Cracked Lips, Red Cheeks: How to Soothe Cold Weather Sensitivity

Simple At-Home Fixes & Soothing Salon Treatments for Winter Skin Relief

As the temperature drops, many of us start to notice the same seasonal symptoms: tight, dry skin, sore red cheeks, and painfully cracked lipsCold weather sensitivity is real—and for those with already delicate or reactive skin, winter can feel like a battle.

At ICONIC Beautique in Evesham, we know how to protect and calm your skin with both expert advice and professional treatments that make a real difference.

❄️ What Causes Winter Skin Sensitivity?

Colder weather brings lower humidity, biting winds, and indoor heating—ingredients for dryness, inflammation, and irritation. You might experience:

  • Flaky or rough skin around the nose, cheeks, and lips

  • Redness that doesn’t fade easily (especially on the cheeks and chin)

  • Tight, stinging sensations after cleansing or going outside

  • Cracked or split lips that sting when eating spicy or acidic foods

🏡 5 At-Home Tips to Calm Winter Skin

1. Switch to a Gentle Cream Cleanser
Foaming or gel cleansers can strip your skin barrier. Choose a hydrating cream cleanser that comforts your skin while cleansing.

2. Apply a Barrier-Repairing Moisturiser
Look for ingredients like ceramides, hyaluronic acid, squalane, and niacinamide to rebuild your skin’s protective layer.

3. Use a Hydrating Lip Balm (and Apply It Often)
We love balms with beeswax, lanolin, shea butter, or nourishing oils. Avoid menthol or synthetic fragrance if your lips are cracked.

4. Try a Humidifier at Night
Central heating dries out indoor air. A humidifier restores balance and helps your skin hold onto moisture while you sleep.

5. Don’t Skip SPF
Yes—even in winter! UV rays can still trigger sensitivity and redness, especially on already-inflamed cheeks.
