When the temperature drops, your nails and skin feel it first. Cold air, indoor heating, and constant hand washing can leave them dry, brittle, and dull. As a licensed nail tech and beauty brand owner, I know that winter beauty is all about prevention, protection, and a touch of indulgence.
Here are my top winter nail and skin care tips to keep you glowing until spring.
1. Moisturize Like It’s Your Job

Winter air pulls moisture from your skin faster than you think. To stay ahead of dryness:
-
Keep a rich, non-greasy hand cream (like MISAURA Hand Cream) in your bag, by your bed, and at your desk.
-
Apply after every hand wash to lock in hydration.
-
Focus on cuticles, knuckles, and any rough patches.
💡 Pro Tip: Layer LISHE Cuticle Oil under your hand cream for an extra protective seal.
2. Protect Your Nails from Breakage

Cold weather can make nails more brittle and prone to peeling.
-
Use cuticle oil twice a day—morning and night.
-
Wear gloves when doing dishes or cleaning.
-
Avoid using your nails as tools (even for opening packages!).
Healthy cuticles = healthy nail growth, so this step is non-negotiable.
3. Gentle Exfoliation is Key

Flaky, rough skin is common in winter, but over-exfoliating can make it worse.
-
Use a gentle body scrub (like Zuri Body Scrub) once or twice a week to remove dead skin without stripping moisture.
-
Follow immediately with Zuri Body Cream or Zuri Body Lotion to seal in hydration.
💡 Bonus: Exfoliating before moisturizing helps your skin absorb product better.
4. Switch to a Creamy Cleanser
SEO keywords: hydrating body wash, gentle cleanser for dry skin
Foaming cleansers can strip natural oils—something your skin needs in winter.
-
Use a hydrating formula like Zuri Hand & Body Wash that cleanses without leaving skin tight or dry.
💡 Apply lotion while your skin is still slightly damp to lock in moisture.
5. Add a Little Glow Back
SEO keywords: body mist, fresh winter fragrance, skin hydration spray
Dry, indoor air can make skin feel flat and dull.
-
Keep Zuri All-Over Body Mist in your bag for a quick hydration and scent boost during the day.
-
Opt for warm, comforting scents in winter to lift your mood.
6. Don’t Forget Your Feet
Even though they’re hidden in boots, winter feet still need love.
-
Apply body cream or lotion nightly.
-
Slip on cozy socks after moisturizing to help it soak in.
💡 Use any leftover scrub on your heels for extra smoothness.
