#1: STICK TO GENTLE CLEANSERS

Cleansing impurities from skin helps keep the skin moisture barrier intact, but it’s important to use formulas that won’t rob your skin of natural oils. Choose a conditioning face wash to clean skin in winter without drying it out.

#2: ADD A FACIAL OIL TO YOUR ROUTINE

Facial oil is one of the most valuable skincare products for addressing specific complexion concerns. To support dry winter skin, find the best facial oil for your skin type and look for ingredients that deliver moisture, improve tone and texture, and boost brightness.

#3: TURN DOWN THE HEAT

Hot showers and central heating are tempting to help keep warm in winter, but the benefits don’t always outweigh the costs. Direct exposure to hot water can affect skin’s natural oils while central heating dries out the surrounding air, leading to moisture loss.

#4: USE A HYDRATING MOISTURISER

Useful year round, hydrating moisturisers are an important element of skincare in winter for dry skin. Choose an ultra-nourishing formula with a rich and creamy texture designed to hydrate and enhance moisture retention.

#5: OPT FOR A NOURISHING FACE MASK

Sometimes, winter dry skin is unavoidable. When the forecast includes rain or brittle wind, supplement your winter skin care routine with a nourishing face mask. Avocado Nourishing Hydration Mask conditions skin with avocado extract and oil to reinstate the look and feel of a hydrated complexion.

#6: FOCUS ON MOISTURE WITH A NIGHT TIME SKIN ROUTINE

Skin is at its most permeable during sleep, which provides an opportunity to hydrate deeper layers. Before bed, supplement your skincare with hydrating plant extracts by applying an evening moisturiser like Ultra Facial Overnight Hydrating Mask followed by a complexion refining evening facial oil like Midnight Recovery Concentrate.

#7: DON’T SKIP EXFOLIATION

Exfoliating cleansers can be used to brighten skin by clearing away build-up of dead skin which allows new skin to surface. At least once a week, use a gentle exfoliating cleanser like Clearly Corrective™ Brightening & Exfoliating Daily Cleanser, formulated with pearlstone to boost radiance. For men’s skin, we recommend Facial Fuel Energizing Scrub to clean away dead skin cells, dirt and oil while helping to soften facial hairs for a more comfortable, close shave.

#8: ALWAYS USE SPF

Exposure to UV rays can damage the skin moisture barrier even on cold days. While there are ways to care for a damaged skin moisture barrier, prevention is always preferable. Incorporate SPF into your skincare routine for winter (and all year round).

#9: CARRY A HAND SALVE WITH YOU

Like the face, hands are exposed to the winter air more than most areas of the body – so they’re prone to dryness and flaking. In terms of winter skin tips for hands, carry a nourishing hand cream with you - Ultimate Strength Hand Salve softens and conditions hands with the benefits of avocado oil for skin.

#10: USE A BODY MOISTURISER REGULARLY

Dry skin in winter doesn’t just affect complexions, so hydrating body care can be beneficial to support skin elsewhere. With a rich, non-greasy formula infused with cocoa butter, beta-carotene and squalene, Crème de Corps is an ideal skincare product for winter to moisturise dry skin and improve texture.
