Winter Skincare: How to Combat Dryness and Flakiness

Winter can be harsh on your skin, with cold temperatures and dry air stripping away moisture and leaving your complexion dull, flaky, and uncomfortable. However, with the right skincare routine and expert guidance, you can keep your skin hydrated, smooth, and glowing all season long.

Why Does Skin Dry Out in Winter?

Winter weather brings low humidity levels and cold winds, which deplete your skin's natural moisture barrier. Indoor heating adds to the problem, making the air even drier. These factors lead to:

• Tight, itchy skin

• Flakiness and rough patches

• Increased sensitivity

How to Combat Dryness and Flakiness

1. Switch to a Hydrating Cleanser:
   Avoid harsh, foaming cleansers that strip natural oils. Instead, choose a creamy, hydrating formula that cleanses without drying.

2. Use a Rich Moisturizer:
   Opt for moisturizers with ingredients like ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and glycerin. These help lock in moisture and repair your skin’s barrier.

3. Exfoliate Gently:
   Exfoliation removes dead skin cells that contribute to flakiness. Use a mild chemical exfoliant like lactic acid 1–2 times a week to keep skin smooth without irritation.

4. Incorporate a Face Oil:
   Add a nourishing face oil to your routine to provide an extra layer of hydration and protect against moisture loss.

5. Don’t Forget Sunscreen:
   UV rays can damage your skin even in winter. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF daily to protect your skin from premature aging.

6. Invest in a Humidifier:
   Combat dry indoor air by using a humidifier, especially while you sleep. It helps your skin retain moisture overnight.
