In the winter months, skin often becomes fragile and peels easily. If you know how to take care of your skin in winter, you can prevent dry skin, redness and sensitivity. Discover 4 expert winter skin care tips based on your skin concerns.
#1 Exfoliate & Cleanse
- In dry weather, skin can easily become dehydrated and peel. In addition, cold air causes the skin surface to form a layer of keratin cells that is thicker than in other seasons. Therefore, the skin needs to remove dead cells to help the following skin care steps be more effective.
- During the winter, you should use a cream-based moisturizing cleanser to hydrate your skin. Pay special attention to cleaning ingredients and scents to avoid dry skin after washing your face.
Dermalogica recommends cream cleanser Intensive Moisture Cleanser. Product Clean for winter days without worrying about dryness. The formula combines a lipid-rich biological supplement that deeply cleanses and minimizes the impact of essential proteins and lipid membranes. Provides a soft, smooth feeling against dryness after washing your face.
Maintaining correct and sufficient cleansing steps is the factor that prevents the skin's protective barrier from being broken. If you want to protect this liquid layer effectively, our experts will give more detailed instructions with tips 2 and 3.
#2 Increase water intake
The simplest way that our experts suggest to you is the habit of nourishing your skin. Specifically, maintaining water and moisture levels so that the skin is always in a state of vitality.
Moisture Restoring Mask
Deeply nourishing and rehydrating masks are the simplest winter skin care. This step has the benefits of restoring balance, providing moisture and enhancing skin elasticity.

Invest in a humidifier to keep your skin balanced
In the winter months, outdoor air often holds less water and is drier and colder. You should invest in a humidifier in your home or at your desk. This helps maintain and restore moisture to the air so the skin stays hydrated. The humidity level around the living or working space should be maintained between 30 - 50%. If you are not sure about the humidity information of the machine or in your room. Choose product lines that integrate smart new technology for accurate measurements.
Eat right & drink enough water
Diet and drinking enough water help keep your skin from absorbing water when it's cold. For effective winter skin care, you can replace coffee with green tea to increase antioxidants. Avoid eating processed foods high in sugar. You should supplement foods rich in vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids. This not only keeps the skin healthy but also helps the body always have plenty of energy.
