Minimalist routine in the cold: 5 tips to avoid overloading your skin in winter

During winter, skin becomes more sensitive, dry, and reactive due to lower temperatures, low humidity, and warmer baths. Using too many skincare products can worsen this by compromising the skin’s barrier and increasing irritation. According to dermatologist Paula Chicralla, a minimalist skincare routine is recommended during colder months, focusing on essential steps like gentle cleansing, hydration, and protection. The approach emphasizes using fewer products that respect the skin’s natural barrier rather than overloading it with multiple active ingredients. Key recommendations include avoiding harsh cleansers, prioritizing hydration with ingredients such as ceramides and hyaluronic acid, limiting combinations of skincare actives, applying sunscreen daily, and adjusting routines based on the skin’s responses.
