During the onset of winter, cold air and low humidity can play havoc with your skin, leaving it dry, flaky, and red. In Pakistan, ranging from mild winters in Karachi to extreme winter conditions in northern areas, it is necessary to adjust your skincare routine.
Let us talk about the products and habits that can best keep your skin healthy and hydrated in winter.
Why Winter Drys Your Skin
Winter is characterized by the reduction in temperature and humidity, leading to the evaporation of moisture from the skin at a very high rate. Furthermore, indoor heating causes the evaporation of moisture from the skin, and as a result, irritation and dryness. Some of the common winter dryness symptoms are:
- Tightness and roughness
- Flakiness and redness
Sensitivity and itchiness In order to rid your skin of such issues, the use of extremely moisturizing and hydrating products in your skin care routine is a requisite.
1. Hydrating Cleansers: The Beginning of Soft Skin
The harsh cleanser will strip the oils from your skin and dry it out even more. Try a moisturizing cleanser containing ceramides and hyaluronic acid instead. They lock in the moisture and clean out the impurities without drying out your skin.
Pro Tip: Don’t use sulfates-based foaming cleansers as they will dry out dry skin. Try replacing them with cream or oil cleansers.

2. Moisturisers: Locking Hydration
Winter is not the time to treat yourself to a moisturizing, hydrating moisturizer. Try to include the following ingredients:
- Hyaluronic acid – Attracts and locks in water
- Shea butter & glycerin – Calms and moisturizes intensely
- Ceramides – Strengthens skin barrier to lock in moisture
Apply your moisturizer when your skin is still damp so that your skin has a chance to absorb as much as it can and lock in the moisture.

4. Sunscreen: Always Necessary, Even in Winter
Few individuals apply sunscreen in winter as they think the sun is weak and will not damage the skin. But UV light leads to premature aging and pigmentation. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or more every day, even on cloudy days.
