Cold weather doesnât just make your skin dry..
it quietly disrupts your skin barrier, which is why so many people struggle with:
⢠tightness that wonât go away
⢠redness or sensitivity out of nowhere
⢠dull, uneven texture
⢠breakouts and dryness at the same time
Hereâs what actually helps your skin in December (and what most people miss):
1ď¸âŁ Protect your barrier first.
Over-exfoliating + cold air = inflammation. If your skin feels tight after cleansing, your barrier needs support, not disruption. Take a little break from harsh ingredients or switch to a gentle exfoliator like the Epicutis Enzyme Powder that exfoliates without stripping your barrier.
2ď¸âŁ You may need to swap out your moisturizer.
When cold air and indoor heat are pulling moisture out of your skin all day, your daily moisturizer may not be enough. The Epicutis Hyvia Creme is rich and velvety, plus it protects your skin from blue light damage throughout the day. If you need a little extra boost at night, we love the VociSkin HA Luxe moisturizer.
3ď¸âŁ Redness is a sign your skin is stressed.
Cold wind, hot showers, and holiday stress all increase inflammation. Calming, oxygenating treatments like Glacial Gloss or an Epicutis Facial help restore balance and improve circulation so your skin can heal.
4ď¸âŁ Your at-home products work better on hydrated skin.
When your skin is properly hydrated, serums absorb more evenly, makeup sits better, and sensitivity decreases. So donât forget to drink your water. A humidifier helps too (as long as it is clean!)
