My Winter Skincare Edit: What I Used on the Slopes
I’ve just returned from a winter break in St Martin de Belleville, where cold temperatures, wind and altitude really put my skincare routine to the test.
Winter — especially in the mountains — can be incredibly drying and ageing for the skin. Long days outdoors, cold air and increased UV exposure mean hydration, barrier support and protection become essential.
I wanted to share the exact skincare routine I used every day to keep my skin feeling comfortable, nourished and glowing throughout the trip. This routine is ideal for normal to dry skin, particularly if you spend time outdoors in winter.
Why Winter Skincare Needs Extra Care
Cold weather can:
- Dehydrate the skin quickly
- Weaken the skin barrier
- Make fine lines appear more visible
- Cause sensitivity and dullness
In winter, I always focus on simple routines that support the skin rather than overwhelm it.
The Skincare I Trust
For this trip, I packed OSKIA — a brand I regularly use and trust for keeping skin healthy, resilient and nourished.
Below is exactly how I used each product, morning and evening.
