4. 🧴 Skincare Adjustments & Product Recommendations
- Winter decreases ambient humidity, causing increased skin dryness and irritation due to water loss. Cold, dry winter wind exacerbates skin chapping and vulnerability, leading to heightened sensitivity.
- Switch to milder cleansers and limit cleansing to once a day to preserve skin moisture. Incorporate ingredients like ceramides and niacinamide to support the moisture barrier and reduce irritation.
- Use thicker night moisturizers such as creams, night masks, or barrier jellies for enhanced hydration. Recommended products include CeraVe Moisturizing Cream, which contains ceramides, and The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% for reducing irritation.
- Consider products like Aquaphor Healing Ointment for a barrier jelly option, providing an extra layer of protection against moisture loss.

- Ingredients like squalane mimic the skin's natural oils, providing deep moisture without clogging pores.
- Aloe vera offers soothing properties that reduce inflammation and irritation associated with dry skin.
7. 💧 Moisturizing Solutions: Barrier Jelly & Masks

- Can be used nightly or as needed, ideally as the final step in a nighttime routine due to its occlusive nature.
- The product might feel sticky, similar to honey, and is best applied at night, at least an hour before bed, to allow absorption and avoid sticking to bedding.
- It is also useful for the neck area, and if you have long hair, tying it up can prevent it from sticking to the jelly.

9. 🌿 Incorporating Retinol and Vitamin A Products
- Using topical Vitamin A, such as retinol and retin aldhy, can improve visible signs of aging, enhance skin smoothness, target discoloration, and increase collagen production, leading to reduced wrinkles and fine lines.
- Retin aldhy only requires one conversion by the skin to become active, making it an efficient option for skincare routines.
- Beauty of Joseon's Revive Eye Serum with ginsing and retin aldhy is recommended due to its additional ingredients like niacinamide, which supports the moisture barrier.
