Winter can be harsh on your skin, stripping it of its natural moisture and leaving it dry, flaky, and irritated. That’s why it’s crucial to incorporate a robust skincare routine that prioritizes hydration.
Why Moisturize in Winter?
Low Humidity: Cold weather reduces humidity levels, drying out your skin.
Central Heating: Indoor heating systems can further exacerbate dryness.
Wind and Cold: These elements can damage the skin’s protective barrier.
The Benefits of Moisturizing
Prevents Dryness and Flaking: Regular moisturizing helps retain moisture, preventing dry, flaky patches.
Reduces irritation: Hydrated skin is less prone to irritation and redness.
Slows Down Aging: Moisturizing helps maintain skin elasticity and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Enhances Skin Barrier Function: A strong skin barrier protects against environmental stressors.

How to Treat a Sunburn at Home
1. Aloe Vera
Perhaps one of the most common ways to treat a sunburn, aloe vera gel can do more than provide the skin with cooling relief. The gel also has anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe sunburned skin, says Dr. Debra Jaliman, a board-certified dermatologist and author of Skin Rules: Trade Secrets from a Top New York Dermatologist. Keep a bottle of aloe vera in your beach bag this summer—or, even better: use the gel from the actual plant—and apply when needed.
2. Hyaluronic Acid
If you experience a sunburn on your face, Melissa Doft, M.D., a board-certified plastic surgeon in New York City, suggests applying a facial serum infused with hyaluronic acid, “to help the skin heal faster.” As a hydrating substance produced naturally by the body, hyaluronic acid can help moisturize and plump sun-parched skin without causing further irritation.
3. White Vinegar
To help relieve some of the pain and inflammation from the burn—and prevent potential infection—Dr. Jaliman suggests applying white vinegar to the affected areas. “Because white vinegar is composed of acetic acid, it can help relieve the pain and inflammation, and act as an antiseptic,” she explains.
“Combining this oil with the lymph drainage massage technique will bring out glow, plumpness and radiance.”
