    Western Cape winter still strips the barrier through wind, hot showers and indoor heating. Cream on damp skin and year-round SPF beat a seasonal acid launch.

    Key takeaways

    • Cape winter dryness is wind, heaters and hot water more than a missing serum.
    • Switch to a cream cleanser and richer moisturiser on damp skin.
    • UVA continues in July. Keep SPF on face, neck and hands.
