Winter skincare: how to stop dry, tight skin
Cold wind outside and heating inside strip moisture. Simple changes for comfortable skin all winter.
Quick answer: Swap to a cream cleanser, add a hydrating serum, use a richer barrier-repair moisturiser at night and keep wearing SPF. Avoid hot showers and over-exfoliating.
Why skin dries out
Cold air holds less moisture and central heating pulls water from the skin, weakening the barrier.
Cleanse gently
Use a cream or milky cleanser and lukewarm water.
Layer hydration
A hyaluronic serum on damp skin, then a richer moisturiser, keeps skin comfortable. Obagi Hydrate Luxe works well overnight.
Treatments that help
The ZO Ultra Hydration Treatment and skin boosters restore comfort and glow when skin is struggling.
Common questions
Should I still exfoliate in winter?
Yes, but less often, once or twice a week with a gentle product.
