There’s an undeniable end-of-year festive cheer in the air, there are holiday plans to be made and there’s the promise of a new year to look forward to. But even as the RSVPs start piling in on your social calendar, you’ll find that the same skincare routine that sufficed you throughout the year won’t be able to handle the frosty touch of winter.
Dryness, eczema flare-ups and perennially chapped lips—if you’re looking to stay one step ahead of these, it helps to reconsider your bedtime skincare routine. By aligning your choice of skincare products with your skin’s natural healing cycle, you’ll be able to unlock your most glowing skin yet. Ready to get started?
“I’ve always been a fan of French pharmacy finds because of their no-fuss, result-oriented formulas—and honestly, this one’s no different. It hydrates my dry cheeks while controlling the oiliness in my T-zone. I love how gentle and nourishing this cream feels. It has also made my skin more resistant to flare-ups over time. I use it on my face and neck, and often on my hands too when they’re feeling a little too dry. It also works great under makeup and preps my skin well.”
No matter how tempting it might seem to cosy up under the sheets on wintry nights, a quick hand of makeup remover makes for a worthy detour. You’ll want to opt for an oil-based makeup remover to avoid triggering any dryness in the skin. The next must-have in your winter skincare routine is a rich, creamy cleanser that will impart lasting hydration to the skin.
Pro tip: Avoid using extremely hot water for washing your skin—hot temperatures and dry skin do not make for good bedfellows. Instead, rinse away any grime or debris sitting on your skin with lukewarm water and a hydrating cleanser.

Once you are working with a squeaky clean canvas, it is time to give your skin a leg-up in the skincare stakes with the individualised care that it needs. Feel like your skin has been lacking lustre? Want to keep dry patches at bay? Depending on your skin’s requirements, you’ll find a wide range of humectants and emollients that would like nothing more than to snuggle deep into your night skincare routine during winter.
Pro tip: If you’re looking to go the extra mile, it helps to steal a page (or twenty) from the world of K-beauty. The secret behind their glass-like glow is lightly slapping in serums—instead of rubbing it in vigorously—to help the formula penetrate deeper and improve blood circulation.

There was a time when a quick hand of moisturiser served as the one-and-done step for taking care of the skin’s moisture reserves. But the year is 2024 and we now know that the delicate area under the eyes is susceptible to dryness in its own ways—it requires individual attention in your winter skincare routine. For keeping puffiness and dark circles at bay, you will want to opt for a formula rich in humectants, such as hyaluronic acid, to pull moisture from the air and store it deep within the layers of the skin.

Moisturisers for winters? While Miranda Priestly may not file it as groundbreaking in her book, skincare savants know that not all moisturisers are created equal. For battling the arid dryness of the season, you will want to look for a deeply hydrating formula that can replenish your skin’s storehouse of moisture before the frosty air whisks it all away.
Pro tip: It helps to opt for air-drying after cleansing your face—instead of rubbing it dry. Once done, you’ll want to follow the 10-second rule and apply your moisturising formulas while the skin is still damp for better absorption.

Perhaps you are hoping to clock in some extra cred on your skincare assignment? For those looking to go the extra mile, it helps to consider a sleep mask for winter skincare. Known for rejuvenating your skin as you catch some shut-eye, a sleep mask can undo the damage of sun exposure from the day and help you wake up to brighter, smoother skin.

The dryness of the chilly air might have you swiping on lip balm more often than usual. But if you are looking for lasting hydration, it helps to level up to a lip mask. Much like a face mask, the lip-care counterpart is designed to concentrate all its efforts on hydration. As your skin repairs itself at night, slathering on a rich lip mask as part of your PM skincare routine can help your lips receive lasting hydration for eight hours at a stretch.
