As temperatures drop, dry and cold weather can take a noticeable toll on the skin, making proper care especially important during winter months. Cold air outside combined with indoor heating strips the skin of its natural moisture, often leading to dryness, irritation, and flakiness. To prevent this, it’s best to use a gentle cleanser that cleans without removing essential oils; our favorite is the One Love Organics Vitamin B Cleansing Oil. Moisturizing becomes crucial and applying a rich cream or ointment right after bathing helps seal in hydration when skin is most receptive. An affordable option that has been deemed the “miracle ointment” is the Soothe and Protect Recovery Balm, combating even the driest skin.

Long, hot showers may feel comforting in winter, but they can worsen dryness, so shorter, lukewarm showers are a better choice. Using a humidifier indoors can also help restore moisture to the air, benefiting both skin and overall comfort. Even in winter, sunscreen remains important, as sun exposure and wind can still cause damage. Protecting exposed skin with gloves and scarves, staying hydrated, and eating nutrient-rich foods all support the skin’s natural barrier, keeping it healthier and more resilient throughout the cold season.
