Winter is that cheeky season that’ll leave you shivering and with skin drier than last week’s toast! But this skincare guide has got you covered with all the winter skincare essentials you need this season to stay glowing, hydrated, and ready to take on even the chilliest of days whatsoever! 

1. Swap Your Lightweight Moisturiser for a Winter Warrior

Winter skincare calls for serious hydration! Swap out your light summer lotion for a rich, creamy moisturiser that won’t let your skin crack under pressure. Ingredients like shea butter and almond oil are your winter BFFs—they help form a protective barrier and keep that hydration locked in all day.

2. Embrace Body Butters Like a Boss

Skin dries out faster in this cold season? Body butters are the answer. These special winter skincare products are thicker than your average lotion and melt right into the skin. Slather on a lush layer after a shower, and you’re good to glow!

3. Ultra-Hydrating Lip Balm = No More Bleeding Chapped Lips!

Nothing says ‘ouch’ like chapped winter lips. A hydrating lip balm with natural oils like jojoba and avocado oil will do wonders, keeping your lips soft and luscious despite the chill.

4. Exfoliate, But Go Easy!

Exfoliation is essential for a smooth, radiant complexion—but go gentle. A light scrub once or twice a week removes dead skin without making your skin feel like the Sahara. Bonus: exfoliated skin soaks up moisturiser better, making it a winter skincare must-have.

5. Humidifier = Skincare’s Winter Bliss

Winter air indoors can be drier. Add a humidifier to your winter skincare routine, and you’ll wake up with plumper, softer skin. This tiny tool makes a big difference, especially overnight.

6. Warm Showers Only, Please!

Hot showers might sound tempting, but they can strip your skin’s natural oils faster than you can say “moisturise.” Keep the water warm instead of burning hot, and then slather on body butter or lotion right after stepping out.

7. Switch to a Gentle Face Wash

Gentle cleansers are your go-to for winter skincare because they cleanse without robbing your skin of moisture. Check out our Oat Milk Face Wash here! It’s made of real oat milk, glycerin, and everything nourishing! Just the perfect cleanser for all skin types to combat dryness this season.

8. Layer on a Face Oil

Face oils are the cherry on top of your winter skincare routine. Non-comedogenic oils like rosehip or argan oil lock in moisture and add a dewy glow that says, “Yes, I am thriving.” Dab on a few drops over your moisturiser for max effect.

9. Sunscreen Even in Winter (Yep, You Heard Right)

Just because it’s cloudy doesn’t mean the sun’s taking a break. UV rays still sneak through, making sunscreen a non-negotiable product for your skin. A broad-spectrum SPF will keep your skin safe and spot-free year-round.

10. Drink Up!

You can pile on all the skincare products, but hydration starts from within. Drink plenty of water, and toss in hydrating foods like cucumbers and oranges for an added boost. It’s the ultimate winter skincare tip that never fails.

Bonus Tips:

Layer, Layer, Layer – Try layering a hydrating serum under your moisturiser for an extra boost.

With this winter skincare guide in hand, you’ll be more than ready to tackle the frosty season with soft, hydrated skin that glows! Cheers to radiant, winter-proof skin!
