Get Your Skin Winter-Ready

Your skincare routine should change with the seasons. It’s not just our wardrobe that requires seasonal updates – our skin can also benefit from an added protective layer or two and a few swaps to help brave the cold and boost our glow.

November is the ideal time for a skincare switch-up, as it’s important to nourish the skin after fall exposure and before winter’s bitter elements kick in. Harsh weather and winds, lower humidity and central heating can all quickly deplete the skin’s moisture barrier and leave it feeling dry, dull and tight.

Simply making small adjustments can help protect the outer layer of your skin and make it more resilient. But the truth is, with the overwhelming product selection out there, along with unfiltered information, it can be a struggle to choose the best hydrating heroes and maintain a healthy, comfortable complexion.

Here’s how to adjust your routine:

• Switch to a gentler cleanser
• Increase hydration with serums and thicker moisturizers
• Exfoliate less
• Don’t skip the SPF
• Nourish with holistic skin treatments, including facials and body wraps

Our holistic Skin Nourishment line is a skin’s best friend. From soothing serums and hydrating face masks to gentle cleansers and exfoliators, our extensive all-natural line is crafted to soothe and repair skin whilst leaving it supple and soft.

Generally, the skin needs extra layers of hydration – it’s like a winter coat. So transition from lightweight lotions to richer creams and balms with replenishing ingredients, including glycerin, nourishing oils and rich emollients like shea butter, to shield it from damaging environmental stressors and ensure it’s getting the moisture and hydration it craves in the cold.

Use rich facial masks more often over the colder months to deep feed the skin and restore the moisture balance. Don’t overdo the exfoliation. Gentle exfoliating scrubs once a week will help slough off dead skin cells that make your skin look dull and parched.

Love all the skin you’re in! Slather on the hydrating body lotion to combat the dry air and best to lubricate skin immediately after bathing. Use a luscious lip balm blended with shea butter and vitamins, and protect your hands with a rich, calming hand cream, especially after washing them.

Our curated Skin Nourishment bundles offer much-needed TLC for all skin types and unique needs and make morning and nighttime rituals uncomplicated and effective. There is a targeted bundle for everyone on your holiday gift-giving list – whether it’s hydration, glow or repair.

Make your skin super happy with our healing spa treatments for added protection against winter’s wear and tear. When moisturizers just can’t seem to keep up, treat your skin to deep hydration and rejuvenating body therapies minus the use of damaging chemicals. Refresh and hydrate with a soothing facial, revitalizing foot massage or a restorative Deluxe Nourishing Body Wrap. Practice self-care with a customized Body Scrub to remove dead skin cells and increase absorption of our hydrating products or an Eucalyptus Detox Wrap to help the body get rid of toxins and improve circulation and glow.

It’s also important to remember that keeping your skin resilient against dryness means drinking enough water and maintaining a balanced diet packed with skin-friendly foods. Veggies like pumpkin and other winter squashes are seasonal superfoods jam-packed with antioxidants that are great for the skin.

And don’t skip your sunscreen. Although the sun may not be shining as much, harmful UVA rays are present all year round, rain or shine. Protect against these deep penetrating rays that really damage the skin and promote aging. Slather generously on your face, including the eye area and not just the T-zone.

Invest in a humidifier. Heating systems make indoor air so very dry and increase water loss in the skin, especially eczema-prone skin. Increase home hydration naturally with a humidifier and add some moisture-boosting plants, too.

Skincare doesn’t have to be a struggle – with a few small tweaks, you’ll have smoother, healthier skin in time for the holidays. Just feed it the extra love and care it deserves. Our nurturing treatments and holistic products are sure to get your skin ready for winter and keep your already radiant face that much more radiant!
