Your face
Your face can take a bit of a battering from blustery winds and the freezing cold. Return those rosy cheeks to supple soft feeling skin with our winter skincare moisturisers.
Winter skincare
Baby, it’s cold outside. And you know what that means: dehydrated skin – a result of those biting winds and cooler temperatures. If you can’t wait for warmer weather, stick with us while we explain what to expect, where to expect it and – crucially – what you can do to keep your skin looking and feeling softer, smoother, hydrated and protected.
Winter skincare essentials
Let’s start with a quick overview. When temperatures drop and wind cuts like ice, these are the main areas where you can expect your skin to be affected.
Your hands
Woolly gloves can only go so far towards keeping your hands soft when things get nippy. Help moisturise your fingertips before they clasp that nice hot cuppa.
Your lips
Taking care of your lips in the winter is incredibly important. Leave them exposed and unprotected, and you may well end up feeling rather uncomfortable.
Your eyes
Cold, dry winds = not great for your delicate eye area. Remember, if you look out for your eyes, they’ll look out for you.

Why should you change your skincare routine in winter?
Winter weather conditions can take a toll on your face and body – as the temperatures drop, so too do the moisture levels in your skin. Cold temperatures and harsh winds can cause skin to dry out and lose its natural, healthy-looking glow.
As well as winter weather, central heating can cause the air to dry out, which can then cause your skin to dehydrate. The colder and darker winter months can also deplete your skin of nutrients (including vitamin D), which can cause skin to look dull and uneven.
When skin is dry, it can begin to feel rough, tight and more sensitive. Dry skin can develop on any part of the body and is especially common on the face during winter because it is more exposed to the weather. When your skin begins to lose its moisture and become dehydrated, it means it’s lacking the water levels needed to function effectively, and it can lose its softness, suppleness and natural-looking glow.
