Winter Skin SOS: Hydration Hacks for Dull, Dry Skin

in Apr 19, 2025

Winter isn’t exactly kind to your skin, is it? Between the chilly temps, harsh winds, and cranked-up indoor heat, it’s no wonder your skin feels tight, flaky, and irritated. You may be experiencing rough texture that no amount of makeup seems to smooth over, or redness creeping in around your nose and cheeks!

If you feel like your skin begging for help, it is! But don’t worry—we’ve got some dry skin remedies to rescue to rescue and restore your complexion quickly!

1. Swap to a Gentle Cleanser

Foaming or harsh cleansers can strip your skin and wreak havoc on your barrier. Switch to a creamy, hydrating cleanser like our Crème Cleanser,which gently cleanses without leaving your skin feeling dry and tight. This luxurious cleanser is enriched with prickly pear, known for its soothing and hydrating properties, and helps maintain a healthy, hydrated barrier!

2. Lock in and Layer on Hydration

After cleansing, apply a hydrating serum to deliver a concentrated dose of moisture to your skin. Seal it in with a moisturizer rich in ceramides or peptides to lock hydration in and restore your skin barrier.

A well-hydrated barrier is less likely to break down, reducing the risk of irritation and sensitivity.

3. Use Humectants Wisely

Adding a humidifier to your home is one of the best ways to combat dry air. At night, pair it with a nourishing night cream to wake up with plump, hydrated skin.

4. Don’t Skip Sunscreen

Yes, even in the winter! UV rays can still damage your skin, so apply a broad-spectrum SPF to protect against premature aging and hyperpigmentation.

5. Exfoliate Gently

Dry skin can cause a buildup of dead skin cells, making your complexion look dull. Incorporate a gentle exfoliating serum—like one with lactic acid—to remove dead skin while boosting hydration.
