Winter is here, and while cozy sweaters and warm drinks are welcome, the cold, dry air can wreak havoc on your skin. From flakiness to irritation, winter dryness is no joke—but the good news is that with a few simple tweaks to your skincare routine, you can keep your skin hydrated and healthy all season.
Here are 8 essential tips to protect your skin from winter dryness:
-
Switch to a Gentle, Hydrating Cleanser
Cleansing is a must, but it’s important to avoid harsh cleansers that strip your skin of its natural oils, especially in winter. Opt for a gentle, hydrating formula that cleanses without leaving your skin tight or dry.
Bonus Tip: Use lukewarm water—not hot—to avoid further drying out your skin.
-
Upgrade Your Moisturizer
Winter calls for a richer moisturizer that locks in hydration and strengthens your skin barrier. Tano Skincare’s Age Well Face Cream is formulated with banana sap, hyaluronic acid, and CoQ10 to deeply hydrate, improve elasticity, and calm irritation.
Bonus Tip: Apply your products immediately after washing your face to seal in moisture.
-
Don’t Forget Your Body
Your face isn’t the only area that suffers in the winter. Use a nourishing body lotion like Tano Skincare’s Everyday Body Lotion to keep your skin soft and smooth from head to toe.
Bonus Tip: Apply lotion right after a shower when your skin is still damp for better absorption.
-
Use a Humidifier
Indoor heating can dry out the air, leaving your skin feeling parched. Adding a humidifier to your bedroom or office helps keep the air (and your skin) hydrated.
-
Keep Exfoliation Gentle and Limited
Exfoliating is key to removing dead skin cells, but overdoing it can worsen dryness. Stick to gentle exfoliators and use them no more than 1-2 times a week.
Bonus Tip: Follow up with a rich moisturizer to replenish your skin.
-
Protect Your Lips and Hands
Chapped lips and cracked hands are winter staples, but they don’t have to be. Keep a hydrating lip balm with SPF and a nourishing hand cream handy to combat the effects of cold weather.
-
Layer Your Skincare Properly
In winter, layering products correctly is crucial to maximizing hydration. Start with lighter products like serums and finish with thicker creams to lock everything in.
Bonus Tip: Add a face balm to the end of your routine if you need an extra moisture boost.
-
Stay Hydrated from the Inside Out
Your skincare routine isn’t the only way to fight winter dryness—drinking plenty of water and eating foods rich in healthy fats (like avocado and salmon) can help keep your skin hydrated from within.
Bonus Tip: Don’t Skip Sunscreen
Yes, even in winter! UV rays are still present and can damage your skin, so make sure to use a broad-spectrum SPF daily, especially if you’ll be outdoors or near snow.
Keep Winter Dryness at Bay
Don’t let winter weather take a toll on your skin. Tano Skincare’s banana sap-powered products are designed to combat dryness, soothe irritation, and boost hydration naturally. Whether it’s our Age Well Face Cream or Everyday Body Lotion, these products deliver the nourishment your skin needs during colder months.
