Yeah, I’m the same, start wearing heavier cream, and also don’t bother that much with spf (naughty I know, but the sun doesn’t shine that much in England in the winter, lol).

I also go with a heavier cream. Even thou I have oily skin, winters in NYC can leave me with dry patches. I also switch to foundation instead of just tinted moisturizer.

I make sure to apply cream everyday (although my skin doesn’t get dry easily) and I also tend to wear more make-up (less sweaty than in the summer :))

My skin regiment doesn’t change much except I use heavier moisturizers on my body. My face is oily so no change needed. Besides being able to get away with heavier foundations like Studio Sculpt by MAC.

I still use my spf moisturizer for my face, but I find the real toll of winter is on my hair, lips, and hands. I wash my hair less and condition it more, slather on lip balm more often, apply cuticle oil nightly and repeatedly apply hand lotion throughout the day.

Definitely more moisturizing products– lotions, conditioners, creams… I have to *always* carry a lipbalm with me. I also put more sunscreen on during winter since I like to go outside more in cold weather. Biking is more fun when its chilly for some reason. :3

I switch to a heavier moisturizer for day time, I find my self applying more make up in the colder weather cause it won’t just melt off my face. My lip are extremely dry so i make sure to scrub and put on a thick lip balm at all time, my favorites is from sara happ… At night I put on the thickest night cream I can find and an eyes balm…

My routine definitely changes up a bit. I have to start actually remembering to put on body lotion daily, otherwise my skin gets really itchy from the dryness. I also switch up my moisturizer a slightly heavier one, I do hydrating masks more often, and I definitely bust out the darker colors. I also start using a glossing cream in my hair to keep it from frying in all the indoor heating.

Mine doesn’t change since i have oily skin and winter doesn’t do much of an effect to my skin. And I live in Southern California so winter isn’t really winter down here.
