Cold air holds less moisture than warm air, which is part of why skin tends to feel drier and tighter during winter months. Indoor heating adds to the effect, pulling additional moisture from the skin throughout the day.
Simple adjustments — richer moisturisers, warm rather than hot showers, and treatments that include nourishing oils — can help offset the seasonal dryness. If you notice your skin feeling particularly tight or flaky, it may be worth adding an oil-based massage to your routine during the colder months.
