Preparing Your Skin for Winter

As temperatures drop, the skin naturally becomes more vulnerable. Cold air, wind, and indoor heating all pull moisture from the surface, leaving the complexion dry, sensitive, and less radiant. Preparing the skin before winter settles in helps maintain comfort, balance, and a healthy barrier throughout the season.

1. Start With a Gentle Cleanser

Winter skin does best when cleansing is soft and supportive. A gentle formula—such as Ella Pure’s Peptide Cleanser—helps remove impurities without stripping away moisture the skin needs to stay comfortable in colder weather.

2. Increase Hydration

Dry air can pull hydration from the skin faster than your summer routine can replace it. Transitioning to richer, more replenishing products helps keep moisture levels steady. Layering hydrating serums and creams, like Ella Pure’s Peptide Serum followed by the Peptide Moisturizer, supports a smoother, more resilient barrier.

3. Add Gentle Exfoliation

Winter often brings dullness and uneven texture. Light exfoliation 1–2 times per week helps the skin shed dry surface cells and absorb moisture more effectively. A gentle option like Rahm Roast keeps the skin polished without over-exfoliating.

4. Protect the Skin Barrier

The skin barrier is your main defense against dryness and irritation. Consistent use of nourishing, barrier-supportive products helps keep it strong. Look for comforting, hydrating textures and avoid anything overly harsh during the colder months.

5. Support With Small Daily Habits

Simple lifestyle adjustments can make winter skincare more effective:

• Use a humidifier to increase moisture in the air

• Keep showers warm, not hot

• Drink water consistently

These small shifts help prevent moisture loss and keep the skin balanced.

Consistent Care

Preparing the skin for winter isn’t about doing more—it’s about choosing what supports hydration, comfort, and protection. With gentle cleansing, steady moisture, and barrier-focused care, your skin can stay smooth, calm, and radiant all season long.
