- Apply a moisturizer with ceramides, hyaluronic acid, or squalane to lock in moisture.
- Drink plenty of water to hydrate from within.
- Avoid hot showers that deplete moisture.
- Use a humidifier to maintain indoor hydration levels.

A winter-specific skincare routine with hydrating and protective ingredients helps maintain healthy skin.

Skin may appear darker in winter due to dehydration, dead skin buildup, and reduced sun exposure affecting brightness. The lack of UV exposure can make summer tans fade unevenly, leading to dullness. Using gentle exfoliants, vitamin C serums, and rich moisturizers helps restore radiance and even skin tone.
