Winter Skin Care: 7 Tips to Keep Your Skin Healthy in Dry Weather

Dry Winter, Drier Skin?


Winter may bring cosy sweaters, but it also brings dryness, flakiness, and irritation.

Here’s how to keep your skin glowing all season long!

1. Moisturise Right After Bathing


Lock in moisture by applying lotion or cream immediately after your shower. Go for thicker, oil-based moisturizers during winters.

2. Switch to a Gentle Cleanser


Avoid harsh soaps. Use a mild, hydrating cleanser that doesn’t strip your skin of its natural oils.

3. Hydrate from Within


Drink enough water even if you don’t feel thirsty. Herbal teas and soups can also help maintain your hydration levels.

4. Avoid Hot Showers


Long, hot showers can dry out your skin. Use lukewarm water instead to protect your skin’s natural barrier.

5. Use a Humidifier


Indoor heaters can make the air dry. A humidifier adds moisture back into your room — and your skin will thank you for it!

6. Protect Your Skin Outdoors


Cold winds can chap your lips and cheeks. Always wear gloves, scarves, and lip balm before stepping out

7. Don’t Skip Sunscreen


Even in winter, UV rays can damage your skin. Apply SPF 30 or higher every morning before going out.

Bonus Tip: Exfoliate Weekly


Remove dead skin cells gently once a week to help your moisturizer work better and keep your skin radiant.

Stay Glowing This Winter!


With a little care and the right routine, your skin can stay soft, smooth, and healthy — no matter how cold it gets.
