Winter Skin Defense

Winter exposes weaknesses in most skincare routines. Cold air, indoor heating, and reduced humidity all place stress on the skin barrier, often before symptoms are visible.

The goal of winter skin care is not treatment — it is defense. Supporting the barrier early prevents irritation, dryness, and inflammation later.

What Changes in Cold Weather

Lower humidity pulls moisture from the skin. Hot showers strip natural oils. Indoor heating accelerates dehydration. Together, these factors weaken the skin’s ability to protect itself.

• Increased transepidermal water loss
• Reduced oil production
• Higher sensitivity and redness

Adjusting the Routine

Winter routines should simplify rather than expand. Fewer products, applied more intentionally, allow the skin barrier to stabilize.

"When the barrier is strong, the skin takes care of the rest."

Winter skin care is about restraint. Protect first. Correct later — if needed.
