Winter Skincare Tips: How to Keep Your Skin Glowing All Season Long
Winter can be tough on your skin — hello dryness, dullness, and fine lines that seem to appear overnight. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
With a few smart swaps, the right products, and some pantry-powered hacks, you can maintain soft, radiant skin all winter long. Here's how to build your best winter skincare routine, featuring Genie Beauty favourites and a few DIY tricks.
1. Hydrate Like a Pro
Indoor heating + cold air = skin that feels tight, flaky and dull. It's time to swap your light summer moisturiser for something more nourishing.
Try: Genie Dream Cream
Formulated with Hyaluronic Acid, Peptides, and Vitamin C, this ultra-hydrating cream delivers intense moisture and glow without the heaviness. Perfect for both morning and night. Clinical studies show it increase hydration in the skin by 400% in 15 minutes!
2. Gently Exfoliate to Reveal Brighter Skin
In winter, dead skin cells can build up and block your moisturiser from doing its job. But over-exfoliating can backfire.
Try: Genie Exfoliate3
This 3-in-1 enzyme + AHA + mechanical exfoliator smooths and brightens in one step —
without stripping your skin. Use 1–2 times per week to help your skin absorb serums and creams better.
3. DIY De-Puffing Eye Treatment
Tired, puffy eyes? Winter fatigue and dry air don’t help.
At-home tip:
Place chilled cucumber slices over your eyes for 10 minutes to soothe and depuff naturally.
Then use: Genie Instant Line Smoother
Apply a tiny amount under the eyes for a visibly firmer, smoother look — no filters required.
4. Nourish with a Homemade Honey Mask
Your kitchen has the secret to winter glow.
DIY Winter Face Mask:
1 tbsp raw honey (hydrating + antibacterial)
1 tsp plain yoghurt (gentle exfoliation)
1 tsp olive oil or mashed avocado (rich in fatty acids)
Apply to clean skin, leave for 15 minutes, rinse, and follow with Genie Dream Cream.
5. Use a Gentle Cleanser + Lukewarm Water
Winter isn’t the time for foaming cleansers or hot water. These can strip your skin’s barrier and cause extra dryness.
At-home tip:
If you’re between products, a quick gentle cleanse with milk or micellar water can calm irritated skin. Always moisturise straight after cleansing to seal in hydration.
6. Yes, You Still Need SPF
Even when it’s cloudy or chilly, UV rays can cause damage. Snow and glass can reflect light and increase exposure.
Use SPF daily over your Genie Dream Cream, especially if you’re near windows or outdoors often.
Winter is no match for hydrated, exfoliated, and well-loved skin. Whether you're sticking to Genie’s essentials or mixing in some DIY, consistency is the key.
