You know how we switch up our wardrobes with the seasons? Tank tops for those blazing summer days and cosy puffer jackets for chilly winters. Well, it seems our skincare needs a seasonal update too! Lately, there’s been quite the buzz about tailoring skincare to the time of year and a celebrity who recently jumped on this trend is Kriti Sanon.
The Mimi star took to Instagram recently to unveil her winter skincare secrets in a pretty comprehensive video titled “Skincare Diaries.” If you’re looking to replicate her glowing skin with products that truly care for the skin this season, keep reading!
All The Products Kriti Uses Plus Some Dupes
Step 1: Winter skin needs a gentle yet effective start, and Kriti swears by double cleansing. This two-step process ensures that all traces of makeup, dirt, and pollutants are whisked away, leaving your skin fresh and ready for the next steps. She starts with either a micellar water, cleansing balm or cleansing oil for a deep cleanse and follows it up with a facewash.
Step 2: Kriti’s DIY toner, a mix of rose water and glycerin, is a winter must-have. This homemade concoction is perfect for keeping your skin hydrated and glowing.

Step 3: The Hyphen founder’s next step is, of course, a Hyphen product. She likes to go in with the Golden Hour Glow Serum which is allegedly enriched with antioxidants, made to battle winter dullness.
In case you’re looking for something more affordable, you can try the St.Botanica Vitamin C 20% + Vitamin E & Hyaluronic Acid Facial Serum instead.
Step 4: Kriti emphasises that a barrier care cream is crucial for the winter season. Using a barrier repair cream or serum helps to fortify your skin’s natural barrier, protecting it against harsh winter elements and dryness. A good cream for the weather is the Hyphen BCC and the Dot & Key Barrier Repair Ceramides & Hyaluronic Hydrating Face Cream.
Step 5: For maximum hydration, Kriti recommends following your moisturiser with a face oil. A face oil provides your skin with deep nourishment and keeps the skin supple through dry weather. While she does not mention hers, here’s a recommendation from us!
Step 6: The last step is to make sure you don’t forget your brows, lips and lashes! Kriti uses a blend of olive and castor oils for healthy, strong hair growth. For her lips, she goes in with the VIP Lip Balm but here’s another one you can try instead!
There you have it, Kriti Sanon’s winter skincare routine is all about nurturing your skin and protecting that barrier. With these simple steps, your skin should be able to brave the cold while looking its best.
