How to Keep Skin from Drying Out in Winter
‘Tis the season for Jack Frost nipping at your nose, hot chocolate, snowball fights, and sledding.
Now is the time for us to pull out our warm Burberry coats, soft scarfs, hats, gloves, and durable yet fashionable Hunter boots for the falling temperatures. But we forget that we are leaving one thing uncovered and exposed to the cooler temps, our gorgeous face, which can leave us with dehydrated skin, chapped and cracked lips, and breakouts.
This does not sound like the most wonderful time of the year, where all is supposed to be merry and bright.
Winter is finally upon us, and it is about to cause havoc for our skin. Listen, we love the festive spirit that this time of the year brings, don’t get us wrong, but we do not appreciate the damage it can cause our skin. Has anyone ever celebrated the fact that we have gone from sun-kissed dewy skin to dull and drab in a matter of a week? Yeah, we didn’t think so. Do not worry; however, luckily, there are ways you can dispel dryness, dullness, breakouts, and inflammation; all it will take is a little more TLC and a little bit of our expertise. Incorporate the following and learn How to Keep Skin from Drying Out in Winter.
Why Does Your Skin Suffer in Winter?
Here is a bit of science, meteorology, and skincare all in one for you. Low humidity and colder weather contrive to make your skin feel tight and dry as the air zaps any moisture your skin has away. As a result, your moisture barrier can be exceedingly delicate and likely will become jeopardized. If you do not do a thing and leave it untreated, this, in turn, will lead to your skin cracking and bleeding, YIKES. If you suffer from psoriasis or eczema, they will tend to majorly flare-up during the winter.

- Switch up Your Current Cleansers
If you have not changed your summer cleanser for one that is more suitable for winter, now is a good time. Your skin needs more hydration due to the drier elements that winter brings and exposes your skin to.
The wrong cleanser can make your dehydrated skin itchier and more inflamed. Nonie’s of Beverly Hills has the cleanser for your skin this winter. Our AHA Cleanser is gentle yet effective to get the job done, and the best part, our products are created with all-natural ingredients that your skin will drink up immediately.
- Exfoliate
This is probably the furthest thing from your mind when you think winter skincare, especially if you have itchy, dehydrated skin. However, there are tremendous benefits to exfoliating your skin during wintertime. Not only does it remove dead and dry skin cells and buildup, but it also helps regenerate new skin cells.
Try incorporating a gentle exfoliator like AHAs and BHAs into your skincare routine to attain smooth skin. Nonie of Beverly Hills’ products contains Alpha Hydroxy Acid that has excellent exfoliation capabilities. Your skin will thank you for using products based on natural ingredients.
- Give Your Eyes Extra Attention
The skin around our eyes is susceptible and thin. So, during winter, this area of the face is particularly distressed by harsh weather conditions. If eye cream is not part of your winter skincare regime, now is the time to incorporate it. Eye creams can minimize under-eye bags and dark circles. Also, eye creams give extra anti-aging benefits to protect your eyes from crow’s feet. Who can say no to this fact?
You want to look for eye creams that contain ceramides, peptides, or fruit oils. Well, here at Nonie’s of Beverly Hills we have you covered with our lavish, rich in texture AHA eye cream. Our superhero of an eye cream contains some of the following:
- Orchid Oil-combats the signs of aging by diminishing fine lines and wrinkles
- Coconut Oil -a moisturizing anti-aging component that also repairs skin from sun damage
- Almond Oil-a great source to correct dark circles and under-eye bags
- Wheat Oil-a skin nourisher that acts as an anti-inflammatory

- Select a Thicker Moisturizer That Will Protect Your Skin in Winter
How fast do we see our skin dry out during winter? You can thank heating in your home or office and, of course, as we already mentioned, less moisture in the air. Our dry skin can’t conserve itself from irritants, so it is up to us to build up our skin’s natural barrier. What is the best moisturizer for dry skin? We recommend using a rich oil-based cream. This can help lock in moisture that your skin needs and keep you hydrated better than water infused moisturizers. Remember choosing organic, and all natural ingredients are top-notch for your skincare routine.
Not sure where to start to look for that perfect winter moisturizer for your skin type? Here at Nonie’s, we got an array for you to choose from. We sell moisturizers based on all skin types.

- Yes, You Need Sun Block in the Winter Too
As per the Skin Cancer Foundation, you and your skin’s risk to exposure on shining winter days are high, in which the sun rays can reflect up to 80%. You would not even think of something like that in the winter. We only associate sunscreen with summer and never winter
Also, during the gray and gloomy days of winter, the UV rays from the sun can still give you skin damage. SO, sunscreen is a big deal and critically important and needs to be applied while outdoors this winter.
Look for a proper and safe sunscreen with an SPF of 15+ and make sure to re-apply every 2 hours.
