As the seasons change, so should your beauty routine. While summer calls for lightweight hydration and sun protection, winter demands deeper nourishment, extra moisture, and protection from cold, dry air. Here’s how to adjust your skincare, haircare, and overall beauty habits to glow through the chill.
1. Swap Lightweight Moisturizers for Rich Creams
In summer, gel-based moisturizers work well. But winter air is harsh and drying. Switch to:
Thicker, cream-based moisturizers
Products with ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and shea butter
This helps lock in hydration and prevent dry patches.
2. Use Gentle, Hydrating Cleansers
Ditch foaming or gel cleansers that strip natural oils. Instead:
Choose cream or oil-based cleansers
Avoid alcohol-based toners
Limit hot water usage during face washes
3. Add a Hydrating Serum
Serums rich in hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, or vitamin E provide an extra layer of hydration beneath your moisturizer. Apply them to damp skin for best results.
4. Don't Forget Lip and Hand Care
Cold air causes chapped lips and cracked hands. Keep these on hand:
Lip balm with lanolin or beeswax
Hand cream with glycerin or shea butter
Reapply throughout the day, especially after washing.
5. Keep Using Sunscreen
Yes, even in winter! UV rays are present year-round and can cause skin damage even on cloudy days. Opt for:
Broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher
Moisturizing sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide
6. Nourish Your Hair and Scalp
The shift in humidity can dry out your hair. Combat this by:
Using hair masks once a week
Switching to a hydrating shampoo and conditioner
Applying leave-in serums or oils to prevent frizz and split ends
7. Exfoliate—but Not Too Much
Exfoliating removes dead skin cells, but overdoing it can irritate already-sensitive winter skin. Instead:
Limit exfoliation to once a week
Use gentle scrubs or chemical exfoliants like lactic acid
8. Support Your Skin from the Inside
Stay hydrated even if you don’t feel thirsty
Eat foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin C, and antioxidants
Consider a humidifier indoors to add moisture to dry air.
