Winter Skin Reset: How to Keep Your Glow All Season Long
As temperatures drop and the wind starts to bite, your skin begins sending signals — sometimes loudly. Winter is beautiful, but let’s be honest… it can be brutal on your face.
The dryness.
The tightness.
The dull, papery feeling that seems to show up overnight.
The good news? With a few intentional shifts, your winter glow can be even stronger than your summer one. Here’s your simple, effective Winter Skin Reset, inside and out.
1. Protect Your Barrier With Gentle Cleansing
Winter is not the season for stripping cleansers.
If your face feels tight after washing, it’s time to upgrade.
Instead, reach for cleansers and serums that support your moisture barrier — the shield that keeps your skin soft, calm, and hydrated.
Try:
- YOUTH® Luminous Gel Oil Cleanser – Melts makeup without dryness
- YOUTH® Radiance C + E – Brightens dull winter skin
Your barrier is everything in winter. Treat it well, and it will reward you.
2. Hydrate Like It’s Part of Your Job
Cold air outside + heated indoor air inside = a recipe for dehydration.
This season, your skin thrives when you:
- Boost your hydration serum
- Layer your moisturizer
- Add a nourishing oil if your skin needs extra comfort
Winter MVPs:
Glow is just hydration with good boundaries.
3. Yes, You Still Need Sunscreen
Cloudy days don’t mean UV-free days.
And here’s a bonus: sunscreen also helps prevent windburn by creating a protective barrier that locks in hydration and shields your skin from harsh winds.
Try:
Your cheeks will thank you.
4. Hydrate From the Inside Out
Topical care only goes so far — your skin also “drinks” from within.
Support your cells with internal hydration and nutrients that keep your skin firm, elastic, and moisturized.
Internal winter skin helpers:
- OmegaGuard® – Healthy lipids that reinforce your moisture barrier
- Collagen-9 – Supports firmness and elasticity
- Triple Defense Boost – Hydration + immune support + antioxidant protection
- Sustained Release Vitamin C – Essential for repair and overall glow
Healthy skin is a whole-body project.
