As the seasons change, so does your skin’s behavior. The crisp winter air, lower humidity, and indoor heating can leave your skin dry, dull, and unbalanced. If you’ve noticed tightness, flakiness, or a loss of glow lately, your skin is simply adjusting to the shift.
This is the perfect time to nourish, protect, and replenish.
Here’s how to help your skin transition smoothly into winter naturally. 🌿
1. Strengthen & Protect Your Skin Barrier
Your skin barrier needs extra care in winter. Support it with nourishing ingredients like:
-
Vitamin E
-
Shea butter
-
Jojoba oil
-
Turmeric
-
Rosehip oil
These help keep your skin calm, resilient, and moisturized.
2. Switch to a Gentle Cleanser
Winter air is cold, dry, and unforgiving and harsh cleansers only make dryness worse. Swap stripping cleansers for something soothing, and moisture-protecting.
Try this: Soaps That Heal Turmeric Foaming Facial Cleanser is still gentle enough for winter. It’s plant-based and enriched with turmeric a natural brightener and anti-inflammatory that calms, comforts, and cleanses without removing essential oils.
3. Use a Deeply Hydrating, pH-Balancing Toner
Cold winds and indoor heating create major moisture loss. A hydrating toner restores balance, boosts absorption, and prepares your skin for rich winter moisture.
Winter pick: Soaps That Heal Turmeric Skin Brightening Face Toner is infused with natural botanicals to soothe tight, dry skin, refine texture, and strengthen your skin barrier during harsh cold weather.
4. Level Up to a Rich, Protective Moisturizer
Humidity is basically zero in winter, meaning your skin loses water faster than in any other season. Even oily or combination skin needs deeper nourishment now.
✨ Winter essential: OilBlends Avocado & Olive Oil Daily Body Moisturizer and Uncle Benney's Vitamin E Face Crème delivers deep hydration with antioxidants and plant oils that protect against dryness, cracking, and winter dullness.
🌙 Nighttime boost: Layer on Uncle Benney's Turmeric Natural Lightening Butter to lock in moisture, replenish hydration, and repair overnight.
5. Exfoliate - But Very Gently
Winter skin becomes flaky quickly. Exfoliate once a week (twice max) to remove buildup and help your moisturizers work better. Choose gentle scrubs or enzyme-based exfoliators to avoid irritation.
Always follow with a rich moisturizer or facial oil.
6. Apply Moisturizer on Damp Skin
This winter trick helps lock in hydration before it evaporates. Apply your moisturizer immediately after cleansing or toning while your skin is still slightly damp for longer-lasting softness and glow.
7. Never Skip Sunscreen (Even in Winter!)
UV rays bounce off snow, making winter sun sneakily strong. This leads to dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and premature aging, especially if you're using natural brightening ingredients like turmeric.
Wear broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every day, even when it’s freezing or cloudy.
8. Use a Humidifier Indoors
Indoor heating systems pull moisture from your skin. Using a humidifier helps keep the air comfortably hydrated, reducing winter flakiness, tightness, and irritation.
9. Care for Hands, Lips & Body
Cold weather affects everything, not just your face. Keep your whole body protected by:
- Applying a rich hand cream after every wash
- Gently exfoliating and moisturizing your lips weekly
- Using plant-based body butters or oils right after your shower to seal in moisture and prevent winter dryness
10. Nourish Your Skin From the Inside
Winter foods like sweet potatoes, avocados, nuts, berries, pumpkin seed oil and leafy greens support skin health with zinc, vitamins A, C, and E.
Drink warm herbal teas, infused water, or warm lemon water, and prioritize sleep to help the skin repair overnight.
The Winter Takeaway
Winter demands deeper hydration, richer moisture, and gentler care. Focus on protection, nourishment, and barrier support, inside and out to keep your skin soft, glowing, and resilient all winter long.
