3 tips for beautiful skin in winter: Your guide to facing the cold with radiance

Winter can be magical with its snowy landscapes and cozy evenings, but it can also be harsh on our skin. The cold, wind and dry indoor heating air put our epidermis to the test, often leaving it dehydrated, dull or irritated. Fortunately, with a few simple steps and carefully chosen products, it’s possible to maintain soft, hydrated and radiant skin throughout the cold season. Here are our top 3 tips for taking care of your skin in winter.
 

Why your skin suffers in winter?

Before we explore the solutions, let’s understand the problem. Winter brings:

• Increased dehydration: Cold, dry air reduces the skin's ability to retain water.
• Compromised skin barrier: The cold weakens the skin's protective layer, making it more prone to redness and dryness.
• Frequent irritations: Friction with thick or synthetic clothing can aggravate skin sensitivity.

1. Hydrate with products designed for winter

To protect your skin from the harshness of the season, hydration is essential. But not just any hydration!

Our aloe vera-based body moisturizing creams are perfect for soothing and long-lasting hydration. Aloe vera, known for its soothing and moisturizing properties, works in synergy with nourishing butters such as:

• Kokum butter: Originating from India, it repairs and softens dry skin without leaving a greasy film.
• Babassu butter: This Brazilian treasure intensely nourishes the skin while restoring its suppleness and elasticity.

💡 Tip: Apply the cream immediately after your shower, while your skin is still slightly damp, to lock in the moisture.

 

2. Make exfoliation your ally

In winter, the buildup of dead skin cells can make your skin look dull and rough. Exfoliation is, therefore, an essential step to restore soft and radiant skin. However, it’s crucial to choose products that won’t irritate the skin, especially when it’s already weakened by the cold.

• Opt for a body scrub suited to your skin: Our sugar-based body scrubs provide a gentle exfoliation and are suitable for sensitive skin, while the salt-based one offers a more toning and revitalizing action. 
• Adapt your exfoliation frequency: Once or twice a week is enough to stimulate cell renewal without damaging the skin. 
• Hydrate immediately after exfoliation: Once the pores are cleansed, apply a nourishing cream or oil to seal in moisture and protect your skin.

💡 Tip: For those with sensitive skin who prefer a fragrance-free routine, the Sensitive Skin body scrub is a great alternative. However, if you want a sensory experience with a citrusy touch, the Lemongrass body scrub is the perfect choice for soft and refreshed skin.

 

3. Hydrate your skin from the inside with nourishing drinks

In winter, skin often suffers from dryness and while body care is essential, it’s just as important to nourish your skin from the inside. Proper internal hydration can make a big difference in how your skin withstands the cold.

• Consume antioxidant-rich herbal teas, such as green tea, rooibos or chamomile. These infusions provide powerful skin benefits by neutralizing free radicals, responsible for premature aging. 
• Incorporate aloe vera juice into your routine: Known for its soothing and hydrating properties, it helps maintain good hydration and can even support skin elasticity. 
• Add a touch of lemon or ginger to your drinks: These ingredients boost circulation and provide essential vitamins (such as Vitamin C), which stimulate collagen production and strengthen the skin’s barrier.

💡 Tip: If you’re looking for a comforting drink that’s also good for your skin, try a ginger, lemon and honey infusion. It will warm you up while providing essential nutrients.
