Winter skincare routine: how to keep skin hydrated and healthy

Winter skincare routine: how to keep skin hydrated and healthy

Winter puts extra pressure on the skin barrier. Hot showers, indoor heating and cold or icy winds all contribute to moisture loss, dryness and sensitivity.

With the right skincare routine, you can support hydration, protect the barrier and keep skin comfortable throughout the colder months.


Cleanse without stripping moisture

choose a gentle, non-stripping cleanser

If your skin feels tight or dry after cleansing, your cleanser is removing essential moisture along with impurities. In winter, cleansing should refresh the skin without disrupting the barrier.

Lemon Myrtle Cleanser

This gentle cleanser helps maintain hydration while improving the appearance of pores and skin tone, making it ideal for daily winter use.


layer hydration for winter conditions

hydration works better in layers

In warmer months, a single moisturiser may be enough. In winter, skin needs additional support to combat cold air and dry environments.

Layer hydration before moisturising to help skin retain water more effectively.

Protective Day Serum for daytime hydration and antioxidant support
Regenerative Night Serum for overnight repair and skin renewal

Both formulas support barrier function and help maintain skin resilience in colder weather.


support skin with vitamin C

antioxidant protection matters in winter

Vitamin C helps defend skin against environmental stress and supports collagen production, which can decline in drier conditions. It also helps maintain brightness and even skin tone during winter months.

Protective Day Serum

Formulated with natural vitamin C sources, including Kakadu Plum and Desert Lime, to support hydration, antioxidant protection and long-term skin health.


Use richer moisturisers when needed

adjust moisturisers as skin needs change

Cold weather often increases moisture loss, meaning lightweight creams may no longer be enough.

Light Balancing Creme for normal or combination skin
Nature's Antioxidant Creme for daily nourishment and protection
Intense Hydrating Creme for dry or compromised winter skin

Switching to a richer moisturiser can significantly improve comfort and hydration.


Do not skip sunscreen in winter

daily protection is essential year round

UV exposure does not stop in winter. Skin remains vulnerable to damage even on cloudy or cold days.

Apply sunscreen every morning after your skincare routine to protect against premature ageing and barrier damage.


Embrace facial oils for deeper nourishment

oils support hydration when used correctly

Facial oils do not clog pores when they are non-comedogenic and used correctly. In winter, they help seal in moisture and support barrier repair.

Daily Rejuve Facial Oil

Apply after evening moisturiser to deeply nourish, repair and rejuvenate dry or dehydrated skin.


Gentle exfoliation and masks

support renewal without overdoing it

Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells, but over-exfoliating in winter can weaken the barrier.

Gentle Exfoliant used sparingly
White Clay Mask to clarify without stripping

Limit use to 1 to 2 times per week based on skin tolerance.


Winter hydration starts inside the body

internal hydration supports skin health

Cold weather often reduces water intake. Staying hydrated internally supports skin elasticity, comfort and overall function.

Drink water consistently throughout the day to complement your skincare routine.


Calm, hydrated skin handles winter better

Winter skin care is about supporting the barrier, layering hydration and protecting skin daily. With consistency and the right products, skin can stay balanced, resilient and comfortable all season long.
