How to Transition Your Skincare Routine for Winter.
Protect, hydrate, and glow through the coldest months
As the seasons change, so should your skincare. Cold air, indoor heating, and low humidity can strip your skin of moisture, leaving it dull, tight, and irritated. Here’s how to adjust your routine to keep your skin healthy and radiant all winter long:

1. Switch to a Creamier Cleanser
In winter, ditch the foaming or gel cleansers (which can be drying) and opt for cream- or oil-based cleansers that nourish while they clean. Look for ingredients like ceramides, glycerin, or squalane.
Pro Tip: Avoid hot water—use lukewarm instead to prevent stripping natural oils.
2. Layer Hydration
Hydration is key in winter skincare. Use a hydrating toner or essence, followed by a hyaluronic acid serum to lock in moisture.
Try: Applying your serum to slightly damp skin to boost absorption.
3. Upgrade Your Moisturizer
Lighter lotions may not cut it. Switch to a richer moisturizer that contains emollients like shea butter, jojoba oil, or peptides.
Bonus: Consider a night cream or sleeping mask for deeper overnight repair.
4. Don’t Skip Sunscreen
Just because it’s cloudy doesn’t mean you’re safe from UV rays. Use SPF 30 or higher daily to protect your skin from sun damage—even in winter.
5. Exfoliate… Gently
Cold weather can lead to flaky skin, but over-exfoliating will make it worse. Use gentle exfoliants 1–2 times a week to slough off dead cells and allow better product absorption.
Recommended: Enzyme peels or lactic acid for sensitive, dry-prone skin.
6. Add Nourishing Masks & Treatments
Incorporate hydrating masks, facial oils, or professional treatments (like our Enzyme Peel + Vitamin C Mask) into your weekly routine for a deep boost.
7. Humidify Your Space
Indoor heating dries out the air—and your skin. A humidifier in your bedroom can help maintain skin hydration overnight.
