Dry skin is one of the most common concerns I see during the winter months, and it’s often because the skin isn’t getting the right kind of moisture.
You think “hey, I’m using a moisturizer so that enough” or you use a barrier cream because you think it’s more moisturizing, but here’s the truth...
Penetrating moisturizers help draw hydration into the skin using ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin, while barrier creams work on the surface to seal everything in with lipids, ceramides, and occlusives. Both play an important role, especially when cold weather, low humidity, and indoor heat start to compromise the skin barrier.
Understanding the difference between hydration and protection can make a huge impact on dry, flaky, or irritated skin during winter. When you support the skin properly, it’s more resilient, balanced, and comfortable.
