Winter brings chilly temperatures, wind, and humidity — factors that can dry out your skin, particularly on your hands and lips. These areas are especially vulnerable because they have fewer sebaceous glands and are constantly exposed to the environment. Here are some tips to protect and keep them soft and moisturized throughout the season.
The Importance of Hydration
Even though cold weather doesn’t trigger thirst like summer does, staying hydrated is crucial. Drinking enough water helps your body retain moisture and prevents skin dryness.
Tip: Always carry a reusable water bottle and set reminders to drink water regularly.
Foods That Promote Hydration in Winter
In addition to staying hydrated by drinking water, certain foods can nourish your skin from within:
- Cucumber: Packed with water and essential vitamins.
- Oranges and Mandarins: High in vitamin C to boost collagen production.
- Avocado: Rich in healthy fats that improve skin elasticity.
- Nuts: Full of omega-3 fatty acids that nourish the skin.
- Pumpkin: Loaded with antioxidants and water, perfect for keeping skin hydrated and protected.
Incorporate these foods into your diet to combat the effects of cold weather on your skin.
Hand Care
Frequent washing and exposure to the cold can leave your hands dry, rough, or even cracked. Here’s how to care for them:
Use Gentle Soaps: Choose natural soaps that won’t strip your skin of essential oils.
Hydrate Regularly: Apply a moisturizer every time you wash your hands.
Protect with Gloves: Wear gloves when going outside to shield your hands from wind and cold.

Lip Care
Lips are one of the most affected areas in winter due to their delicate protective barrier. To prevent dryness:
Avoid Licking Your Lips: This can worsen dryness.
Exfoliate Gently: Use natural exfoliants to remove dead skin and enhance balm absorption.
Apply Hydrating Balm Regularly: Look for natural, nourishing ingredients.
