Top Winter Skincare Must-Haves from Nykaa

Winter is here — and while cosy sweaters and hot cocoa are irresistible, your skin might not feel so happy about the drop in humidity and rising indoor heating. Cold air, dry winds and central heating can strip your skin’s moisture, making it dull, flaky or tight. 

The good news? With the right winter skincare routine and some smart tricks, you can keep your skin glowing, hydrated and protected all season long.
And since you’re shopping via Nykaa anyway, let’s stack the goodies with a money-back or cash-back angle (via CashPromise!) so you get more value while nurturing your skin.

Why winter skincare deserves an upgrade

  • In winter, your skin barrier gets stressed: dry air + less humidity = faster moisture loss. 

  • Even oily or combo skin types need hydration — skipping moisturiser can lead to excess oil/sebum trying to compensate. 

  • Don’t skip sunscreen: UV rays are still around, even in winter. 

  • Choose richer formulas or barrier-repair ingredients like ceramides, hyaluronic acid, shea butter to support your skin.

The Money-Back Trick (via CashPromise)

  1. Shop your skincare on Nykaa, using your account.

  2. Before checkout, go via the CashPromise platform so your purchase qualifies for a cash-back / reward from CashPromise. (Ensure participating items are eligible.)

  3. Complete the purchase, submit any tracking required by CashPromise and get the Money back into your account.

  4. Effectively you’re paying less for your skincare essentials — win for your skin and your wallet!

Tip: Keep an eye out for Nykaa special offers + seasonal bundles (winter care has its own section) on Nykaa. Pair a good sale with your cash-back and you’ve got a great deal.

Tips specific to winter

  • Avoid very hot showers; use lukewarm water so as not to strip skin oils.

  • Use humidifier or keep indoor air slightly humid if possible. 

  • Drink plenty of water, eat healthy fats to support your skin from inside.
