Bangladesh's dry season runs November to February, with Dhaka humidity falling below 40%. Skin loses water to the air faster than it can replace it — which is why even oily skin feels tight in January.
1. Swap the cleanser
A cream or gel cleanser instead of a stripping foam.
2. Add a hydrating layer
Toner or essence on damp skin, before moisturizer.
3. Move to a richer moisturizer
Ceramides and a thicker texture. This is the single biggest winter upgrade.
4. Keep sunscreen daily
Winter sun still ages skin, and Dhaka's winter haze does not block UV.
5. Cut back on actives
A compromised winter barrier reacts harder to acids and retinol.
6. Do not forget lips, hands and feet
These crack first because they have the fewest oil glands.
