Winter Skincare Guide
Layering skincare
If you think about how you would dress for a cold winter’s day this is a good place to start with your skin. You would naturally add another layer or add a thicker jumper, layering up is the easiest way to give the skin extra comfort, support, and hydration. Layering is the best option if you know that putting on a rich cream is not an option as it will cause breakouts. We recommend layering our exceptionally nourishing Beauty Oil with our restorative Face Cream and Balm on any area that needs extra care.
Moisture top-ups
We are spending more time indoors this winter and you probably experience that feeling of mid-day or mid-afternoon dehydration. Facial oils are skin saviours, particularly in the winter, pop a few drops of a plant oil into your foundation, a few drops over your moisture in the day or even in the morning pop a few drops into your moisturiser. Our Beauty Oil is packed with natural plant oils, vitamins, and antioxidants, and we recommend the best time to use it is at night so the skin can fully take advantage of all these powerful ingredients. Your skin will thank you for adding a few drops of facial oil in the day, the natural plant oils will bring instant softness, and lavender will reduce any redness that is cropping up throughout the day as the skin becomes drier.
Skin barriers
If the skin barrier has become compromised you may be experience flakiness, sensitivity, and the skin can feel itchy and appear red and a wee bit angry. The skin barrier is made up of dead skin cells, when the skin barrier becomes compromised it is the lipids, that are crucial for skin health, that have deteriorated. Our Lavender Balm is packed full of skin-strengthening ingredients which form a good basis for stronger more resilient skin. Avocado, rosehip, and sunflower are all rich in omegas that bring instant comfort, smoothing and sealing the skin barrier. Often referred to as a little pot of magic this needs to be in easy reach to be applied as and when the skin needs strengthening and comforting and is also perfect on the lips if you have noticed dryness, soreness, and your experiencing chapped cracked lips.
Level up your Body moisturiser
In the summer months, you may like lightweight serums and moisturisers but you may find they are not enough in the winter months. Choosing a richer texture will bring immediately extra comfort and moisture to the skin, we recommend slathering on one of our rich butters to give your body an extra treat.
The power of baths
Running yourself a bath, unwinding from the day, or reviving your mind is essential, baths have an incredible ability to relax and de-stress the mind and body. Choose one of our all-natural jars of Bath Salts to accompany you at bathtime and you’ll feel totally relaxed.
Multi-ingredients = multi-purpose
When layering up (everywhere) look for a bath and body oil that combines humectants to ensure the skin gets the hydration, and emollients that help seal in the hydration, soften and smooth the skin. Our Bath & Body Oil has the perfect balance between humectants and emollients boosted with the healing properties of lavender to ensure the collagen production is still stimulated even when the skin is becoming drier.
