Fall→Winter Skincare: Transition Your Routine | Rare Skinstore Cyprus
Cold air, indoor heating and low humidity can strip your skin’s moisture. Here are five smart switches to keep your complexion calm, comfortable and glowy all winter.
1) Switch to a gentle, hydrating cleanser
Foamy formulas can feel tight in winter. Choose creamy or low-pH cleansers that respect the barrier and rinse clean without squeakiness.
Look for: centella, panthenol, ceramides.
Shop picks: Anua Heartleaf Foam / SKIN1004 Centella Ampoule Foam.
2) Layer a hydrating toner or essence
Apply on slightly damp skin to pull in moisture and cushion the next steps. A couple of layers beat one heavy cream.
Look for: hyaluronic acid, beta-glucan, heartleaf.
Shop picks: Torriden DIVE-IN Toner / Mixsoon Bean Essence.
3) Strengthen the barrier with a targeted serum
Support your skin’s defenses to reduce redness and tightness as temperatures drop.
Look for: niacinamide, peptides, ceramides, panthenol.
Shop picks: Beauty of Joseon Glow Deep / Mary & May Niacinamide + Panthenol.
4) Upgrade to a richer moisturizer
Seal hydration with textures that cushion the skin without heaviness.
Look for: squalane, shea butter, multi-weight HA.
Shop picks: TIRTIR Ceramic Cream / COSRX Hyaluronic Acid Intensive Cream.
5) Don’t skip SPF (yes, even in winter)
UV is present year-round and reflected by clouds and bright surfaces. Daily SPF keeps tone even and lines at bay.
Shop picks: Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun SPF50+ / Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel.
