How to Prevent Dry Winter Skin

When temperatures drop and indoor heating kicks in, humidity plummets — and skin loses moisture fast. The result is tightness, flaking and more visible fine lines. A few adjustments keep skin comfortable all season.

Why winter dries skin out

Cold air holds less moisture, heating dehydrates indoor environments, and hot showers strip the skin's protective oils. Together they weaken the barrier that keeps water in, leaving skin prone to dryness and dehydration.

Your winter defence plan

• Switch to a gentler, non-stripping cleanser like the Revive & Renew Cleanser.
• Layer a humectant such as our Hyaluronic Acid Serum under a richer moisturiser to seal it in.
• Lower shower temperature and moisturise while skin is still damp.
• Keep wearing SPF — winter sun and reflection still cause damage.

Lasting hydration

The Environmental Age Defense Moisture Cloud hydrates and shields against environmental stress, while Cream Extreme Intensive Repair provides richer nourishment for very dry skin.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my skin flaky even though it's oily?

Dehydration and dryness are different — skin can be oily yet dehydrated. Add a water-binding humectant rather than only heavier creams.

How hot is too hot for showers?

Lukewarm is best. Very hot water strips protective oils and worsens dryness.
