While you ask yourself ‘Why do I need to change my skincare routine?’ Let us tell you that as the weather changes, your body’s way of functioning changes too. The outer layer of your skin tends to be drier and flakier as compared to summer months. While you won’t need to make many changes, you certainly cannot stop looking after your skin amidst this season.
The first step towards preserving your skin's moisture during winter is recognising the signs that indicate a skincare routine adjustment is necessary. Look out for skin woes such as dryness or tightness. Once you notice these changes, it's time to take proactive measures to protect and nourish your skin.
As winter arrives, both dry and oily skin experience texture changes. Adapt your skincare routine with the best winter products for a smooth transition.
Face washes teemed with calming ingredients come in handy during winter months. Many skincare products might contain sulphates and lathering agents, so we recommend the best face wash for dry skin and that is our 100% soap-free, Refreshing Face Wash. This one won’t strip your skin of its natural oils and also steer clear of dry winter skin. You can also lay your hands on our Water Boost Micellar Facial Wash that lends a glowy appearance during winters and takes care of parched skin.
These solid skin products lend a healthy skin barrier during winters and are your best bets to keep your skin squeaky clean.
Okay, this might sound a bit intimidating but don’t keep your exfoliators in the cabinet. Dead skin cells as well as clogged pores will stop your moisturisers from sinking into your skin. An exfoliator like our Active Skin Barrier Care Smoothing Gel Cleanser will buff away harsh impurities, thanks to the infusion of Lactic acid in it. Gentle on skin and with other calming ingredients, this cleanser will do the trick.
Winter calls for an extra layer of defence against the harsh elements, and a potent serum for dry skin is your secret weapon. Opt for formulations featuring powerhouse ingredients like Hyaluronic acid, a moisture magnet, which nourishes and protects. This addition to your routine ensures that your skin receives concentrated doses of hydration that help combat winter dryness.
In the summer, a lighter lotion might have sufficed, but winter needs more focus on hydration. To prevent chapping, humectants like Hyaluronic acid and Glycerin draw moisture from the atmosphere into the skin's deeper layers. Transitioning to winter skincare means opting for a richer moisturiser. Opt for Ceramide based products that also help strengthen skin barrier. These creams include hydrating ingredients that become a great option during winter months.
Whether you are relaxing indoors or taking a walk outside. Oh, wait, or let’s say it’s cloudy, a sunscreen is quite important. During winters, sunscreen is a real deal and it’s best to use it on a daily basis.
Under eye area is quite delicate and it needs extra protection even in winters. Add this to your skincare routine. Here’s our Protect N Glow Vitamin C Brightening Under Eye Gel. This one with its Vitamin C love, helps hydrate your under eye area.
Looking for detoxifying mask for hydration during winters? Check out our Protect N Glow Vitamin C Brighten Clay Mask. The best option for all skin types, this one lends perfect nourishment to your skin.
A. Yes, adjusting your skincare routine for winter is advisable. The colder months often bring lower humidity, leading to drier skin. Consider incorporating richer moisturisers, hydrating cleansers, and protective ingredients like Ceramides to combat the effects of winter dryness.
A. Absolutely. Niacinamide, also known as Vitamin B3, is a versatile skincare ingredient suitable for all seasons, including winter. It helps improve skin texture, reduce inflammation, and maintain a healthy barrier function.
A. No, you shouldn't skip toner in winter. Instead, opt for a hydrating and alcohol-free toner. Toners can help balance the skin's pH, prepare it for subsequent skincare steps, and add an extra layer of hydration. Ensure your skin stays moisturised and refreshed even in the winter chill.
We know that you care about your personal data and how it is used, and we want you to trust that Unilever uses your personal data carefully. This Privacy Notice will help you understand what personal data we collect, why we collect it and what we do with it.
As you read our Notice, please keep in mind that it applies to all Hindustan Unilever Limited.
Please take a moment to familiarise yourself with our privacy practices and let us know if you have any questions by sending us an email to Customer Care or submitting a request through the “Contact Us” form on our websites.
We have tried to keep this Notice as simple as possible, but if you’re not familiar with terms, such as cookies, IP addresses, and browsers, then please read about these key terms first.
You have the right to object to certain uses of your personal data including the use of your personal data for direct marketing. See what your rights are and how you can exercise them here.
