Oleogel Plus: Winter Protection for the Skin Barrier

Cold weather, wind, and low humidity can place significant stress on the skin barrier—especially during long Canadian winters. When the skin barrier becomes compromised, moisture loss increases and the skin is more prone to irritation, sensitivity, and discomfort.

Oleogel Plus is designed to support skin barrier protection during these challenging conditions. Rather than acting as a traditional heavy cream, it forms a breathable protective layer that helps shield the skin from environmental stress while supporting the skin’s natural function.

When Oleogel Plus Is Especially Helpful

Oleogel Plus is particularly beneficial for:

• extreme cold or windy weather

• outdoor winter activities

• compromised or sensitized skin

• post-treatment skin requiring additional protection

Oleogel Plus is typically used as the final step in a skincare routine, either on its own or layered over a moisturizer when extra barrier support is needed. It does not replace hydration—instead, it helps reduce moisture loss and protect the skin barrier in harsh conditions.

For those following a corneotherapy-based skincare approach, Oleogel Plus offers intentional protection without disrupting the skin’s natural processes.

Effective winter skincare isn’t always about adding more products. Sometimes, it’s about choosing the proper support at the right time.

Oleogel Plus is available through Skin Care by Shawna in Dawson Creek, BC, and through the online store.
