As winter’s chill takes hold, our skin faces unique challenges. Cold outdoor air and heated indoor environments can leave skin drier, thinner, and more prone to irritation. For those managing sensitive skin, eczema, or early signs of skin ageing, this can lead to discomfort and accelerated skin damage. However, with a toxin-free epigenetic skincare system designed to nourish and protect the skin cells, you can maintain a radiant complexion all season long.
Winter Skin Challenges and Solutions
Winter weather increases transepidermal water loss (TEWL), leaving skin dehydrated, flaky, and irritated. While heavy creams might seem like a solution, they often hinder cellular processes. And this problem is compounded for those who have acne-prone skin or very dry skin. Instead, layering lightweight products with balanced water and oil components is the ideal approach for protecting the skin barrier while encouraging repair.
Skin Care Steps for Radiant Winter Skin
Skin Dilgient's well-structured skin care system will keep your skin glowing throughout winter. Here’s how to layer effectively for premature skin ageing:
MORNING CARE
1. Gentle Manual Exfoliation
Use a cotton pad moistened with mineral water, floral water, or toner to remove dead skin cells gently. This prepares the skin to absorb hydration while improving texture.
2. Hydrate with Cellular Hydration Serum
Apply 3–5 drops of this hydrating serum enriched with probiotics to strengthen the skin barrier, enhance cellular hydration, add vitamin D, and promote healthy cellular function.
3. Add Antioxidants with Vitamin C Serum in Oil
Follow with a Vitamin C serum in oil to deliver antioxidants that combat free radicals, brighten the complexion, and nourish the skin. Remember this serum contains a form of a vitamin C that is lipid and considered a quasi-drug in Korea and Japan.
4. Optional: Apply Exosome Advanced Night Cream
On days when your skin needs extra care, add an extra layer of this cream for enhanced moisturisation. Despite its name, this high-tech epigenetic product is suitable for daytime use and supports cellular functions and improves skin barrier.

EVENING CARE
1. Cleanse with Triple Action Cleanser
Use makeup remover first if you are wearing eye makeup. Then remove pollutants and impurities with a cleanser containing probiotics and glycerin to preserve hydration and support the skin’s microbiome.
2. Reinforce with Vitamin C Serum in Oil
In winter, reapply the serum to promote overnight repair and boost collagen production, crucial for addressing signs of premature skin ageing.
3. Lock in Moisture with Exosome Advanced Night Cream
Complete your evening skin care with this reparative cream that encourages cellular regeneration, provides lasting moisturisation, boosts the capacity of the skin to regulate its own natural oils and improves the longevity of skin cells.
Why Gentle Manual Exfoliation is Key
In winter, gentle exfoliation helps maintain a smooth, even texture by removing dead skin cells and supporting cell turnover. This step enhances the efficacy of subsequent skin care products, making it especially useful for improving uneven skin tone and texture.
Boost Winter Skin with Small Lifestyle Changes
Healthy skin also benefits from a supportive environment and balanced lifestyle choices:
1. Improve indoor air quality with HEPA filters, avoid burning candles unless they are natural alternatives like beeswax candles.
2. Stay hydrated and include antioxidant-rich foods like berries, spinach, and kale in your diet.
3. Prioritise rest with a minimum of 7 hours of sleep each night to encourage natural skin repair.
Support Your Skin from Within
A 3-month course of Skin & Stress food supplements containing antioxidants and other micronutrients can enhance your skin’s resilience and support epigenetic processes. This is particularly helpful for tackling stress-related skin issues during winter.
Embrace Winter with Confidence
By following a thoughtfully designed skin care system and making small lifestyle adjustments, you can protect your skin from winter’s harsh effects. Focus on nourishing your skin with products that support its natural functions, and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with choosing toxin-free, scientifically backed Skin Diligent formulations.
