Keeping Your Winter Skin Hydrated
If you're feeling the winter skin blues, fear not, because you're not alone in this battle! Dry skin during the colder months is a common struggle we all face. But don't worry, there are ways to keep your skin hydrated and glowing even when the weather is against us. When the humidity drops and the wind picks up, our skin loses moisture at a faster rate, leaving us feeling tight and flaky. And let's not forget about those tempting hot showers and cozy heaters that can unintentionally strip away our skin's natural oils.
But hey, here's the good news: you can still protect yourself from the worst of it by following a few simple steps. So get ready to wave goodbye to dryness and say hello to happy, nourished skin all winter long!
Scrub away the dead skin cells.
When we go from heated rooms to freezing outdoors, our skin becomes dehydrated and flaky. If you have oily skin you could scrub once or twice a week, if you have dry skin you might stretch it out to every fortnight. We recommend using one of our 100% Organic Cotton Shower Puffs with our Lavender Soap, It features authentic Lavender buds for gentle skin exfoliation. Let your body unwind as you wash away the stresses of the day.
Cleanse gently.
Since winter tends to leave us dry, you don’t want to over clean your skin and make the problem worse by removing the good, natural oils and throwing out the balance. We highly recommend the Olive Castile Soap, direct from Australian olive groves across the country. Nothing more, nothing less. Teeming with natural wonders of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. No matter your skin type, it’ll nourish and rejuvenate
Hydrate... immediately.
Straight after you bathe your pores are open and your skin is supple. So, it's the perfect time to moisturise! For this reason, it’s important to be wary of what ingredients you are applying to your skin in this time frame. Our Dry Skin Cleanser Wash is a great solution for hydrating your face, made from pure Australian Avocado and macadamia plant oils. Antioxidant rich and crammed with vitamin E, Vitamin A and Omega-7. A true superfood nourishing treatment.
Drink up.
Nothing will save you from the dryness more than drinking lots of water! We know it’s a lot harder to keep up with when it’s cold than when it’s hot and you’re actually thirsty, but this will be the key factor in bright, radiant skin all year round. Also aim to eat more foods that contain "good fats", especially omega 3 fatty acids, to keep your skin cells soft and flexible!
