As October comes to an end, it’s time to start thinking about how to transition your skincare routine for the upcoming winter months.

For melanin-rich skin, the drop in temperature and moisture can lead to dehydration, flakiness, and irritation.

The key is to start preparing now! Here’s how you can winter-proof your skin by making a few simple but powerful adjustments to your fall skincare routine.

Why Transitioning Your Skincare Routine for Winter Is Important:
- Colder weather brings drier air, both outside and indoors. For melanin-rich skin, this can result in increased sensitivity and dryness. Proactively adjusting your routine helps maintain a healthy moisture barrier and prevent winter-related skin issues.
Ingredients to Look for in Winter-Proof Skincare:
- Opt for products rich in humectants like hyaluronic acid and glycerin to draw moisture into the skin, and emollients like shea butter and oils to lock it in. Also, make sure your moisturizers are thicker and more nourishing to protect your skin’s natural barrier.
Top Products to Help You Transition Your Skin:
- At unSKINxD, we’ve created products designed to meet the unique needs of melanin-rich skin during seasonal transitions.

How to Winter-Proof Your Routine:

- Add a thicker moisturizer.
- Include nourishing oils or creams in your routine.
- Don’t forget sunscreen—even in cooler weather!
