As temperatures drop during the fall and winter seasons, you may notice that your skin becomes drier, flakier, and rougher. The combination of dry air, indoor heating, and low humidity levels weakens your skin’s ability to trap humidity and moisture, resulting in a dry complexion. However, with only a few skincare adjustments, you can say goodbye to parched skin and regain your moisturized, radiant glow all season.

Incorporate a hydrating cream into your routine to help lock in skin moisture during the cold season. Hot showers and baths strip away your skin’s natural oils, reducing its ability to trap moisture. It’s best to apply a moisturizing face lotion while your skin is still moist, as it helps it maintain a healthy look. Stay clear from alcohol-based products and exfoliants, as they tend to accelerate water loss and instead look for products with ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid and Ceramide Complex to increase and maintain hydration, such as Omnia All-In-One Skin Perfector. 

Protect your skin from exposure to cold, dry air as it minimizes gradual moisture loss. Anytime you plan to head outdoors, ensure you cover up the exposed sections of your body using winter wear. Additionally, shift to wear wool-based, warm clothing as it helps your body fight against moisture loss and minimizes conditions for dry skin.

An easy solution to dealing with dry skin during the cold season is embracing a nighttime skin routine. Products containing hyaluronic acid, plant-based oils, and anti-oxidants promote collagen production, encouraging cellular skin repair and improving skin health. Overnight skincare will reinforce your skin’s moisture barrier, helping it withstand water loss and dry conditions.

The combination of radiator heat and dry air during the cold season can exacerbate moisture loss from your body, negatively affecting your skin’s ability to regenerate. One solution to this problem is to mist your bedroom and house, which helps increase room humidity levels and prevent your skin from losing additional moisture. A humidifier acts as a natural moisturizing agent that relieves your skin from dryness. Another option is to use facial mist products that contain glycerin to provide instant relief from dryness.
