But what does your skin-care routine look like? Cool, crisp days can make your skin feel parched and scaly. And it’s no wonder: “There’s less moisture in the air to give your skin ambient hydration,” says Jody Levine, MD, a New York City–based dermatologist and an assistant clinical professor of dermatology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.

“That’s why it’s time to change your approach and think about how to protect your skin from harsh outdoor elements like the wind and chilly air.”
It may seem like the obvious solution is to simply slather on more moisturizer. But there’s no silver bullet when it comes to keeping your skin soft and hydrated as the seasons change. When switching over your skin-care products for colder weather, it’s important to take your skin type into account.

Levine. Then, apply a creamy moisturizer to help lock in hydration. You can also put a drop of rose, marula, or sea buckthorn oil directly onto the skin or add it to your face cream for even more moisture, suggests Francesca Fusco, MD, an assistant clinical professor of dermatology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City.

Sea buckthorn, an increasingly popular ingredient in skin-care products, is loaded with an array of fatty acids and vitamins that stimulate skin regeneration and repair, according to a study published May 2017 in Lipids Health and Disease. A few drops of the oil itself packs a hefty dose of hydration for parched, flaky skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Next, use an oil-free moisturizer or a gel-based or serum moisturizer. “Look for those containing ingredients such as glycerin, D-glucuronic acid, Aloe barbadensis leaf extract, L-limonene, and sodium PCA,” says Dr. Fusco, as they provide moisture without the heaviness of oils.

Another popular choice is a hyaluronic acid serum, which packs a powerful punch without clogging pores.

“Try using a toning pad with glycolic and salicylic acid that you can apply to just your oily T-zone areas,” says Levine.

Ceramides are lipids, or fat molecules, that are an essential component of the skin’s barrier function and help keep your skin feeling soft and hydrated, according to a study published July 2016 in the journal Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics. Ceramides can also help protect skin from environmental stressors like pollution and seasonal changes, like dry air. Additionally, research shows that low ceramide levels have been linked to atopic dermatitis or eczema.
