Food For Your Skin: Winter Edition

Your dermatologist-approved guide to what your skin wants on its plate this season.

 

Winter is that time of year when your skin feels personally victimised by the weather.
Low humidity + cold air + heaters = dryness, dullness, flaking, and sometimes breakouts.

Yes, topical skincare helps (hi, Morphology).
But your skin is also the largest organ — and it eats.

Let’s talk about the foods that are basically Barrier Trap but edible.

 

 

🥑 1. Healthy Fats = Softer, Plumper, Happier Skin

 

 

Your barrier is made mostly of lipids — so winter is the time to eat them.

Winter-friendly sources:

  • Avocados

  • Walnuts

  • Almonds

  • Flaxseeds

  • Chia seeds

  • Olive oil

  • Ghee

Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids = calmer, hydrated, more elastic skin.

 

 

🍊 2. Vitamin C = Your Winter Glow Support System

Winter-friendly sources:

  • Oranges

  • Amla

  • Kiwi

  • Strawberries

  • Guava

Vitamin C keeps collagen happy and complexion bright.

 

 

🥕 3. Beta-Carotene = Natural Retinoid Support

Foods to include:

  • Carrots

  • Sweet potatoes

  • Pumpkins

  • Spinach

These help cell turnover, repair dryness, and keep skin even-toned.

 

 

🍇 4. Antioxidants = Pollution + UV Defense

Eat more:

  • Pomegranates

  • Blueberries

  • Grapes

  • Beetroot

Free radicals peak in winter — antioxidants keep skin calm and radiant.

 

 

🫘 5. Protein = Skin Repair Material

Protein-rich options:

  • Paneer

  • Greek yogurt

  • Lentils

  • Chickpeas

  • Eggs

  • Fish

Protein = better healing + stronger barrier + smoother winter skin.

 

 

💧 6. Hydrating Foods = Internal Moisturiser

Hydration (without forcing yourself to chug water):

  • Coconut water

  • Oranges

  • Tomatoes

  • Cucumbers

  • Soups

Warm hydration is winter’s best friend.

 

 

⭐ Topical + Internal = Winter Skin That Behaves

Morphology Topical Support:

  • Pore Over → gentle, non-stripping cleanse

  • Barrier Trap → ceramides + fatty acids + hydration

  • Ray of Hope → UV protection + lipid replenishment

Internal Support:

Healthy fats • Vitamin C • Beta-carotene • Protein • Antioxidants • Hydration foods

Your best skin comes when you support the barrier from both ends.
