This week’s uninterrupted conversation is brought to you in partnership with our friends at Aveeno. This week, we’re sitting down with top dermatologist Dr. Kim Blakely, who’s here to explain her tried-and-true methods for getting your healthiest skin for the fall and winter months. Dr. Blakely explains what’s really happening when your barrier is compromised, which everyday habits make the cracks in your skin even worse, and how to build a dermatologist-approved winter skincare routine that *actually* keeps your complexion calm and resilient.
You’ll learn:
- Why your skin barrier weakens during cold, dry weather – and how to recognize the early warning signs.
- Ceramides, niacinamide, azelaic acid and oat – the ingredients that this dermatologist relies on most for barrier repair and long-lasting moisture.
- The *right way* to apply moisturizer and what to layer next for maximum hydration and locked-in results.
- How long you should wait in between skincare steps – and why timing is key to your skin barrier routine.
- Dr. Blakely’s “short contact therapy” hacks for using retinol and other actives all season long – while keeping a fragile barrier in tact.
