The Ultimate Winter Skin Care Routine

Brrrr. Winter is here, and for many of us, that means dealing with colder weather, which can lead to dry, itchy skin. But don’t fret; we’ve put together a guide with the best tips and products to help you master winter skin care.

3 Reasons Your Skin is Drier in Winter

  • The Elements ~ The cold air and increased winds in the winter can draw moisture out of your skin and cause it to become chapped
  • Indoor Heating ~ The heating in buildings has a lower relative humidity than the colder air outside so it pulls moisture out of your skin
  • Hotter Water ~ When the temperature drops, we have a tendency to run hotter water in our showers and when washing our hands to help us keep warm. That hot water is more drying than the cooler showers you take when the weather is nice

Ways to Minimize the Effects of Winter on Your Skin

Switch out your cleansers

If your skin feels dry after cleansing opt for a cleanser that also moisturizes the skin. Using a moisturizing cleanser in winter helps maintain your skin’s natural hydration while gently removing impurities, preventing dryness and irritation caused by cold weather and indoor heating. It ensures your skin stays soft, balanced, and protected from harsh environmental conditions.

  • Belif Aqua Bomb Jelly Cleanser – Cleanse with a burst of hydration! This jelly-to-foam cleanser creates the same explosive burst of hydration as belif’s cult favorite The True Cream Aqua Bomb. Formulated with amino acids and glycerin-based cleansing agents, it gently removes makeup and impurities without stripping skin of moisture. Great for all skin types.
  • Isa Knox LXNEW Clean Nourishing Cream Cleanser – Wash up with a luxurious cream cleanser infused with panthenol and soothing rosemary and soapwort extracts. The nourishing formula gently removes makeup and impurities while restoring moisture for a soft, smooth and healthy look.

Exfoliate Regularly

Exfoliating should be part of your regular routine year round, but in winter you may find you need to do it more often. Exfoliating in winter helps remove dry, flaky skin caused by cold weather, allowing moisturizers to penetrate better and keeping your skin smooth and hydrated. It also promotes cell turnover, giving your complexion a healthy, refreshed glow despite the harsh conditions.

  • Isa Knox Anew Clinical Collagen Booster Microneedling Polisher – A highly effective combination of gentle exfoliators polishes away dull skin cells, diminishes the look of fine lines and wrinkles, and improves the appearance of pores for a smoother, more youthful look. You’ll see radiance reignited, fine lines and wrinkles reduced and skin re-plumped…and remarkably renewed.
  • Anew Vitamin C Exfoliating Peel Pads – Reveal a smoother, more luminous complexion with these exfoliating pads that are soaked in a gentle blend of exfoliating PHA and pineapple extract. Formulated with vitamin C to help visibly brighten.

Add Extra Moisture

Winter is a good time to switch out your moisturizer for a heavier or more moisturizing formula. Another option is to keep your regular moisturizer and add an extra moisturizing step like using a bath oil or moisturizing more often.

For Face:

  • Beyond Glow Niacinamide 2% Cream Mist – Deliver an instant boost of hydration to your skin with this creamy, fast-absorbing spray-on serum that can be used under or over makeup.
  • Avon Solutions Nurtura Replenishing Cream – a staple in Avon’s skincare lineup for years, appreciated for its deeply moisturizing properties. It has a loyal following and is often highlighted for use on dry skin, especially during colder month.
  • Anew Hydra Fusion Gel Cream – The water-like gel absorbs instantly making skin appear smoother, refreshed and plumped with hydration. Contains hyaluronic acid, a super hydrator naturally found in skin and lost over time that holds more than 1,000 times its weight in water so skin looks smooth, refreshed and vibrant
  • belif The True Cream Moisturizing Bomb – A lightweight yet indulgent cream, with a comforting, cushiony, whipped texture. Envelops skin with an intense, long-lasting moisture for a look and feel that’s smooth, supple and deeply nourished.

For Body:

  • Moisture Therapy Intensive Healing & Repair Extra Strength Cream – The richest, and creamiest formula in the Intensive Healing & Repair line, designed to provide deep hydration for extremely dry or sensitive skin. It is a rich, fragrance-free formula that helps soothe and repair cracked, rough, or scaly skin, making it particularly effective for winter months. The cream absorbs well, leaving skin feeling soft and hydrated throughout the day.
  • Skin So Soft Bath Oils – Our iconic bath oils turn dry or rough skin silky smooth faster than you thought possible. Add to your bath water to moisturize while you bathe or apply directly to skin at the end of your shower. Follow with Skin So Soft Body Lotion or your favorite body lotion for an additional boost of moisture
  • Avon Skin So Soft Pure Nature Body Cream – Be kind to your skin and the earth with our clean, plant-infused body cream. Moisturizing formula features naturally derived ingredients like nourishing green tea extract, olive oil and ginger root extract, and leaves skin feeling soft and smooth. Eucalyptus mint scent provides a refreshing experience.

Ditch the Itch

If your winter dry skin comes with a side of itchiness and sensitivity. Choosing a hypoallergenic, fragrance free calming formula for instant relief can ease your discomfort.

  • Physiogel Calming Relief Redness Relieving Lotion – Lightweight, quickly absorbed lotion provides immediate and long-lasting hydration to dry, sensitive,and irritated skin. Clinically proven to help reduce redness in 7 days.
  • Moisture Therapy Bonus-Size Calming Relief Body Lotion – This extra rich, fragrance-free lotion with HydraBoost Technology is clinically shown to provide immediate moisturization and improve skin’s natural protective barrier. It relieves the roughness and appearance of redness associated with extremely dry skin. Instantly soothes and relieves dry, itchy skin.

Shorten Your Shower

Hot Water and steam dries out your skin. Shortening your shower by as little as 3-5 minutes, or even just turning down the temperature can minimize the drying effect on your skin.
