powerful ingredient that locks in hydration.

To boost hydration even further, apply our Glowing Face Serum before applying your moisturiser. Packed with Sweet almond oil and Rosehip oil, it helps replenish moisture levels, brighten dull skin, and create a healthy glow even on the coldest days.

3. Don’t Skip Sunscreen

Even in winter, UV rays can damage your skin and contribute to premature aging. Snow can reflect up to 80% of UV light, making sunscreen just as important in colder months. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every morning.

4. Exfoliate Mindfully

Exfoliation removes dead skin cells and helps your moisturizer penetrate more effectively. However, over-exfoliating in winter can cause irritation. Limit it to once or twice a week, and use a gentle chemical exfoliant like lactic acid instead of harsh scrubs.

5. Protect Lips and Hands

Lips and hands are especially vulnerable to dryness and cracking. Keep a nourishing lip balm and hand cream on hand, and reapply throughout the day. Ingredients like beeswax, lanolin, and shea butter provide long-lasting relief.

6. Use a Humidifier

Indoor heating can dry out the air in your home, leaving your skin dehydrated. A humidifier adds moisture back into the air, helping your skin stay soft and supple while you sleep.

7. Adjust Your Routine to Your Skin Type

• Dry skin: Layer the Glowing Face Serum under a rich cream for maximum hydration.

• Oily skin: Use the serum alone as a lightweight hydrator, followed by a gel-based moisturiser.

• Sensitive skin: The serum’s gentle, soothing formula makes it a perfect choice to calm irritation while adding essential moisture.

Final Thoughts

Winter skincare doesn’t have to be complicated—it’s about making small adjustments that protect your skin from the cold, dry air. With the right routine, your skin can stay healthy and radiant all season long.
