Halloween is just around the corner, bringing one of our favorite times of the year. It’s the perfect moment to find the ideal outfit that matches the main character vibes we want to serve this season. Between costumes and pumpkins, it’s easy to forget something super important: our skin! But we can't ignore it, because soon enough, another season will test its natural hydration.
Winter is coming, and with it, the perfect time to snuggle under warm blankets, enjoy our favorite movies, drink hot coffee, and rock oversized scarves that hug our necks. However, winter can also turn into a nightmare, sucking the moisture out of our skin, leaving it dry and dull. But don't worry! This year, we’ve got all the tips you need to make sure this beloved season doesn't become the villain in your story. Instead, you can be the ghostbuster chasing away those dryness ghosts.
Love potions to die for
If your Hogwarts letter hasn’t arrived yet, and you're still waiting, the Jess Beauty team has some magical potions that will make you feel like you’re in a real-life Potions class for a while.
PHA (Gluconolactone) + Macadamia Seed Oil
Imagine a magical potion that exfoliates your skin without irritation while moisturizing it at the same time. That's exactly what the combination of PHA (gluconolactone) and macadamia seed oil does. PHA is known for being a gentle chemical exfoliant that removes dead skin cells, revealing a fresher, more radiant complexion. When paired with macadamia seed oil, rich in fatty acids and antioxidants, this combo nourishes and softens your skin at the same time.
Magical recommendation: Try the Phabulous Chemical Exfoliant. This potion is perfect for achieving the best exfoliation without drying out your skin. Use it before Halloween so your makeup looks flawless and your skin glows under the full October moon.
Niacinamide + Tranexamic Acid
If you're looking for intense hydration that brings your skin back to life, this is the secret potion you need. Niacinamide is a form of Vitamin B3 that improves your skin's natural barrier, helping retain moisture and reducing the appearance of pores. Tranexamic acid, on the other hand, is a key ingredient that helps even out skin tone and reduce dark spots.
Hydrating elixir: The Shine Bright Serum combines these ingredients to offer deep hydration and a healthy glow.
Vitamin C + Panthenol
For deep hydration and antioxidant protection, nothing beats this enchanting formula. Vitamin C is famous for its ability to brighten the skin, while panthenol (provitamin B5) is known for its moisturizing and soothing properties.
Final spell: Complete your ritual with the C-Bomb Moisturizing Cream. This cream is literally a bomb to lock in hydration and leave your skin soft and supple. It's the perfect final touch to protect your skin from the winter chill.

Let your dry skin rest in peace
Winter can be scary for our skin, but with these 10 tips, dry skin will be a thing of the past:
- Hydrate from the inside: Drink water and warm teas to keep your skin hydrated.
- Opt for warm, brief showers: Hot water dries out the skin; go for moderate temperatures.
- Use a humidifier: Add moisture to the air at home to avoid dry skin.
- Moisturize after washing: Apply moisturizer right after showering or washing your face.
- Gentle exfoliation: Remove dead skin cells with gentle chemical exfoliants like PHAs.
- Daily sunscreen: Use it even on cloudy days to protect against UV rays.
- Humectant ingredients: Look for products with hyaluronic acid and glycerin.
- Avoid alcohol and harsh fragrances: They can irritate and dry out sensitive skin.
- Protect your skin from the cold: Wear scarves and gloves to shield your skin from wind and low temperatures.
- Healthy diet: Incorporate antioxidants and omega-3s into your diet to nourish your skin from within.
Now, let’s play a fun Trick or Treat game to test your winter skincare knowledge! How does it work? I’ll make some statements, and you’ll have to decide if they’re a Treat (true) or a Trick (false).
