Winter Skin, Two Approaches — One Goal: Barrier Health
In colder months, skin doesn’t just feel dry — it loses water faster due to increased TEWL (transepidermal water loss) from cold air and indoor heat. That’s why winter routines need intention, not overload.
TEWL = water escaping the skin.
Winter air speeds this up.
Barrier support slows it down.
• Creamy Barrier Cleanser
Like oat milk for your skin — cleanses without stripping so your barrier stays calm and hydrated.
• Moisture Balance Toner
Your skin’s first glass of water — immediately replenishes hydration and preps the barrier to slow TEWL.
• HydraBalance Serum
A hydration booster shot — floods the skin with moisture to soften fine lines and restore bounce.
• Cran-Peptide Cream
A cozy cashmere sweater for your face — seals everything in and strengthens the barrier all day.
• Face Reality SPF
Your invisible shield — protects glow, prevents dark marks, and supports long-term barrier health even in winter.

When you combine Western precision with Korean barrier repair, skin becomes calmer, stronger, and more responsive — especially in winter.
This balance is exactly what I prioritize in every skin consultation: treating what you see and restoring what’s happening underneath.
