When the temperature drops, so does your skin's moisture level. Winter can leave your skin feeling dry, tight, and more reactive than usual - which means your Summer skincare routine might not cut it. Now is the perfect time to switch things up and support your skin barrier with products designed to hydrate, nourish, and protect.
Here’s how to build a winter-proof skincare routine using our new dermatologist-designed range:
1. Start with a Gentle, Non-Stripping Cleanser
Cleansing is still a must, but overly foaming or harsh formulas can worsen winter dryness.
Try: Bloc Gentle Cleanser
Formulated with jojoba oil and calming extracts, this creamy cleanser removes the day without disrupting your skin’s natural barrier.
2. Double Down on Hydration with a Targeted Serum
Cold air and indoor heating zap moisture, so reach for humectants that draw hydration into the skin.
Try: Bloc Antioxidant Serum
Crafted with a powerful blend of skin-nourishing ingredients, including kojic acid derived from shiitake mushrooms and liquorice root extracts, and a blend of antioxidants and skin-loving botanical extracts, including bearberry leaf, morus alba fruit, and wheat germ extracts, our serum provides comprehensive skincare benefits, leaving your skin feeling hydrated, rejuvenated and visibly smoother
3. Switch to a Richer Moisturiser
Light lotions might not cut it during Winter. Look for a formula that locks in hydration and reinforces the barrier.
Try: Bloc Heavy Moisturiser
Formulated with a rich combination of hydrating ingredients and potent extracts, this moisturiser delivers long-lasting moisture to leave your skin feeling soft, supple and rejuvenated.
4. Don't Skip SPF (Even in Winter)
UV rays don’t take a holiday - and in fact, they can be even more intense when reflected off cold surfaces.
Quick Winter Skin Tips:
- Use lukewarm water instead of hot when cleansing
- Invest in a humidifier for your bedroom or workspace
- Apply moisturiser to damp skin to help lock in hydration
- Keep a lip balm and hand cream on hand (your skin will thank you)
Winter skincare doesn’t have to be complicated - just intentional. By choosing barrier-supporting ingredients and upgrading your hydration game, you’ll help your skin stay calm, clear and comfortable all season long.
