During winter, avoid harsh cleansers; instead, opt for mild and hydrating ones to maintain your skin’s natural barrier

Many dermatologists recommend choosing skincare and makeup products labeled as oil-free or non-comedogenic to prevent clogged pores in the changing weather

Use a heavy and non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated and protected from dryness that can trigger breakouts in the cold season

Winter sun can still harm your skin. So, apply a sunscreen according to your skin type to prevent UV damage and irritation

Exfoliate once a week to remove dead skin cells, but avoid over-exfoliating, which can irritate the skin and make it drier in winter

Stick to lukewarm water, as hot showers can strip your skin of essential oils, making it more prone to dryness and acne

Lastly, your skin needs to be hydrated internally too. So, drink plenty of water and have a good nutritional meal to keep skin healthy
