Let’s Talk Winter Skin is our winter activation, where we guide you through everything cold, wind, dry air, and altitude can do to your skin. Not only in the mountains, but also in your everyday winter routine. As your trusted skincare guide, we explain why your skin can feel different in winter, how to keep your routine simple with a few smart switches, and which essentials help keep your skin comfortable and soft.
Effect of winter air
In winter, the air is often lower in humidity. Outside because of cold and wind, inside because of heating. As a result, moisture can evaporate from the skin more quickly and your skin may feel less supple. You often notice it right away: dry skin that feels tight, gets red more easily, and reacts a little more sensitively than you’re used to. Because your skin barrier has to work harder during this period, your skin texture can feel rougher and you may be more prone to itchiness or irritation. Extra hydration and properly sealing your routine help keep skin comfortable.
Does your skin stay dry or tight easily, even outside of winter? Discover our skincare specifically for dry skin and give your skin extra comfort.
If you notice your lips get dry or chapped quickly in winter, it helps to take your lip routine just as seriously as your skincare. In our blog on what to against dry lips you’ll find extra tips and targeted care.
Dryness on the slopes
When skiing, the mountain air is extra dry, because cold air can hold little water vapour. Add wind and cold and your skin loses moisture faster, which can make it feel tight, dry, and sometimes even more sensitive. Your skin texture can also become rough more quickly and dry patches may stand out more, especially around the cheeks, nose, and chin. By adding extra hydration in layers and sealing your routine with a nourishing cream that helps lock in moisture, your skin stays comfortable and supple, even after a long day on the slopes.
Routine switch in 6 steps
A winter routine doesn’t have to be complicated. With these steps, you’ll keep your skin soft, comfortable, and better protected against moisture loss.
- Choose a gentle cleanser so your skin can keep its natural oils.
- Add hydrating toners, essences, and serums.
- Focus on ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin, beta glucan, and birch sap.
- Apply hydrating layers on slightly damp skin.
- Finish with a nourishing cream with ceramides, urea, or shea butter.
- Give your skin extra support at night with an overnight mask, such as Abib Rice Probiotics Overnight Mask.
By following these steps, you’ll give your skin exactly what it needs in winter. You’ll lock in moisture better, prevent that tight feeling, and stay comfortable all day. Choose make-up and skincare that work with your skin too: soft hydration, a calm finish, and glow that supports your look, without making your skin feel dry or tight.

Frequently asked questions
How does make-up stay looking good without appearing dry?
Make-up stays looking better when you start with hydration, choose comfortable textures, and build your glow in soft layers, so dry patches are less emphasised.
Why does your skin also need extra care indoors during winter?
Even indoors, skin loses moisture faster because of heating and dry air, which is why extra hydration is needed to keep comfort.
What does gentle exfoliation do for your skin in winter?
Gentle exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells so hydrating products absorb better and your skin feels smoother.
Why is sun protection still important in winter?
Sun protection is still important because UV radiation is present all year and is reflected more strongly by snow and at higher altitudes.
How can you tell your skin needs more hydration?
A tight feeling, a dull look, or make-up that doesn’t sit as nicely are clear signs your skin can use extra hydration and care.
Let’s Talk Winter Skin is all about insight and practical choices you can apply right away, so winter care becomes something you understand and feel.
