Why Does Skin Get Dry in the Colder Months?

As the colder months roll in, the drop in humidity levels creates drier air, leading to less moisture for our skin to absorb. This shift can strip the skin of its natural oils, leaving it dry, flaky, and more prone to irritation. Add in exposure to indoor heating, which further depletes moisture, and your skin faces an uphill battle to stay hydrated.

How Can You Prevent Dry Skin?

Preventing dry skin starts with proactive hydration. Opt for a rich moisturizer that includes powerhouse ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and ceramides. These ingredients work together to lock in moisture, repair your skin barrier, and protect against environmental stressors.

Bom Skin & Co. recommends using our Luxurious Body Butter, enriched with shea butter and natural oils, to deeply hydrate and nourish dry skin. For exfoliation, our Whipped Body Scrub gently removes dead skin cells while leaving a layer of moisture behind, preparing your skin for optimal absorption of moisturizers.

Should You Change Your Skincare Routine in the Winter?

Absolutely! Adjusting your skincare routine is essential to combat the harsher conditions of winter. Switch to a gentle cleanser that won’t strip your skin of its natural oils. Follow up with a hydrating serum to provide an extra moisture boost, and layer it with a heavier moisturizer to lock in hydration and shield your skin from the cold.

Consider adding Bom Skin & Co.’s Ultra-Hydrating Body Oil as the final step in your skincare routine. Applied right after a shower, it seals in moisture and leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth all day.

How Often Should You Moisturize in the Winter?

Consistency is key when it comes to moisturizing in the winter. Apply your moisturizer at least twice a day—ideally right after showering or cleansing. This helps lock in moisture while your skin is still damp. For extra hydration, don’t hesitate to apply a quick layer of moisturizer during the day, especially to hands, elbows, and other areas prone to dryness.
