A proper skincare routine for winter is essential, as indoor heating often reduces humidity to below 10%, while skin requires 40-60% to stay healthy. Trans-Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL), the evaporation of water through the skin, increases in cold, dry conditions, weakening the lipid barrier and accelerating cell turnover. Clinical studies show that winter can reduce skin barrier function by up to 50%, leading to dryness and flaking.

To counteract these effects, a skincare routine for winter should focus on hydration and barrier support. Limit face washing to twice daily with mild cleansers to avoid stripping natural oils. Skip toners with drying ingredients like salicylic acid or glycolic acid. Instead, apply a rich moisturizer immediately after cleansing to lock in hydration and protect your skin.
