3 Steps to Smoother, Softer Skin This Winter

Winter can be magical—cozy sweaters, hot drinks, and maybe even some snowflakes. But let’s be honest: it’s not always kind to our skin! Between the dry, chilly air outside and the moisture-sapping heat inside, our skin often feels tight, flaky, and less-than-glowy. If this sounds familiar, don’t worry! With just three simple steps, you can rescue your skin and keep it smooth, soft, and hydrated all season long.

Let’s dive into our foolproof winter skincare routine, featuring some of our favorite products that will make your skin love you back!

Step 1: Exfoliate to Remove Dead, Dry Skin

You know that dull, flaky skin you notice during winter? That’s often a buildup of dead skin cells that need a little extra encouragement to say goodbye. The solution? Gentle exfoliation. Not only does exfoliating remove those dead cells, but it also helps your skin better absorb all the moisturizing goodness you’re about to slather on.

Our Bamboo Face Polish is a winter must-have. This gentle exfoliator is formulated with bamboo stem extract, sugar, and kaolin clay to slough off dead skin without irritation. Unlike harsh scrubs, it’s kind to your skin while leaving it smooth and ready to soak up your moisturizer. Plus, it’s packed with natural goodness that will have your skin glowing in no time.

How to Use Bamboo Face Polish:

• After cleansing, take a small amount of the polish and gently massage it onto damp skin.
• Focus on areas prone to dryness, like around your nose and cheeks.
• Rinse with warm water and pat dry.

Pro Tip: Use the Bamboo Face Polish 1-2 times a week to keep your skin refreshed without overdoing it.

Step 2: Moisturize Like There’s No Tomorrow

Winter skin needs moisture—and lots of it! This isn’t the time to skimp on hydration. A rich, nourishing moisturizer is your best friend when it comes to combating dryness and maintaining that smooth, soft texture.

For your face, we’ve got a couple of options depending on your skin type:

• Face Cream: Our lightweight yet deeply hydrating Face Cream is perfect for everyday use. Packed with green tea extract and apricot oil, it keeps your skin moisturized all day long without feeling greasy. It’s ideal for locking in hydration and protecting your skin from winter’s harsh elements.
• Barrier Defense Serum: If you’re looking for an oil-free option, this serum is a game-changer. Formulated with hyaluronic acid and ceramides, it not only hydrates but also strengthens your skin’s barrier to prevent moisture loss.

Extra Tip for Extra Dry Skin: If your skin feels particularly parched, top off your routine with our Pomegranate Facial Serum. This 100% pure pomegranate oil is rich in antioxidants and fatty acids, giving your skin the ultimate hydration boost.

How to Use:

• Apply your moisturizer or serum to slightly damp skin to lock in even more moisture.
• For extra hydration, layer the Pomegranate Facial Serum on top of your moisturizer, focusing on areas that feel extra dry.

And let’s not forget about the rest of your body! Winter’s dry air doesn’t stop at your face, so give your arms, legs, and everything in between some love with our Body Butter. Made with kokum, shea, and cocoa butter, it’s a lifesaver for dry, cracked skin. Use it after showering to seal in moisture and keep your skin soft all day.

Step 3: Don’t Skip Your Weekly Reset

Winter can make our skin feel sluggish, so incorporating a weekly reset into your routine can do wonders. A nourishing mask or deep hydration treatment can help restore your skin’s glow and provide a much-needed pick-me-up.

Try this simple winter self-care session:

• Start with the Bamboo Face Polish to exfoliate.
• Follow with a hydrating clay mask, like our Caramel Clay Mask, to tone and rehydrate.
• Finish with your favorite moisturizer or serum to lock everything in.

This weekly ritual not only keeps your skin in check but also gives you a moment to relax and recharge.
