Conquer Winter Woes: 3 Shifts for Glowing Skin All Season Long

The temperature drops, the wind picks up, and suddenly your skin feels like a cracked desert landscape.  Don't worry, it's a common winter struggle! As an esthetician, I see countless clients whose skin suffers when the humidity plummets.  But fear not!  With a few key shifts in your routine, you can keep your skin hydrated, healthy, and glowing all winter long.

Shift 1: Ditch Harsh Cleansers, Embrace Gentle Hydration

Daily cleansing is essential, but harsh soaps can strip away natural oils, leaving your skin feeling tight and dry.  Opt for a gentle cleanser formulated for dry skin, like our Sensitive Skin Cleansing Oil.  This 2-in-1 cleanser and makeup remover combines nourishing plant and olive oils to remove dirt and makeup without sacrificing moisture.  For extra hydration, consider Moisture Positive Cleanser, a creamy cleanser packed with essential oils that balances the skin.  And remember, always use lukewarm water to cleanse!

Shift 2: Level Up Your Moisturizer

Summer's lightweight lotion just won't cut it in winter.  Switch to a richer, more emollient moisturizer like Crucial Moisturizer.  This powerhouse cream hydrates and strengthens your skin barrier with dimethicone and adaptogenic herbs.  For extremely dry skin, Really Rich Moisture is your BFF.  This luxurious formula is packed with olive, safflower, avocado, and jojoba oils to quench your skin's thirst and banish flakiness.  Say hello to soft, supple skin!

Shift 3: Pamper with a Hydrating Mask

Give your skin an extra dose of TLC with a hydrating mask a few times a week.  Collagen Rehab leaves your skin dewy and refreshed, and even works wonders on dry, chapped lips!  Hydroplunge is another great option – this lightweight mask uses hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate and boost your skin's ability to retain moisture.

Winter doesn't have to be a skin nightmare!  By making these simple shifts in your routine, you can keep your skin healthy and radiant all season long.  Shop our selection of winter-friendly cleansers, moisturizers, and masks to find your perfect match, and say goodbye to dry, winter blues!
