The last time we spoke to specialist dermatologist Dr Ryan De Cruz, he shared his knowledge on all things isolation skin- skin that is irritated, stressed and acting out. We took Dr Ryan’s advice and we healed our isolation skin - and then winter hit, and with it came a whole new list of skin woes.

So many listeners and glowjournal.com readers have reached out to me in recent weeks looking for winter skin salves - products to protect their skin from the winter chill and artificial heating and products to heal their sore, dry, irritated skin. As you know, I am an educated consumer and not an expert and, given how much we all learnt from Dr Ryan last time, I insisted on taking your winter skin questions back to him.

In the name of full disclosure, this episode is sponsored by CeraVe, however as per all of my expert interviews, the guest doctor is never here to push specific brands and products. For this reason, you’ll hear Dr De Cruz recommend specific ingredients like ceramides, rather than products, giving you the tools you need to make your own, educated purchasing decisions.

I took to Instagram recently to collate your skin questions, and in this episode Dr Ryan discusses talks all things winter skin- from why our sensitivities are heightened during the colder months, and how to deal with dry skin and acne simultaneously, to the ideal shower temperature, and why your hyaluronic acid serum might not actually be doing a single thing for your skin.
