Winter Skin SOS: 5 Easy Tips for Hydrated, Glowing Skin
Winter is here, and let’s be real—your skin probably feels like a crusty loaf of sourdough right about now. Between freezing winds, indoor heaters, and all the stress-eating (or is that just me?), winter is not exactly kind to your face. But don’t worry, I’ve got your back—and your cheeks, forehead, and everything else.
Here are five super easy, totally doable tips to rescue your skin from its seasonal slump and bring back that glow—because flaky is a good look for pie crust, not your face.
1. Hydrate Like Your Life Depends on It (Because It Kinda Does)
Listen, hydration isn’t just about chugging water like you’re training for a marathon. Your skin needs some topical TLC too. Reach for Mary Kay Intense Moisturizing Cream if your skin feels drier than the Sahara. This gem delivers up to 10 hours of hydration and makes your face feel like it just had a spa day.
Pro tip: Use it at night after your regular moisturizer for an extra layer of love. Think of it as a bedtime hug for your face.
2. Exfoliate (But Be Nice About It)
You wouldn’t wear last year’s winter coat without shaking out the mothballs, right? Same goes for your skin—gently exfoliate to ditch those dead, flaky cells and let your glow shine through. The Mary Kay TimeWise® Microdermabrasion Refine is a total game-changer: It feeds and nourishes the skin from below through increased microcirculation. This brings oxygen to the surface of the skin to stimulate circulation creating a healthy, more radiant glow.
Pro tip: Limit exfoliating to 2–3 times a week. You’re buffing, not sanding furniture.
3. Don’t Skimp on Sunscreen (Yes, Even in Winter!)
Just because it’s cold doesn’t mean the sun isn’t out here plotting wrinkles and sunspots. Enter Mary Kay Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30, your winter BFF. Lightweight and non-greasy, it protects your skin from UV damage while keeping it happy and hydrated.
Pro tip: Apply it as the last step in your morning skincare routine, and don’t forget your neck and hands. They age too, ya know.
4. Invest in a Humidifier (Or Fake It)
Heaters suck the moisture out of the air (and your skin), so if a humidifier isn’t in the budget, fake it! Place a bowl of water near your radiator or hang a damp towel nearby to add some moisture back into the air.
5. Mask It Up
When your skin needs a little extra love, treat it to a hydrating mask. The TimeWise® Moisture Renewing Gel Mask is basically a drink of water in a tube—soothing, moisturizing, and packed with skin-loving goodness. Pop it on while you binge your latest guilty-pleasure show, and boom: instant glow.
Pro tip: Leave it on overnight for maximum hydration. You’ll wake up looking like you actually got 8 hours of sleep (even if your toddler had other plans).
The Winter Glow-Up Awaits
Winter doesn’t have to leave your skin dull and dry. With a few simple tweaks to your routine and some MVP products, you can keep your glow going all season long.
