How to Get Rid of Dry Winter Skin for a Dewy Glow
As winter stretches into its final weeks, your skin may still be feeling the effects of the cold. Low humidity, chilling winds, and indoor heating can leave your complexion dull, dehydrated, and in need of some extra care. With the right steps and products, you can transition into spring with dewy skin that feels as fresh as the blooms to come. Here’s how to level up your winter skincare routine with IMAGE Skincare’s professional recommendations.
1. Maximize Daytime Moisture Without the Shine
During the day, your skin faces environmental stressors like dry air and harsh winds. After cleansing and applying your favorite serums for face, lock in hydration with a nourishing moisturizer before layering on sunscreen. This creates a barrier against water loss and keeps your skin glowing all day.
IMAGE RECOMMENDS:
VITAL C hydrating intense moisturizer
- Powered by hyaluronic acid for a surge of hydration.
- Shea butter forms an occlusive barrier, sealing in moisture.
- Palmitoyl oligopeptide supports collagen for a plump, youthful look.
- Antioxidant-rich tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate (a stable, fat-soluble form of vitamin C) and grape seed extract protect against environmental damage.
2. Lock in Hydration Overnight
Nighttime is when your skin repairs itself, making it essential to use deeply hydrating products before bed. Opt for a rich cream that nourishes and locks in moisture while you sleep, ensuring your skin feels soft and replenished by morning.

- A 20% vitamin blend (A, C, and E) delivers a triple dose of antioxidant protection.

- For an extra hydration boost, mix in the AGELESS total pure hyaluronic filler, which binds moisture to the skin for a plumped, dewy appearance.
3. Target Dry Patches with Facial Oil
Even if you have combination skin, certain areas like your nose, forehead, or around the lips might develop rough, flaky patches in winter. Adding a facial oil to these spots can help restore softness and create a protective barrier to prevent further water loss.
IMAGE RECOMMENDS:
- Moringa oleifera seed oil absorbs quickly to prevent dehydration.
- Seabuckthorn oil, rich in essential fatty acids, drenches the skin in moisture.
- Grape seed oil nourishes and improves elasticity.
- A blend of argan, sunflower, and avocado oils conditions and softens the skin.
- Squalane locks in hydration while enhancing skin suppleness.
4. Choose a Moisturizer with Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen
Sunscreen isn’t just for sunny days—UV rays penetrate clouds and windows, exposing your skin to environmental damage even in winter. A moisturizer with broad-spectrum protection is key to defending against aging while keeping your skin hydrated and comfortable.

5. Replenish Weekly with a Hydrating Sheet Mask
When your skin needs an extra dose of nourishment, turn to a hydrating sheet mask. Packed with concentrated ingredients, sheet masks help restore moisture and nutrients, leaving your skin refreshed and dewy.

6. Why a Vitamin C Serum is Essential
No matter the season, incorporating a vitamin C serum into your routine can amplify the benefits of your moisturizer and sunscreen. This powerful antioxidant helps brighten the skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and protect against environmental damage. Pair it with other serums to create a customized routine that addresses your specific needs.
