As temperatures drop in winter, our skin faces new challenges. Cold, dry air, exposure to wind, and sudden changes between heated indoor spaces and the cold outdoors can cause dryness, cracking, and a loss of natural glow.
Common Winter Skin Issues
- Low humidity: Dry air speeds up water loss from the skin.
- Sudden temperature changes: Moving between warm indoors and cold outdoors weakens the skin’s natural barrier.
- Not drinking enough water: Cold weather can reduce your sense of thirst, leading to internal dehydration.
- Using harsh products: Certain soaps or cleansers can strip the skin of its natural oils.
Dr. Heba Khodr’s Winter Skincare Tips
- Moisturize consistently: Use a rich moisturizer with nourishing ingredients like glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and natural oils. Apply morning and night, especially after showering.
- Protect your skin from the cold: Wear gloves and scarves to cover your face and hands outdoors.
- Avoid very hot water: Hot showers remove natural skin oils; opt for warm water instead.
- Stay hydrated: Drink water regularly, even if you don’t feel thirsty, to maintain skin hydration from within.
- Use sunscreen daily: UV rays are still present in winter and can damage the skin.
- Gentle exfoliation: Use a mild exfoliant 1–2 times a week to remove dead skin and improve absorption of moisturizers.
- Healthy diet: Foods rich in vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids (like Omega-3) help nourish your skin from the inside.
