Is your skin feeling dry, tight and flaky this winter? Not only can the harsher climate make our mood blue, but it can also play havoc with our skin. Cool winter temperatures and low humidity levels combined with hot showers can pull moisture from the skin.
On the surface, skin looks dull, feels tight and dry, and fine lines are more pronounced. At a microscopic level, a lack of moisture and oil weakens our skin’s natural protective barrier, leaving it susceptible to redness, irritation and sensitivity. And if we don’t do our part in repairing and protecting our skin’s barrier, we may show the signs of ageing earlier than we’d like.
Just as we need an extra layer or two of clothing during the cooler months, our skin also benefits from extra layers of moisture. Layering a hydrating booster, a peptide serum or a facial oil onto the skin is a great way to nourish your skin and top up moisture levels, navigating your skin successfully through the winter season.
Unlock the power of oils Skin loves and responds brilliantly to facial oils; smoothing the texture, softening fine lines, protecting and nourishing the skin and creating a radiant, healthy glow. Most people enjoy using today’s innovative facial oils and serums due to their fast absorbency and feather light texture. Rule of thumb: the drier the skin, the greater the need for oils, which is why winter is prime time to gift your skin with an oil-based serum.
Let’s talk about Dermalogica’s two DEWlighful oils…Phyto Replenish Oil and Overnight Repair Serum Now is the perfect time to introduce your skin to Phyto Replenish Oil and the AGE Smart® Overnight Repair Serum for an around the clock dewy glow. Together, this power duo will help seal in critical moisture, whilst protecting against premature ageing caused by a harsher climate.
Phyto Replenish Oil Next-generation formula takes a three-phase approach to strengthen, hydrate and shield for healthy, hydrated, dewy skin.
- Camellia Japonica Seed Oil and Tamanu Oil work together to reinforce the skin’s protective barrier and relive skin redness.
- Chia Seed Oil, Orchid Flower Extract and a Hyaluronic Acid booster dramatically hydrate the skin, helping smooth visible fine lines and leaving skin silky smooth.
- Sunflower, Rosemary and Rice Bran Extracts create a luminous antioxidant shield over the skin to protect against free radical damage and deliver a dewy glow.
Who’s it for? All skins, especially dry and those concerned with premature ageing skin.

- Argan Oil and Brown Seaweed, both rich in antioxidants, protect against accelerated ageing, whilst restoring a weakened skin barrier.

Smooth 4 to 6 drops onto cleansed skin, and if preferred, follow with your night time moisturiser. Alternatively, to power up your night time moisturiser, add a couple of drops of the serum to it.
Pro tip! Layer the AGE Smart® MultiVitamin Power Recovery Masque on top of Overnight Repair Serum and leave on overnight for an intensive winter treatment.
Top tips for your day to night facial oils: 1. Blend into brows and corners of nose to combat flaky patches. 1. Massage leftover residue into nails to soften dry, cracked cuticles. 2. Help to soothe and calm skin diseases like psoriasis, eczema and atopic dermatitis (when not inflamed). 3. Look after your oils by keeping them out of direct sunlight.
