How to Winter-Proof Your Skin — the Äkta Way

Our guide to keeping skin soft, strong, and radiant all winter long.

As temperatures drop and heaters switch on, your skin’s needs shift too. Winter weather can leave the skin dry, sensitised, and lacking its usual glow. The good news? With the right products and rituals, you can keep your skin deeply hydrated, nourished, and protected throughout the colder months.

Here’s how to winter-proof your skin with some of our most-loved products:

1. Boost Hydration with Serums

Serums are your first layer of defence against winter dehydration. They deliver concentrated active ingredients deep into the skin - and hydration is key.

Dermatonics Hyaluronic Acid Serum: This one is a winter essential. Packed with multi-molecular hyaluronic acid, it pulls water into the skin and plumps from within-perfect for tackling that tight, dry feeling.
Saya Glow Serum: Think of this as your daily radiance boost. With a beautiful blend of Vitamin C, Kakadu Plum and Hyaluronic Acid, it hydrates and brightens, helping tired, dull skin look fresh again.

2. Lock It In with Deep Hydrating Moisturisers

Once you’ve added hydration, you need to seal it in with a rich moisturiser to protect your barrier from the elements.

• RAAIE Cocoon Ceramide Cream: Luxurious yet gentle, this ceramide-rich cream works like a warm hug for dry skin. It strengthens your barrier, deeply nourishes, and helps calm inflammation.

• Founders Formula Snake Vine Moisturiser: A plant-based powerhouse that supports the skin’s natural repair processes. Its rich texture makes it ideal for overnight use or extra-dry days.

3. Your Skin’s SOS: Founders Formula CALM

When your skin is feeling overwhelmed-red, reactive, or simply stressed- CALM is your go-to. This fan-favourite serum soothes inflammation, reduces flare-ups, and restores balance. It’s like first aid for your face, but in the most elegant, effective way.

Britt’s Additional Winter Skin Ritual Tips:

While good quality skincare made from non-toxic ingredients is important for nourishing your skin through the harsh, winter months, it’s important to remember that what we put into our body is just as important as what we put on the outside.

Other simple tips that can easily be overlooked include:

Avoiding over-exfoliating - focus on nourishment instead.
Don’t skip SPF! UV rays are still present in winter.
