As winter graces us with its chilly presence, it’s time to revamp your skincare routine. Colder temperatures and dry indoor air can wreak havoc on our skin, leading to dryness, flakiness, and irritation. Here’s how to keep your skin healthy, hydrated, and glowing all winter long.
1. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
The importance of hydration cannot be overstated. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. Consider herbal teas or warm lemon water during colder months to increase your fluid intake.
2. Switch to a Creamier Cleanser
In winter, opt for a creamy or oil-based cleanser instead of foaming ones. These helps preserve your skin's natural oils while effectively removing dirt and makeup.
3. Exfoliate Wisely
Exfoliation is essential, but during winter, choose a gentle exfoliant to avoid stripping your skin. Talk to our experts to learn about what type of f exfoliation is good for your skin cells without irritation. Limit exfoliating to once a week to maintain your skin barrier.

Even in winter, UV rays can damage your skin, especially if you're in snow-covered areas. Use our Altivo broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every day and SPF 50 when doing outdoor activities, even when it’s cloudy. Consider a tinted moisturizer with SPF for an added layer of protection.
6. Embrace Face Oils
Face oils can be a winter savior, adding an extra layer of moisture. Look for oils rich in fatty acids, like argan or rosehip oil, to nourish and protect your skin. You can layer them over your moisturizer or mix a few drops into your foundation for a dewy finish.
7. Hydrate Your Environment
Indoor heating can dry out the air, leading to drier skin. Use a humidifier to maintain moisture levels in your home. This addition can help prevent your skin from losing hydration amidst the winter chill.
