Winter Skin Prep: 5 Tips to Deeply Hydrate and Protect
As winter’s chill settles in, your skin deserves an extra layer of care. The colder months often feeling tight, flaky, or dull. Now is the time to slow down, nourish deeply, and honour your skin’s need for moisture and protection. Here are five essential tips to help keep your skin radiant, calm, and hydrated all season long:
Layer Nourishment with Intention
Winter skin craves more than surface moisture — it needs nourishment that sinks deep. Opt for rich, antioxidant-rich oils that replenish your skin’s barrier and support its natural glow. Applied after cleansing or blended with your moisturiser, a well-chosen oil locks in hydration and restores radiance, even on the dullest days.
Use a Humidifier
Indoor heating can sap moisture from your skin. A humidifier helps restore hydration to the air around you, supporting your skin’s ability to stay supple. Pair this environmental support withovernight treatments that work while you rest, allowing deeper nourishment when your skin is most receptive.
Gentle Cleansing
Keep your cleansing routine soft and supportive. Harsh foaming cleansers can disrupt the skin barrier, especially when it's already under pressure from the cold. Reach for gentle, oil-based or cream cleansers that remove impurities while replenishing essential lipids, leaving your skin calm and comforted.
Exfoliate with Care
Dry, flaky skin is common in winter, but over-exfoliating can do more harm than good. Choose gentle exfoliants and use them sparingly — once or twice a week is enough. Follow with hydrating treatments that soothe and seal in moisture for long-lasting softness.
Protect Daily with SPF
Yes, even in winter. UV rays don’t hibernate, and snow can reflect sunlight, intensifying exposure. A daily SPF is non-negotiable for protecting your skin from premature ageing and pigmentation — even when the skies are grey.
