The cooler months always expose the same thing every year:
who’s actually hydrating their skin… and who’s just pretending. 😅
If your skin suddenly feels tight, dull, flaky, or like your moisturizer “isn’t working anymore,” it’s not random, it’s science.
And one of the biggest culprits is how people use hyaluronic acid in colder, drier weather.
Here’s the truth most people miss:
Hyaluronic acid doesn’t hydrate on its own.
It pulls water from the air or from your face if the air is dry.
So when humidity drops after Thanksgiving and the cooler months hit, HA starts acting like a thirsty little gremlin unless you layer it correctly.
A few things everyone should know heading into December:
💧 Apply HA on damp skin, otherwise it pulls from you.
💧 HA is not a moisturizer - it’s a humectant, you must layer it.
💧 Cooler weather = more support needed, think ceramides + thicker moisturizers.
💧 Not all HA serums are equal. Medical-grade uses multiple molecular weights for deeper hydration and better barrier support.
💧 If your skin feels “tight” after applying HA, that’s a sign you’re not locking it in properly.
The cooler months are when routines start to crack (literally)… but with the right layering, your skin can stay plump, hydrated, and actually happy through December and beyond.
Save and share this for your winter routine.
