Winter Skin, but Make It Glow: The Skincare Routine That Actually Works in Cold Weather

Winter usually makes skin look flat, dull, and dehydrated. Products that worked really well in the summer can sometimes stop performing in the winter, makeup sits differently, and your skin can start to feel tight or irritated. A winter routine needs a different approach, but it doesn’t need a long list of new products. It’s about the right steps, the right order, and formulas that protect your skin barrier.

Step 1: Switch to a gentle cleanser
Foaming and stripping cleansers pull moisture from the skin and weaken the barrier. A cream or gel-cream cleanser keeps the skin balanced and reduces tightness after washing.
