Transitioning Skincare to Winter This Year
As the days get shorter and the temperature drops, unfortunately the days of hot girl summer are behind us.It’s not all doom and gloom though - colder weather means cozy nights in and an opportunity to pull out the Ugg boots!
Just as you’re changing your wardrobe for winter, it’s a great time to change up your skincare too!
WHAT TO FOCUS ON FOR WINTER SKINCARE
Whereas in summer we can often opt for lighter, cooler, more minimalist routines in winter, the focus turns to optimal hydration. Here are a few of our best tips on achieving winter skin hydration:
Winter Skincare Tip 1: Switch Up Your Moisturiser
The lovely, cooling gel textures that feel great in summer aren't always the best for your winter skincare wardrobe.
Instead, you'll want something that’s super nourishing and locks in hydration.
Winter Skincare Tip 2: Double Cleanse
Because you're going to be going thicker and heavier with your layers in winter, it's even more important to start your routine right.
Double cleansing during winter keeps your skin free from impurities.
Incorporating an oil-based cleanser or balm into your winter skincare routine will effectively cleanse without drying out your skin.
Following up with a gentle foaming cleanser can help remove any leftover debris that pops up during colder weather.

Winter Skincare Tip 3: Layer Up for Extra Hydration
Even if you’re into a minimalist routine, winter is a great opportunity to add in extra skincare steps if your skin’s feeling a little dry. Layering some extra products is aa great way to do this.
Remember to start your steps from thinnest to thickest (toner,essence,serum) for best results.
Winter Skincare Tip 4: Get Masking
The most important thing for your skin when the temperature drops and the weather gets chillier is hydration, hydration, hydration. While gel textured moisturisers are rarely enough hydration, gel textured sleeping masks on the other hand are just the ticket to glowing skin.
Incorporating an effective overnight treatment like Jelly Ko Cherry Blossom Sleeping Mask will keep your skin plump and dewy like a glazed donut even with the cold.
