When winter hits, hydration alone doesn’t always cut it. Cold weather, indoor heating, and long hot showers can strip your skin, leaving it dry, dull, and flaky no matter how much moisturiser you apply. That’s where the face oil + face cream duo comes in. Layering your skincare with an oil on top of your cream doesn’t just feel luxe, it locks in moisture and adds serious glow. It’s not about doing more, it’s about doing it right. Cream hydrates, oil seals it in. The result? Skin that stays soft, dewy, and lit-from-within, even on the coldest days. Here’s how to make your winter skin routine work smarter.
Step 1: Crème de la Crème Face Cream
When it comes to hydration, Crème de la Crème is the moisturiser of your dreams. This rich-yet-lightweight cream features 4% Squalane to soften and smooth, and 2% Niacinamide to help regulate oil, even skin tone, and boost barrier strength. The result? Skin that feels plump, nourished, and stays hydrated all day — no flakes, no tightness, just cloud-soft skin. Its creamy, fast-absorbing texture makes it the perfect first step in your winter skin layering routine.
Step 2: Plump Fiction Face Oil
Finish with Plump Fiction, the non-greasy face oil that delivers serious nourishment without clogging pores. Packed with calming botanicals and powered by Blue Oleoactif, it soothes dry skin, protects against blue light and pollution, and gives your face that fresh-from-vacay radiance. Mix 1–2 drops into your Crème de la Crème before applying, or layer it on top to lock everything in. And yes — 26¢ per use, used twice daily over three months. Basically free. Girl math wins again.
Let’s Be Real
In winter, your skin needs more than just hydration — it needs protection. Cream hydrates, oil locks it in. Together, they create a moisture barrier that keeps your skin bouncy, soothed, and shielded from the elements. Translation: fewer flakes, no tightness, and a next-level glow that doesn’t quit.
Why It Works
Hydrating without sealing it in is like pouring hot tea into a paper cup — it won’t stay warm for long. That’s why this combo works: Crème de la Crème floods your skin with moisture, while Plump Fiction seals it in and keeps it there, acting as a protective layer against the cold, dry air. The result? Skin that’s not just hydrated but deeply nourished, visibly plumper, and radiantly calm.
