How to Prevent Dry Skin in Winter & Stay Glowing All Season

Winter is beautiful but challenging. Short days, cold winds and dry heated air can leave your skin dull, dehydrated and more sensitive. Low energy, sluggish digestion and a dip in mood are all part of the seasonal shift. What you see in the mirror is only part of the story—how you feel inside matters just as much. 

 Fortunately, Dr. Nicholas Perricone’s Three-Tier Philosophy offers a holistic approach to winter-proof your skin and body, keeping you radiant and resilient all season long. 

TIER 1: Nourish From Within With “Beauty Foods” 

Winter is the perfect time to embrace warm, nutrient-rich foods for glowing skin. Dr. Perricone always recommends eating the rainbow. In other words, fill your plate with assorted colors to support your body on a cellular level. 

• Avocados are a winter superstar. Rich in folic acid and healthy fats, they support energy production, uplift mood, and improve your sense of well-being. 
• Nuts and seeds, like almonds, warm brown walnuts, and bright green pumpkin seeds, provide essential fatty acids that help maintain your skin’s lipid barrier during dry winter months. 
• Olive oil, especially dark green extra virgin, adds heart-healthy fats and a touch of hydration for your skin from the inside-out. 
• Roasted root vegetables bring warmth, color and a nourishing dose of vitamins and minerals. 

TIER 2: Supplement Smartly for Winter Wellness 

Even the best diet may need a boost during winter. Omega-3 Supplements are particularly valuable as they help fight dryness from within by helping to improve skin health through hydration and radiance. Omega-3s have also been shown to support a healthy heart, boost mood and support a healthy weight.* Pair them with antioxidant-rich foods to help combat seasonal stressors and protect your body from environmental damage.

TIER 3: Perfect Your Winter Skincare Routine 

Protecting your skin against harsh weather is essential. A carefully crafted daily skincare routine in winter should feature emollient-rich, science-backed ingredients that can preserve hydration and barrier function, especially if you have dehydrated and/or dry skin in winter. 

• Cleanser: Gently cleanse with Hypoallergenic Clean Correction Gentle Cleanser without worrying about stripping your skin of its essential moisture. 
• Serum: Layer High Potency Hyaluronic Intensive Hydrating Serum after cleansing to lock in immediate, deep hydration while visibly plumping and smoothing skin. 
• Moisturizer: Opt for Hypoallergenic Clean Correction Barrier Repair Nourishing Moisturizer to help support your skin barrier and prevent water loss. 
• Extra Nourishment: Apply Essential Fx Acyl-Glutathione Chia Facial Oil atop your moisturizer for additional nourishment. 
• Lips: Protect delicate lip skin with Cold Plasma Plus+ Lip Therapy for a visibly softer, fuller and more supple pout. 

TIP: Use a humidifier to add moisture back into the dry, heated air to help keep your skin soft and resilient throughout the day.