Any personal data provided to or collected by Unilever is controlled by Hindustan Unilever Limited, the data controller.
This Privacy Notice applies to personal data collected by Unilever in connection with the services and products we offer. References to “Unilever” in this Notice means Hindustan Unilever Limited and any company directly or indirectly owned and/or controlled by Hindustan Unilever Limited that you are interacting with or have a business relationship with.
This Privacy Notice also applies to Unilever’s marketing content, including offers and advertisements for Unilever products and services, which we (or a service provider acting on our behalf) send to you on third-party websites, platforms and applications based on your site usage information. These third-party websites generally have their own Privacy Notice and Terms and Conditions. We encourage you to read them before using those websites.
Personal data means any information that can be used to identify directly or indirectly a specific individual.
You are not required to provide Unilever the personal data that we request, but if you choose not to do so, we may not be able to provide you with our products or services, or with a high quality of service or respond to any queries you may have.
We may collect personal data from a variety of sources. This includes:
Personal data means any information that can be used to identify directly or indirectly a specific individual. This definition includes personal data collected offline through our Consumer Engagement Centres, direct marketing campaigns, sweepstakes and competitions and online through our websites, applications and branded pages on third-party platforms and applications accessed or used through third-party platforms.
You may be asked to provide your personal data when you are in contact with us. Hindustan Unilever Limited companies may share your personal data with each other and other Unilever Group companies and use it in a manner consistent with this Privacy Notice. We may also combine it with other information to improve our products, services, content, and advertising.
You are not required to provide Unilever the personal data that we request, but if you choose not to do so, we may not be able to provide you with our products or services, or with a high quality of service or respond to any queries you may have.
We may collect personal data from a variety of sources. This includes:
Certain categories of personal data, such as health data, financial data, biometrics, race, ethnicity, religion, health, sexuality or biometric data are classified as “special categories of data” or “Sensitive Personal Information” and benefit from additional protection.
We limit the circumstances where we collect and process these special categories of data.
Unilever sometimes collects data related to your health such as allergies, pregnancy or skin type to send you tailored ads and relevant promotions. Unilever only collects and uses this personal data where you have provided us with your consent for us to do so. In some instances, you may have requested services or products that do not directly involve the collection of any special categories of data, but may imply or suggest your religion, health or other special categories of data.
To illustrate circumstances where Unilever collects and processes special categories of data we have provided the following examples:
We understand the importance of taking extra precautions to protect the privacy and safety of children using Unilever products and services.
Most of Unilever’s websites are designed and intended for use by adults. Where one of our websites is intended for use by a younger audience, we will obtain consent from the person with parental responsibility before we collect personal data where it is required by applicable laws and regulations (the age at which consent is necessary varies from Country to Country).
If you are a child under the age where parental consent is required in your Country, you should review the terms of this Privacy Notice with your parent or guardian to make sure you understand and accept them. If we discover that we have collected personal data from a child without consent from a parent or guardian where such consent should have been obtained, we will delete that personal data as soon as practical. Access to certain parts of the Unilever’s websites and/or eligibility to receive prizes, samples or other rewards are generally limited to users over a certain age.
We sometimes use your personal data to carry out age verification checks and enforce any such age restrictions.
We collect, process and disclose your personal data only for specific and limited purposes. For example, to process your payments, to assess and handle any complaints, to develop and improve our products, services, communication methods and the functionality of our websites, to provide personalised products, communications and targeted advertising as well as product recommendations to you.
We also create profiles by analysing the information about your online surfing, searching and buying behaviour and your interactions with our brand communications by building segments (creating groups that have certain common characteristics) and by placing your personal data in one or more segments.
Additionally, Unilever processes your personal data also using automated means. An automated decision is a decision which is made solely by automatic means, where no humans are involved in the decision-making process related to your personal data.
We collect, process and disclose your personal data for the following purposes:
When we collect and use your personal data for purposes mentioned above or for other purposes, we will inform you before or at the time of collection.
Where appropriate, we will ask for your consent to process the personal data. Where you have given consent for processing activities, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.
