In the winter, our skin craves a little extra TLC. The colder temperatures and dry air can leave your complexion feeling dull, dehydrated, and brittle.
But with the right routine, you can keep your skin plump and glowing year round. Check out our winter skin care routine to help you bring that Summer Friday’s feeling to those cold winter days.

STEP 1: CLEANSE
Start your routine with a gentle yet effective cleanse. Winter can cause our skin to feel tight and flaky, so you want a cleanser that doesn’t strip your skin of its natural oils.
The Super Amino Gel Cleanser is packed with 11 amino acids and a blend of nourishing ingredients that cleanse while replenishing your skin’s hydration barrier.
pro tip: Use lukewarm water, not hot, when washing your face to avoid stripping moisture.
STEP 2: HYDRATE + MOISTURIZE
After cleansing, it’s time to lock in that much-needed hydration. Winter air pulls moisture from your skin, so using a rich, nourishing moisturizer like the Ultra Plumping Hydrating Moisturizer is a must.
This formula is designed to plump and smooth your skin with hyaluronic acid and antioxidant-rich ceramides. It creates a protective layer that holds moisture, giving your skin a dewy, hydrated glow even in the driest conditions.
pro tip: Apply while your skin is still slightly damp for better absorption.
STEP 3: RESTORE
For those extra-dry winter days, your skin will thank you for a boost of hydration from the Jet Lag Mask.
This cult-favorite is packed with vitamins, perfect for deeply moisturizing and soothing tired, dehydrated skin.
You can use it as an overnight treatment or apply a thin layer to keep your skin smooth and nourished throughout the day.
pro tip: Use it as a primer under makeup for an added moisture boost, or apply it mid-day for a quick hydration pick-me-up.
STEP 4: SOOTHE + PROTECT
Our Lip Butter Balm is the perfect solution to chapped lips.
This ultra-hydrating balm nourishes and soothes, creating a protective barrier to prevent moisture loss.
We’ve got flavors and tints for every occasion on-the-go.
pro tip: Apply generously before bed for an overnight lip mask or use throughout the day for extra hydration.
SHOW YOUR SKIN SOME EXTRA LOVE
- Hydrate from the inside out: Drinking plenty of water is essential for keeping your skin hydrated during the colder months.
- Invest in a humidifier: The dry air from indoor heating can deplete your skin’s moisture, but a humidifier helps replenish hydration in your environment.
- SPF is still essential: Even in winter, the sun’s UV rays can damage your skin. Be sure to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day.
