“Pre-Winter Skincare Switch – Start These 3 Habits Early”

You feel that slight dryness in the morning?

Your lips are getting flaky?

Winter is not here yet, but your skin already knows it’s coming.

Most people wait for cracked skin to start moisturizing.

But smart skincare means — you prepare before the damage starts.

So here are 3 habits you should start early, before the winter gets serious.

⸻

✅ 1. Start Using a Softer Face Wash

That strong foaming face wash you used all summer?

Time to switch it.

As the weather cools, the air gets drier. Strong cleansers remove natural oils, making your skin tight, itchy, and sensitive.

Do this instead:

🧴 Choose a gentle, creamy, or hydrating face wash

🧴 If your skin is acne-prone, look for non-foaming, pH-balanced options

You don’t need to strip your skin to keep it clean.

⸻

✅ 2. Bring Moisturizer Into Your Morning Routine (Not Just Night)

Most people only use moisturizer at night, and skip it during the day.

In winter, that’s not enough.

Dry air, cooler wind, indoor fans/heaters – all pull moisture from your skin throughout the day.

New habit:

💧 Apply moisturizer within 2 minutes after washing your face

💧 Choose lightweight gel creams for day and richer creams for night

💧 If your skin feels dry even after applying – it means the product isn’t enough

⸻

✅ 3. Don’t Ditch Sunscreen

Yes, it’s cloudy. Yes, it’s not hot.

But UV rays? Still present. Still damaging.

Winter sun may feel “mild” but it’s still causing:

• Pigmentation

• Premature aging

• Tanning and dullness

So:

☀️ Continue your sunscreen. Minimum SPF 30

☀️ Apply it even if you’re mostly indoors (glass doesn’t block UV fully)

☀️ Reapply if you’re outside or driving for long

⸻

Bonus Tips:

• Keep a lip balm in your bag – dry lips are first sign of seasonal change

• Avoid long hot showers – they dry out skin more

• Start using a humidifier if you sleep in rooms with heaters or blowers

👨‍⚕️ Final Advice from Dr. Rizwan

Winter skincare is not about doing more – it’s about doing it early.

Once the skin barrier breaks down, it takes weeks to repair.

But if you switch your habits in time, your skin will stay soft, calm, and glowing even in December.
