How to Prepare Your Skin for Winter

How to Prepare Your Skin for Winter

Complete Guide to Hydration, Nourishment, and Natural Skincare

Winter is tough on the skin. Cold temperatures, dry indoor heating, wind and constant temperature changes weaken the skin barrier and accelerate moisture loss. The result? Dryness, irritation, dullness and tight, uncomfortable skin.

A strong winter skincare routine helps your skin stay hydrated, nourished and protected - and it doesn’t have to be complicated.

This guide explains exactly how to prepare your skin for winter using gentle cleansing, deep hydration, balanced exfoliation and targeted supplements.

 

 

Why Your Skin Needs Extra Care in Winter

Winter conditions directly affect the skin’s ability to retain water and defend itself.

Common seasonal triggers include:

  • lower humidity levels
  • cold wind and indoor heating
  • increased transepidermal water loss (TEWL)
  • a weakened barrier function
  • higher sensitivity and redness

Preparing properly prevents winter skin problems instead of trying to fix them later.

 

1. Start With Gentle Cleansing to Protect the Skin Barrier

In winter, cleansing should be effective but non-stripping. A damaged barrier makes every other step less effective.

• Choose a barrier-friendly cleanser

Our face cleanser thoroughly removes impurities while maintaining hydration - essential when dealing with winter dryness.

• Remove makeup without irritation

The award-winning Nudo makeup remover (European Natural Beauty Awards) dissolves makeup effortlessly without stressing the skin.

For the softest removal experience, apply it with our reusable cotton makeup remover pads, which are gentle, sustainable and irritation-free - ideal when the skin is already sensitive.

 

 

• Add a konjac sponge for daily gentle exfoliation

Our konjac sponges boost microcirculation, brighten dull winter skin and offer the perfect level of softness for colder months.


2. Maximise Hydration With the Right Technique

Hydration is the foundation of any winter skincare routine.

• Strengthen the barrier

Opt for products that deliver long-lasting moisture and help the skin rebuild its natural protective film.

• Apply skincare on damp skin

This enhances absorption. Using our premium winter-coloured towels, you can gently pat your skin dry without creating friction that triggers irritation.

 

 

• Don’t neglect your body

Cold weather dehydrates the entire skin surface — not only the face.


3. Exfoliate Smartly: Enough to Glow, Not Enough to Irritate

Winter requires controlled exfoliation: consistent, gentle, and non-abrasive.

• For the face: konjac sponge

Daily circular motions remove dead skin cells and help products penetrate better.

 

 

• For the body: loofah pad

Our award-winning natural loofah pad provides an invigorating exfoliation that softens rough areas and boosts circulation - perfect before applying body moisturiser.


4. Support Your Skin From Within During Winter


Healthy winter skin needs internal support.
Cold weather increases oxidative stress, weakens moisture retention and makes the skin appear dull.

 

 

• Pelle & Glow: the ideal winter skin supplement

Pelle & Glow combines hyaluronic acid, glutathione, vitamin C and CoQ10 — a blend designed to:

  • support deep hydration
  • promote natural collagen synthesis (vegan-friendly)
  • brighten dull winter skin
  • improve radiance from the inside

Winter is the season where the difference between skincare alone and skincare + supplementation becomes the most visible.

 

5. A Complete Winter Skincare Routine You Can Start Today

  • and internal nourishment with Pelle & Glow
