A Simple Skincare Routine for Dry Winter Weather

When temperatures drop, skin often becomes tight, flaky and dull. You do not need a long list of products to fix it, just a few well-chosen steps.

Morning

  1. Rinse with lukewarm water or use a mild cleanser.
  2. Apply a light moisturiser while skin is still slightly damp.
  3. Finish with sunscreen, because UV is present even on cool days.

Evening

  1. Cleanse gently to remove the day.
  2. Apply a richer night cream. Repair creams work best here.
  3. Add a little extra on dry spots such as cheeks and around the nose.
Winter skin needs more moisture and gentler cleansing.

Small habits that help

  • Avoid very hot showers, which strip natural oils.
  • Drink enough water through the day.
  • Use a humidifier or a bowl of water near the heater.
  • Do not exfoliate more than once or twice a week.

Patch test any new product on your inner arm for a day before using it on your face, especially if you have sensitive skin.
