As the air turns cold and central heating rises, our skin often feels the shift before we do. Winter can be a challenging time for the skin’s natural barrier, causing dryness, dullness and tightness. But with a few intentional adjustments, your skincare ritual can sooth your irritated winter skin.
Here’s how to keep your skin balanced, soft, and luminous through the colder months.

Start with a gentle, barrier-respecting cleanse

Winter skin needs moisture and care. Swap foaming or harsh cleansers for a gentle, hydrating formula that removes impurities without stripping the skin of its natural oils. Look for cream or oil-based formulas that cleanse while leaving the skin supple and calm.

With Cleansing Silk you get a cleanser that removes makeup and impurities, without stripping your skin of their natural oils, making it a perfect winter addition to your skincare routine.

Add an essence for layered hydration

Cold air holds less moisture and during winter, so does your skin. A water-light treatment essence helps attract and retain hydration, prepping the skin for everything that follows. After cleansing the skin, use a treatment essence like a toner by gently pressing it into the skin with your palms. This small step makes a noticeable difference in how your skin absorbs the next layers of your routine.

Embrace facial oils

Facial oils are your skin’s best friend during wintertime. Rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants, they nourish, soothe, and help lock in moisture. Massage a few drops into damp skin to seal hydration and restore a soft, luminous finish. This step is especially helpful in areas prone to dryness and sensitivity.

Layer a balm or cream

Think of this as the final blanket. A balm or deeply comforting cream adds long-lasting protection against environmental stressors like wind, cold, and indoor heat. Use it as the last step in your evening routine or as needed during the day when skin feels fragile or reactive.

Give your skin the protection and moisture it needs during winter with kukui- and jojoba oil, that deeply moisturize the skin and protect it from the cold, while addressing redness, dryness, and irritation in the skin with evening primrose oil. The Calming Blue Balm will lock in the moisture added throughout the routine and keep your skin safe from environmental damage.

Don’t skip SPF

Even in winter, UV rays are present. Finish your morning routine with a mineral SPF to protect the skin’s tone, texture, and long-term health.
