Winter Skincare Tips - How to Combat Dry Skin from Indoor Heating with Ann Webb Natural Products

Winter-Proof Your Glow: How to Combat "Heated-Space" Dehydration

When the temperature drops, your skincare routine needs an upgrade. Whether you are facing a biting northern wind or the dry, artificial heat of a cozy living room, your skin is under constant attack. In the winter, we often see a spike in "trans-epidermal water loss"—a fancy way of saying the moisture is literally being sucked out of your face.

At Ann Webb Skin Care, we specialize in "Clean Clinical" solutions that protect your barrier when the elements get tough. Here is your professional guide to winter-proofing your skin.

The Two Culprits of Winter Dryness

  1. The Cold Wind: Freezing air is naturally low in humidity, which strips the protective oils from your skin, leading to redness and chapping.

  2. Indoor Heating: Forced air and heaters create an "arid" environment. Even if you stay inside, the lack of moisture in the air causes your skin to feel tight, itchy, and dull.

The "Ann Webb" Winter Protocol

To keep your skin resilient, you need to shift from "lightweight" to "layering."

1. Swap Your Cleanser

If you’re using a foaming cleanser, it might be too stripping for January. Switch to our Sensitive Cleansing Milk. It removes impurities while depositing pharmaceutical-grade lipids back into the skin, ensuring you don't start your routine with a compromised barrier.

2. The "Moisture Magnet" Step (B5 Serum)

Our B5 Serum with Hyaluronic Acid is non-negotiable in the winter. Think of it as a sponge. Apply it to slightly damp skin (use our HA Mist first!) to trap moisture. This prevents the dry indoor air from stealing your skin's natural hydration.

3. Upgrade to a "Barrier" Moisturizer

In the summer, a light lotion might work. In the winter, you need a sealant.

  • Daytime: Use our Day Moisture Cream to create a protective shield against the wind.

  • Nighttime: This is when the real repair happens. Our Nighttime Anti-Aging Cream is rich in the nutrients your skin needs to recover while you sleep in a heated room.

Pro-Tip: Don't Forget the Humidifier!

While our Texas-made products do the heavy lifting, we always recommend running a humidifier at night. This keeps the air around you moist, allowing your Ann Webb serums to work even more effectively.
