Combat Winter Dry Skin with Make Me Dewy for Enhanced Pole Dancing Grip
As temperatures drop and indoor heating increases, many pole dancers notice a change in their skin. Winter can leave skin feeling dry, tight and flaky, making it more difficult to maintain reliable grip during training.
While many dancers associate grip issues with sweat, excessively dry skin can be just as challenging. When the skin lacks moisture, it often struggles to create the contact needed for secure holds, climbs and transitions.
Fortunately, adjusting your grip routine for the colder months can help maintain both skin health and pole performance.
Why Winter Can Affect Pole Grip
During winter, humidity levels decrease and cold outdoor temperatures combined with indoor heating can strip moisture from the skin.
For pole dancers, this can lead to:
-
Dry or flaky skin
-
Reduced contact with the pole
-
Inconsistent grip during tricks and transitions
-
Increased skin irritation and discomfort
Many dancers find that products which work well during summer become less effective once winter arrives. Understanding how seasonal changes affect your skin can help you choose the right grip solution.
If you're unsure whether your grip challenges are caused by sweat or dry skin, our guide to pole grip products and how they improve performance explains the different types of grip aids available.
The Ideal Winter Grip Solution: Make Me Dewy
Make Me Dewy was developed specifically for pole dancers who need additional moisture while maintaining reliable grip.
Unlike products designed primarily to reduce sweat, Make Me Dewy helps support skin hydration while creating the tackiness needed for confident pole training.
Formula L
Formula L is a water-based formula containing glycerine, making it ideal for normal to extremely dry skin.
Benefits include:
Formula X
Formula X is a faster-drying formula that still provides moisture support while incorporating tacky ingredients to enhance grip.
It performs particularly well on:
-
Chrome poles

Stainless steel poles
