Winter is here, bringing with it an abundance of changes. While we shift from iced latte to hot chocolate and trade in our summer dresses for thick, winter garments, our skin undergoes its own set of changes. With harsh, chilly winds, dry spells, and a fall in temperature and humidity, our skin has a lot to put up with and it clearly shows. Dry patches, dull complexion, and sensitive, irritated skin are just a few of the many woes your skin undergoes when the temperature drops.

Although there are many tips you can follow to protect your skin from the harsh effects of winter, they may not be nearly as effective on their own as this new winter skincare trend that has been making the rounds- layering. You may already know about the effectiveness of layering your clothes to stay warm. Layering skincare works pretty much the same way, except that it involves using skincare products instead of outfits. By layering your products in the right sequence, you can keep your skin supple and hydrated even in the worst weather conditions. Think of it as a powerful fortress that locks in moisture while preventing the harsh weather from aggravating your skin’s condition.

Here are a few steps you can follow to effectively layer your skincare this winter.

This simple hack is all it takes to transform your skin from parched and lifeless to refreshed and radiant this winter.
