Winter Skin Tips

Written By Linda Sim

As the temperature drops, so does the moisture in the air and your skin often feels the impact first. Cold weather, indoor heating, and harsh winds can strip your skin of its natural oils, leaving it dry, dull, and more sensitive.

Here are a 6 simple ways to keep your skin glowing and protected during the winter months:

  1. Switch to a rich moisturiser
    Lightweight summer creams may not cut it in winter. Choose a more nourishing and hydrating moisturiser such as Ultra DNA³ Complex Recovery Night Cream.

  2. Avoid hot showers
    As comforting as they feel, long hot showers can worsen dryness. Use lukewarm water and follow up with Ultra Retexturising Body Complex while your skin is still damp to lock in much needed moisture.

  3. Don’t skip the SPF
    UV rays are still present in winter and can damage your skin, especially in reflective environments like water, snow or on cloudy days. Continue to apply SPF every morning. Ultraceuticals have several formulas to suit all skin types.

  4. Stay Hydrated
    Drinking enough water is just as important in winter as it is in summer. Hydrated skin starts from within. Elevate your water with fresh lime, cucumber or a squeeze of lemon.

  5. Consider using a humidifier
    Central heating can dry out the air in your home. A humidifier adds moisture back into the air, helping prevent skin from becoming dry or irritated. A worthwhile investment if you suffer from dry skin.

  6. Exfoliate gently
    Help remove dry, flaky skin with a gentle exfoliant 1–2 times a week. Avoid harsh scrubs and opt for a product such as Ultra Gentle Exfoliating Gel to avoid damaging the skin barrier.

Your skin deserves a little extra love in winter. With the right care, and products it can stay soft, smooth, and radiant all season long.
