So, yeah, so my winter routine, what I do do wrong, I still do my three-step AM, three-step PM.

I'll still do my treatment, AHA, BHA treatment once a fortnight.

However, I double hydrate in the morning.

So I use the lighter moisturizer, then I put the hydration over the top.

And then I use my niacinamide with vitamin C morning and night because, you know, niacinamide is really good to enhance natural ceramide production, which is a great natural moisturizing factor.

So when we've got higher sensitivity and dryness, I double that up and then I double moisturize.

I still use the same cleansers, same SPF, same everything else.

The main thing is more moisturizer, more hydration, and I do the enriched one morning and night.
