Winter can be tough on your skin. Freezing temperatures, harsh wind, and dry indoor heat all work together to steal moisture and weaken your skin’s natural barrier. If your face feels tight, flaky, dull, or sensitive this time of year, it’s not you — it’s the season.
The good news? With the right winter skincare routine and clean, nourishing products, you can protect your skin and keep it glowing all winter long.
Let’s dive into the best winter skincare techniques and why Clean Beauty by Joy’s Organic Radiance Serum and Pro Prep Primer are essential for cold-weather skin support.
🌬️ Why Winter Wreaks Havoc on Your Skin
Cold air holds less humidity, which means your skin loses moisture faster. Add in indoor heaters and hot showers, and your skin barrier becomes compromised.
Common winter skin issues include:
• Dryness and flaking
• Redness and irritation
• Sensitivity
• Makeup clinging to dry patches
That’s why winter skincare should focus on barrier repair, deep nourishment, and protective layering.
🛡️ Winter Skincare Technique #1: Strengthen the Skin Barrier
Your skin barrier is your first line of defense against the elements. When it’s healthy, it keeps moisture in and irritants out.
✨ Why Organic Radiance Serum Is Essential for Winter Skin
Clean Beauty by Joy’s Organic Radiance Serum is packed with organic oils and botanicals that deeply nourish and protect dry winter skin:
• Black Seed Oil – supports stressed, irritated skin
• Jojoba Oil – mimics your skin’s natural sebum for balance
• Rosehip Seed Oil – rich in essential fatty acids for tone and hydration
• Castor Oil – seals in moisture and strengthens the barrier
• Neem Oil – supports clarity and resilience
• Frankincense Essential Oil – supports mature and depleted skin
• Blue Tansy Essential Oil – calms redness and sensitivity
• Black Spruce Essential Oil – comforting and protective for winter-stressed skin
👉 This makes it an ideal organic face serum for dry winter skin and a key step in any clean beauty winter routine.
💧 Winter Skincare Technique #2: Layer Hydration the Right Way
In winter, hydration works best when you layer:
Correct Order:
1️⃣ Cleanse
2️⃣ Apply Organic Radiance Serum (on slightly damp skin)
3️⃣ Moisturize
4️⃣ Apply Pro Prep Primer
The serum feeds your skin. The moisturizer hydrates. The primer protects.
❄️ Winter Skincare Technique #3: Protect Your Skin from the Elements
Cold wind and dry air strip moisture fast — so your final layer should act like a shield.
🌿 Why Pro Prep Primer Is a Winter Skincare Must-Have
Your Pro Prep Primer does more than prep makeup — it acts as a breathable protective barrier layer for winter skin.
Key winter-friendly ingredients include:
• Aloe Vera & Glycerin – hydrate and soothe dry, tight skin
• Jojoba Oil & Squalane – replenish lipids and lock in moisture
• Rice Starch & Silica – smooth texture so makeup doesn’t cling
• Vitamin E – supports skin against environmental stress
• Green Tea & Rosehip Extract – antioxidant support
• Herbal Extracts (Oregano, Thyme, Rosemary, Cinnamon, Lavender, Goldenseal) – botanical support for resilient skin
In winter, Pro Prep Primer:
• Seals in moisture from your serum + moisturizer
• Smooths dry texture
• Protects against wind and cold air
• Keeps makeup fresh and comfortable
👉 It’s the perfect clean beauty primer for cold weather skin protection — think of it as your winter coat for your face.
