When winter hits, your skin feels it first. Between freezing winds, dry air, and indoor heat, moisture disappears fast, leaving you with tight, flaky, or dull skin.

The trick to keeping that healthy glow all season long isn’t just slathering on more moisturizer. It’s about creating a routine that supports your skin inside and out. Here’s your winter skin survival guide filled with simple steps, cozy rituals, and nourishing habits that actually make a difference.

 

Step 1: Start the Day Gently

Winter mornings call for a little extra kindness. Swap foaming or gel cleansers for something creamy or oil-based to protect your skin’s natural barrier. Then, apply your moisturizer while your skin is still damp to help lock in hydration. Look for ingredients like ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and squalene.

And don’t skip SPF. Even when it’s cloudy or snowy, UV rays can still cause damage since snow reflects them.

To hydrate from the inside too, start your day with a tall glass of water or a warm drink with a boost. Stir a scoop of Sproos MCT Collagen Creamer into your coffee or tea for added healthy fats and collagen. It’s an easy, skin-supporting step that feels like a treat.

 

Step 2: Midday Moisture Boost

Indoor heating can zap the moisture right out of your skin. Keep a hydrating mist or lightweight moisturizer nearby for a quick refresh during the day.

If you’re working from home or heading out in the cold, try a midday ritual that warms you up and feeds your skin at the same time. Sproos Super Matcha Latte or Super Hot Chocolate are both rich in collagen and antioxidants that help support your skin’s elasticity and glow from within.

Bonus: they’re a satisfying swap for that extra cup of coffee that can dehydrate you even more.

 

Step 3: Evening Replenish and Repair

Nighttime is when your skin goes into repair mode, so give it what it needs to recover. After cleansing, apply a thicker night cream or facial oil to seal in moisture. If your skin feels dull, use a gentle exfoliating treatment once or twice a week. Nothing harsh, just enough to remove dry surface cells so your products can absorb better.

This is also the perfect time to nourish your skin from within. Add Sproos Beauty Collagen to a soothing evening drink or herbal tea. Its blend of marine collagen, biotin, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin C helps support skin hydration and elasticity while you rest.

 

Weekend Ritual: Slow Down and Reconnect

Winter weekends are made for self-care. Take a little extra time to treat your skin. Apply a hydrating mask, do a few minutes of gua sha or facial massage to boost circulation, and actually rest.

Pair your ritual with a cozy mug of Sproos Super Hot Chocolate for warmth, relaxation, and that added collagen goodness. Because skincare should feel good, not like another item on your to-do list.

 

Let Your Skin Thrive This Winter

Winter might be harsh, but your skin doesn’t have to suffer for it. A few mindful changes, from the cleanser you use to the drinks you sip, can make all the difference. Treat your skin kindly, inside and out, and it will thank you with that healthy, winter glow.
