Winter comes with festive cheer, cosy layers and holiday plans—but your skin doesn’t always share the excitement. As temperatures drop and humidity dips, skin can start to feel tight, dry and more sensitive than usual. Redness appears. Dry patches settle in. Even your elbows and heels demand extra attention.
The fix? A smart seasonal switch. Put away your lightweight summer actives and reach for formulas that deeply hydrate, nourish and protect your skin barrier. Think humectants that draw in moisture, emollients that soften and barrier boosters that lock it all in. Not sure where to start? We’ve done the homework for you. Add these winter skincare saviours to your routine, and let your skin stay calm, comfortable and glowing all season long.
Looking to deeply hydrate your skin without an icky, greasy residue? Hyaluronic acid should be your first port of call. As a powerful humectant, it attracts moisture from the environment and delivers it deep into the skin. Add to that the fact that it can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, and it’s easy to see why it’s a winter favourite in creams and serums alike.

Every winter, cold air and low humidity team up to strip your skin of its natural moisture. Your best defence? Ceramides. These lipids, or natural fats found in the outermost layer of the skin, act like a glue that holds skin cells together. By sealing in hydration and strengthening the skin barrier, ceramides make an essential addition to moisturising creams and lotions.
