Recovery mode: how to repair winter skin

Learn how to soothe, smooth, and treat dry winter skin with a replenishing routine that your skin will love all season long.

Dehydrated skin

Dryness

Hydration

Your skin is the largest organ on your body, which makes your skin barrier your biggest line of defense against the world. During the colder months, harsh weather threatens to dry, dull, and deplete the skin barrier. Dry and dehydrated skin are classic signs of skin barrier damage–that means it’s time to get into recovery mode. With the right routine, you can restore your skin barrier and fortify your defenses for skin that’s tough enough to stand up to the cold.

Plenty of pollutants stick to our skin barrier, drying out skin and causing irritation. Before we can start treatment, we need to rid our skin of these irritants. Daily Milkfoliant is a calming daily exfoliant that gently buffs away pollutants while clearing the way for the rest of your routine.
