While we adore the festive season, cosy jumpers, and hot chocolate, the winter months can be tough on our skin. It often feels like overnight our once-glowy complexion becomes dull, dry, and irritated.

Why? There’s less moisture in the air, harsh winds strip the skin barrier, and indoor heating zaps hydration from the air — and your skin. These seasonal shifts pull moisture from your skin and reduce its natural ability to retain protective oils.

But winter doesn’t have to mean flaky, unhappy skin. Try these 7 winter skin hacks to help your skin stay soft, nourished, and glowing all season long.

1. Avoid Taking Hot Showers

It’s tempting to turn up the heat, but hot water strips your skin’s natural oils, leaving it vulnerable to dryness and cracking.
👉 Stick to warm (not hot) showers and baths to help preserve hydration.

2. Moisturise When Your Skin Is Still Damp

Right after your shower or face wash (while your skin is still slightly damp) is the best time to apply moisturiser or body cream.
This helps to seal in moisture before it evaporates.

💧 Top pick: Hydrating Rose Mist – packed with Hyaluronic Acid, it delivers a hydration boost morning and night.

3. Skin Needs Both Oil and Water

Dry skin = lacks oil
Dehydrated skin = lacks water

A healthy winter routine needs both.
Morning: Recovery Face Cream (lightweight yet deeply hydrating)
Evening:

  • Nourish Urself Balm (for dry, sensitive skin)
  • Restorative Beauty Oil (for normal to oily/combination skin)

4. Moisturise and Protect Your Lips

Your lips don’t have oil glands and have fewer skin layers — so they dry out faster than the rest of your face.

Apply a hydrating balm throughout the day and especially before bed.

5. Drink More Water

In colder months, we tend to drink less — but your skin still needs hydration!

Aim for at least 2L a day, and try sipping warm water with lemon for a comforting, detoxifying boost.

6. Check Your Skincare's Ingredients

Now’s the time to upgrade your moisturiser to one with ultra-nourishing ingredients.

🧴 Recovery Face Cream is packed with:

  • Organic Chamomile Water (not just plain water!)
  • Hyaluronic Acid for hydration
  • Baobab & Shea Butter for nourishment
  • Jojoba Oil to strengthen the skin barrier

These ingredients help lock in moisture, reduce irritation, and restore glow.

7. Don't Skimp on Hand Care

Cold weather and frequent handwashing = dry, cracked hands.

💡 Beth’s tip:
Keep hand cream in your bag, desk drawer, and by your bed for easy reapplication. Use cuticle oil once a day to keep nails strong and supple.
