Your skin feels tight after every shower. Flakes appear around your nose and cheeks, and no amount of regular moisturizer seems to help. Cold air outside and dry heat indoors strip natural oils, making winter a tough season for anyone with dry skin.
Humidity drops during winter—sometimes to less than 30%. That means the air pulls moisture from your skin faster. Central heating only makes things worse by further drying out your environment. Most people don't realize their skin's barrier function is compromised, leading to irritation and redness.
Look for moisturizers and cleansers with these ingredients. Skip foaming cleansers—they strip your skin even more.
Try applying moisturizer within three minutes after washing your face. This helps trap water before it evaporates.
Stick to lukewarm water, always use SPF, and exfoliate only once a week with a gentle product.
Thick creams feel soothing, but if they're loaded with petrolatum or mineral oil, they can clog pores and trap dead skin. Opt for non-comedogenic formulas with natural oils and humectants instead.
We blend science and nature in our vegan moisturizers and serums, using powerful plant ingredients like hyaluronic acid and squalane. Our formulas are cruelty-free, free from parabens and sulfates, and packaged responsibly. See what works for your skin at Lotus Botanicals.
1. Should I exfoliate my dry skin during winter?
Yes, but gently. Use a mild exfoliant once a week to avoid irritation and help your moisturizer absorb better.
2. Can I use oils instead of creams for winter hydration?
Oils like squalane or jojoba can seal in moisture, but they're best layered over a hydrating cream or serum, not used alone.
3. Why does my skin feel tight after showering in winter?
Hot water and low humidity strip away natural oils, causing tightness. Switch to lukewarm water and apply moisturizer right after.
4. Is sunscreen necessary for dry skin in winter?
Absolutely. UV rays can damage skin year-round, and dry skin is more susceptible to irritation, so use SPF daily.
5. How do Lotus Botanicals products help with winter dryness?
Our vegan formulas use hyaluronic acid and plant-based oils to hydrate deeply and strengthen your skin barrier during harsh winters.
6. Can I skip toner if my skin is dry?
If your toner contains alcohol, skip it. Instead, choose alcohol-free toners with hydrating ingredients like glycerin or rose water.
7. Are thick creams always better for dry skin?
Not always. Heavy creams with mineral oil can clog pores. Go for non-comedogenic formulas with natural oils and humectants.
8. What ingredients should I look for in winter skin care?
Look for hyaluronic acid, ceramides, glycerin, and squalane. These support hydration and strengthen your skin barrier.
9. Does central heating affect skin dryness?
Yes, central heating lowers indoor humidity, making your skin lose moisture faster. Use a humidifier if you can.
10. Are Lotus Botanicals products suitable for sensitive skin?
Definitely. We use plant-based, cruelty-free ingredients with no parabens or sulfates, making our products gentle even for sensitive skin.
