Winter Skin SOS

Beat the winter blues with hydration, barrier-loving ingredients, and seasonal skincare.

When temperatures drop and the airturns crisp, your skin feels it first. Tightness, flaking, redness, and irritation are common as dry winter air pulls moisture away.
I’m Jessica Elizabeth, a licensed skincare professional and founder of Jessica Elizabeth Skincare. After eight years helping clients achieve radiant skin, I’ve learned that winter requires extra care. Dry air, indoor heat, and harsh winds can wreak havoc but with a few mindful tweaks to your routine and the right products, you can keep your skin healthy, hydrated, and glowing all season.
Understanding Winter Skin
Cold, dry air and indoor heating strip your skin’s natural moisture barrier. Even oily or acne-prone skin can develop rough patches or redness. The goal isn’t just to “add moisture”—it’s to strengthen your barrier so your skin can protect and hydrate itself naturally.
Hydration Heroes
Start with a gentle, pH-balanced cleanser—avoid foaming or stripping formulas. Layer in hydration with a barrier- supporting serum like the JES Hydra Lite Serum, powered by beta-glucan to soothe inflammation, strengthen your barrier, and deeply hydrate.
JES Hydra Peptide Moisturizer
Seal it in with a moisturizer that supports repair. The JES Hydra Peptide Moisturizer is perfect for sensitive or breakout-prone skin. It delivers anti-aging peptides to improve firmness and elasticity while calming redness.
Ingredients That Beat the Winter Blues
Look for ingredients that hydrate and help skin retain moisture:
• Ceramides: strengthen the barrier and prevent moisture loss
• Peptides: improve firmness and elasticity
• Hyaluronic Acid: attracts water for plump, hydrated skin
• Squalane: lightweight, non-comedogenic moisture
• Beta-Glucan: soothes inflammation and repairs the barrier
• Niacinamide: reduces redness and boosts barrier function
Winter Skincare Dos and Don’ts
• Avoid long, hot showers, over-exfoliating, and layering too many actives
• Never skip moisturizer—hydrated skin produces less oil and stays calmer
• Use a humidifier to replenish moisture in the air
• Drink plenty of water
• Eat hydrating foods like cucumber and avocado
• Apply sunscreen daily, even in winter, UV rays can contribute to dryness and premature aging damaging the skin barrier
Final Glow Tips
Your skin deserves seasonal care, just like your wardrobe. Swap lightweight summer products for barrier-loving formulas that protect and hydrate. Glowing skin is about consistency, nourishment, and giving your skin what it needs to thrive all winter long.