In some cases, we rely on legitimate interest for processing your personal data. A legitimate interest could exist for example, when you sign up for a loyalty scheme with one of our brands and we use the personal data collected to conduct data analytics to improve our products or services. This ground will only be used where it is necessary to achieve a legitimate interest, for example to assist in the performance of a contract, or to optimise a service, and does not outweigh your rights as an individual. This legal basis will only be relied upon where there is no less intrusive way to process your personal data. We can assure you that if legitimate interest is used as a ground for processing your personal data, we will keep a record of this and you have the right to ask for this information.
We process your personal data to perform a contract to which you are or will be a party. For example, we need to process your personal data to deliver a product or a service you bought, to allow you to take part in one of our competitions, or to send you samples that you have requested.
We also process your personal data when we have a legal obligation (e.g., tax or social security obligations) to perform such processing. For example, a court order or a subpoena may require us to process personal data for a particular purpose, or we may be compelled to process personal data to report suspicious transactions under the local anti-money laundering rules.
Unilever uses your personal data to build profiles. We create profiles by analysing the information about your online surfing, searching and buying behaviour and your interactions with our brand communications by building segments (creating groups that have certain common characteristics) and by placing your personal data in one or more segments. These segments are used by Unilever to personalise the website and our communications to you (such as showing relevant content to you when you visit our site or in a newsletter to you), and to display relevant offers and advertisements from the Unilever brands on the Unilever sites, and via third-party websites. The segments can also be used for third-party campaigns on the Unilever sites. Unilever profiles your data where you have provided consent for us to do so; for example, accepting the setting of cookies on your browser online or signing up for email newsletters from one of our brands.
You can withdraw your consent to prevent your personal data being used this way at any time using the manage cookies section of our Cookie Notice or unsubscribing to the use of your email address if you have logged into one of our websites or signed up to any marketing newsletters.
By way of example –
In some instances, Unilever processes your personal data using automated means. An automated decision is a decision which is made solely by automatic means, where no humans are involved in the decision-making process related to your personal data. For example:
We will not make decisions based solely on automated decision making that have significant impact on you. If we do so we notify you and provide you with clear information about our decision to rely on automated processing to make our decision and our lawful basis for doing so. For example, Unilever processes your personal data using automated means only if it is necessary for the entering into or the performance of a contract with you, or when you have given your explicit consent.
You have the right not to be subject to a decision which is based solely on automated processing and which produces legal or other significant effects on you. In particular, you have the right:
As part of the Unilever Group, a global business, Hindustan Unilever Limited shares your personal data within the Unilever Group and with selected third-parties in the following circumstances:
Unilever shares personal data within the Unilever Group or with third-parties for purposes described in this Privacy Notice.
Unilever will only send personal data collected within a restricted legal framework, such as e.g. the European Economic Area (EEA) or Asian Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), to countries which do not have data protection laws that are considered to provide appropriate levels of protection in the restricted legal framework in circumstances such as:
· To follow your instructions;
· To comply with a legal duty; or
· To work with our agents and advisers who we use to help run our business and services.
If we do transfer personal data to outside of the restricted legal framework, Unilever will make sure that it is protected in the same way as if it was being used in that restricted legal framework. We’ll use one of the following safeguards:
· Transfer to another Country whose privacy legislation ensures an adequate level of protection of personal data similar or equivalent to the country it was collected in;
Unilever takes the security of your personal data very seriously. We take every effort to protect your personal data from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
Our measures include implementing appropriate access controls, investing in the latest Information Security Capabilities to protect the IT environments we leverage, and ensuring we encrypt, pseudonymise and anonymise personal data wherever possible.
Access to your personal data is only permitted among our employees and agents on a need-to-know basis and subject to strict contractual confidentiality obligations when processed by third-parties.
We will keep your personal data for as long as we need it for the purpose it is being processed for. For example, where you make a purchase online with us we will keep the data related to your purchase, so we can perform the specific contract you have entered and after that, we will keep the personal data for a period which enables us to handle or respond to any complaints, queries or concerns relating to the purchase.
Your data may also be retained so that we can continue to improve your experience with us and to ensure that you receive any loyalty rewards which are due to you.
We retain the identifiable data we collect directly for targeting purposes for as little time as possible, after which we employ measures to permanently delete it.
We will actively review the personal data we hold and delete it securely, or in some cases anonymise it, when there is no longer a legal, business or consumer need for it to be retained.

We have provided an overview of these rights below together with what this entails for you. You can exercise your rights by sending an email or submitting a request through the “Contact Us” form on our websites.
