Increase moisturisation by using a richer cream, or an oil, and make sure it contains the right ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid which will draw moisture into the skin.
Increase exfoliation frequency (unless your skin is sensitive). Dehydration & dryness are common at this time of year due to heating & cold air, so skin may get extra flaky and need some more attention.
Double cleanse thoroughly to remove traces of the more rich products you've added to your routine.
Don't neglect your lips! A much forgotten area, the lips are actually very sensitive to heat - they often flake as the cold sets in! Use a lip balm or oil daily (with SPF, too!) and add in a lip mask occasionally if you feel you need some more nourishment.
Keep using your SPF! As much as it isn't hot, and you're not going to burn at this time of year (in the UK, at least!), UVA is still very much present, meaning your skin can still be damaged by the sun, leading to premature ageing including fine lines, wrinkles and pigmentation.
