If winter skin care had one non-negotiable rule, it would be this:
Nighttime care matters more than daytime care.
At night, the skin shifts into repair mode. There’s less environmental exposure, less friction, and more opportunity for moisture to stay put. This is especially important for areas that show winter damage first: lips, hands, elbows, and legs.
Simple nighttime habits that make a difference:
- Applying body cream while skin is still slightly damp
- Using richer formulas than you would during the day
- Giving lips extra care before bed
Consistency matters more than the number of products you use. A simple routine done nightly will outperform a complicated routine done occasionally.
Winter care tip:
Overnight lip care often delivers better results than constant reapplication during the day.
