Winter Skincare Survival Kit ❄️

Let’s call it the ❄️ Dry Skin Survival Kit!


If your skin is drier because of colder temps and indoor heating, think about adding some of these to your routine:


🪮Dry Skin Brush

This is a natural bristle brush you can use before showering to gently exfoliate, slough off dead skin cells, and stimulate lymphatic flow.


🧽 Loofah

Using a loofah with soap and water in the shower is another way to gently exfoliate the skin. Careful not to overdo it because too much exfoliation can irritate the skin.


💧Humidifier

This can help with dry bedroom air.


🧴 Body Moisturizer

Look for a moisturizer that is free from parabens and fragrances.


🫧 Face Oil

Oils are what naturally moisturize our skin.


💋Lip Balm

Try a natural lip balm made with beeswax, shea butter, or coconut butter.


🥤Water Bottle

Staying hydrated is just as important for the skin in the winter as it is in the summer!


One last thing:


Eating nourishing foods with healthy fats and antioxidants can also help to keep your skin more naturally moisturized and protected from the elements.

Inside-Out Skin Tips

The main driver of unhealthy skin is 💥inflammation💥 which means a sustainable solution has to address this root cause.

We do that from the inside out, with things like:

✔️ Omega-3 Fats (essential fatty acids in fish, nuts, & seeds)

✔️ Sleep (disrupted sleep increases markers of inflammation)

✔️ Movement (exercise improves metabolic health to reduce inflammation)

✔️ Water (skin is approximately 64% water)

✔️ Colorful foods (antioxidants help to combat inflammation)

✔️ Probiotics (supporting the microbiome and gut-skin axis)

These are just a few examples of how we help our clients combat breakouts, redness, rashes, and irritated skin. The best solution for your skin will be unique to you, and we would love to help.
