Add humectants to your skincare routine. Humectants are ingredients that attract moisture from the environment and hold it to the skin’s surface. They play an essential part in hydrating the skin. Popular humectants include Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerine, Urea, and Propylene Glycol.

Opt for products with occulives to prevent water loss. Occlusives are moisturising ingredients that create a physical barrier on the skin to prevent transepidermal water loss and lock in hydration. Petroleum, Lanolin, Waxes, Plant and Mineral oils, and Dimethicone are some of the most commonly used occlusive agents.

Steer clear of harsh ingredients. Lower temperatures can cause the skin to be sensitive and easily irritated. It’s best to skip products that contain ingredients like alcohol, SLS, or astringent as they rip your skin off its natural hydration. In addition, avoid heavily fragranced products that might increase the skin’s sensitivity issues.

Wear sunscreen every day. It can be tempting to cut that sunblock out of your daily morning routine, considering the shorter days and reduced intensity of sunlight in the winters. However, that doesn’t mean your skin is immune to sun damage. Even during the colder months, harmful UV rays compromise your skin barrier and cause a host of problems. These problems include dehydrated skin and various signs of photoaging like dark spots, blotches, wrinkles, roughness, and discolouration..
