If you’re struggling with dry skin during Canadian winters, your skincare routine needs to do more than just moisturize – it should hydrate deeply, strengthen your skin’s natural barrier, and avoid harsh or stripping ingredients.
Why Canadian Winters Cause Dry Skin
Canadian winters are notoriously tough on the skin. The combination of freezing temperatures, dry air, and harsh winds weakens your skin’s natural lipid barrier – the protective layer that helps lock in moisture and keep your complexion soft and comfortable. Once that barrier is compromised, water evaporates more quickly, leading to rough texture, flakiness, tightness, and increased sensitivity.
To make matters worse, indoor heating and long, hot showers – common comforts during cold months – can strip away even more moisture from the skin’s surface.
That’s why it’s essential to treat dry winter skin with gentle, organic skincare that supports barrier repair. Choosing Eminence Organics products means avoiding harsh ingredients like drying alcohols and synthetic fragrances, while nourishing your skin with botanically rich, deeply hydrating formulas that restore balance naturally.
Choose gentle, moisture-rich cleansers
The first step to treat dry skin naturally in Canadian winters using organic skincare is to cleanse without stripping.
For dry or mature skin, a gentle option like Eminence Organics Coconut Milk Cleanser helps clean without stripping moisture.
Build hydration with organic toners and essences
After cleansing, a hydrating toner or essence prepares dry skin to absorb the next layers more effectively. This step should focus on soothing botanicals, aloe, stone crop and humectants instead of alcohol.
After cleansing, spritz a hydrating mist like the Eminence Organics Stone Crop Hydrating Mist to boost moisture and prepare your skin for serum.
Layer targeted serums for deep moisture
Serums are powerful for treating dry skin because they deliver concentrated hydration and nutrients. Look for products that include plant-based hyaluronic acid, antioxidant vitamin blends, and calming extracts to support both moisture and resilience.
For deep hydration, you can add Eminence Organics Stone Crop Serum, and for extra firmness, layer Bamboo Firming Fluid underneath your cream.

Nourish with a rich organic moisturiser
To treat dry skin naturally during harsh Canadian winters, a moisture-rich cream is essential – especially when using clean, organic skincare. Formulas that include plant oils, shea butter, and age-supportive botanicals help seal in hydration, restore elasticity, and defend against cold outdoor air and dehydrating indoor heat.
At The Facial Room, we recommend the Eminence Organics Coconut Age Corrective Moisturizer for dry or mature skin. Powered by organic coconut and green apple stem cell technology, this luxurious cream deeply nourishes while helping improve firmness and resilience. For added hydration, apply a slightly thicker layer at night to create a calming, mask-like effect as you sleep – waking up to soft, supple, and restored skin.
Add a facial oil for extra comfort
Facial oils are one of the best ways to treat dry skin naturally during Canadian winters because they replenish lost lipids and support the barrier. Oils rich in fatty acids, herbs, and botanicals soothe tightness and leave the skin feeling supple rather than greasy.
If your skin still feels tight, use a few drops of Eminence Organics Facial Recovery Oil over your moisturiser for extra nourishment.
Treat the delicate eye area
The eye area is often the first place to show dryness and fine lines in winter because the skin is thin and exposed to the elements. An eye cream with plant peptides, botanical hyaluronic acid, and algae extracts can make a visible difference.
To protect the delicate eye area from dryness and fine lines, apply a small amount of Eminence Organics Marine Flower Peptide Eye Cream morning and night. This simple step helps complete your winter routine.
Use weekly masks to boost hydration
When your skin feels extremely dry or dull, weekly masks are a great, natural option. Hydrating masks with pumpkin, hyaluronic acid, vitamin-rich fruits, and soothing botanicals help restore bounce and comfort.
Once or twice a week, pamper your skin with Eminence Organics Pumpkin Latte Hydration Masque.
The Facial Room dry skin collection includes both deeply hydrating and glow‑boosting masks that can be used once or twice per week after cleansing. Choose a rich hydrating mask when your skin feels tight, and switch to a radiance mask like the Eminence Organics Mango Exfoliating Enzyme Masque when you want an extra boost of glow.
Optional: Support skin with gentle exfoliation
Gentle exfoliation helps remove dry, flaky cells that can sit on top of the skin and block moisture from sinking in. Once or twice a week, using a soft powder or enzyme‑based exfoliant can smooth texture without damaging the barrier. Follow serum, cream, and facial oil to keep the skin calm and hydrated.
