Winter is one of the harshest seasons for mature skin.
Cold air, wind exposure, indoor heating, and constant temperature shifts skyrocket TEWL (Transepidermal Water Loss), the process where your skin's water literally evaporates into thin air.
And what happens when TEWL increases?
Dryness.
Tightness.
Dullness.
Rough texture.
And a major drop in radiance.
The good news?
With the right winter skincare routine, you can stop TEWL in its tracks, protect your barrier, and keep your skin cushioned, smooth, and glowing-even when the weather is fighting you with everything it has!
Keep reading for a simple, 3-step routine using IN YOUR FACE SKINCARE products to keep your skin glowing through the winter months.
STEP 1: CLEANSE WITHOUT STRIPPING
Every skincare routine should start with a cleanse.
But harsh cleansers? They're the #1 mistake you can make with your winter skincare routine.
They damage your skin's protective moisture barrier, instantly increasing TEWL.
Instead, the right cleanser purifies while preserving moisture-especially for mature skin.
This is essential for winter because it:
- Helps prevent tight, uncomfortable skin
- Maintains moisture and supports a healthy barrier
- Removes buildup from heaters, dry indoor air, and environmental pollutants
- Prepares the skin to absorb serums and moisturizers more effectively
Your must have winter cleansers:
- GINGER MINT WASH - pH-balanced, refreshing, and energizing, with ginger root oil and provitamin B5 to help reinforce hydration and keep skin strong in the winter months.
- MOISTURIZING WASH - Lightweight, sulfate-free, and packed with seaweed and green tea to cleanse deeply without disrupting your barrier.
- MANDARIN MELT CLEANSING BALM - Manuka honey and sea buckthorn melt makeup and daily buildup while leaving skin soft, nourished, and soothed.
Denice's Tip: Double cleansing with our MANDARIN MELT CLEANSING BALM and MOISTURIZING WASH keeps skin clear, hydrated, and protected from excess TEWL.
STEP 2: FLOOD SKIN WITH ACTIVE INGREDIENTS
During winter, low humidity means that moisture evaporates fast, with TEWL rising even faster.
Serums are your winter workhorses-brightening, hydrating, and strengthening the barrier so skin looks alive again.
Serums should focus on:
- Deep hydration to counteract winter dryness
- Brightening to restore a healthy glow
- Barrier reinforcement for long-term resilience
- A smoother, firmer-looking complexion
Glow-boosting serums your winter skin needs:
- CLARIFYING SERUM - Refines pores, smooths textures, and restores clarity-perfect for buildup caused by winter dryness.
- VITAMIN C PLUMPING SERUM - Pure L-ascorbic acid and antioxidant botanicals revive dull, flat winter skin with a radiant boost.
- BAKUCHIOL WONDER SERUM - A gentle, botanical retinol alternative that promotes smoother texture and firmer appearance with zero irritation.
- BIO PEPTIDE EGF-6 FIRMING SERUM - Epidermal growth factors and copper peptides visibly firm, hydrate, and restore bounce when winter stress rears its head.
Denice's Tip: Layer from thinnest to thickest to maximize absorption and results.
STEP 3: STOP TEWL IN ITS TRACKS
Winter accelerates water loss, so your moisturizer must be rich, reparative, and barrier-strengthening.
This is where you seal the deal and keep hydration exactly where you need it: in your skin.
Winter moisturizers should deliver:
- Long-lasting hydration
- Nourishing support for your moisture barrier
- A cushioned, plump appearance
- A radiant finish that offsets winter dullness
Your winter hydration power duo:
- THE CREAM - A velvety, nutrient-rich formula with Bio-Tea Ferment™ that deeply hydrates, plumps, and helps minimize TEWL for up to 18 hours. This is your winter-skin savior.
- NOURISHING OIL - A luxurious, vitamin-rich oil that softens dry patches, restores elasticity, and locks in moisture for all-day comfort and glow.
Denice's Tip: Apply THE CREAM to damp skin, then press a drop or two of our NOURISHING OIL on top to seal in moisture and dramatically reduce TEWL.
