What Winter skin craves

What Winter skin craves

The arrival of Winter has many of us craving warm, rich and nutrient rich foods - a little bit of extra TLC.

Our bodies want that little bit of extra TLC…

And this goes for our skin too - as the temperature drops, so do your skin's hydration levels. The skin starts to feel dry and tight; we lose that healthy glow and crave the comforting touch of rich, nourishing creams. Nurturing your skin during winter will ensure you protect it against redness and flaking.

To help keep your skin glowing, nourished and comfortable, let us introduce you to a few of our favourite nutrient dense products.

Green Juice Skin Rescue Balm

Green Juice is the perfect multi-tasking, rescue and recovery balm, suitable for any skin type.

Winter is synonymous with wind-blown cheeks, red noses and chapped lips. Like an actual green juice drink, this oil balm is packed with nutrients and conditioning ingredients to help protect and rebuild the skin’s barrier function. This also means that Green Juice can help soothe the symptoms of dermatitis and eczema, which can also flare up during winter with the change of weather.

It’s like a hug in a tub and can be used as a night cream or anywhere on the body that requires extra moisture.

For an extra hydration hit on your face, layer this over your Superfood Face Oil at night for extra nourishment.

Smudge Budge Calming Cleansing Balm

We often mention our preference to stay away from foaming cleansers, and this is especially important in Winter. These types of cleansers will strip away any protective oils you have on your skin.
Instead, cleanse with the lipid rich carrot and tomato oils found in Smudge Budge. These skin smoothing plant butters melt onto the skin to dissolve make-up and impurities while skin-loving oils infuse deeply into the skin to reinforce the skin's own barrier against the harsh Winter environment.

Flower Nectar Ultra-Rich Face Cream

Flower Nectar is a super decadent and thick protective cream that is deliciously rich and nourishes the driest skin. Pink fruits such as watermelon, pomegranate and rosehip work with plant butters to shield the skin from drying winds and air conditioning.

It also contains Fucogel, an all-natural and potent hydrating ingredient that will restore water in the skin to give back it’s bounce and keep it looking plump and smooth.

Super Fruit Ultra-Rich Body Cream

While you might love a hot shower or bath in Winter, your skin doesn't.

You may start to notice the skin on your back or legs becoming itchy and dry. While water might be the original hydrator, hot water can have a drying effect on your skin as it washes away the natural protective oils.
Super Fruit is a rich mix of shea butter enriched goodness that will help combat any dryness, without a greasy feeling. Beautiful Australian plant oils from wattle, desert jasmine, zest myrtle and lemon ironbark keep the skin feeling fresh.

Massage this soft turmeric infused yellow cream onto all areas of the body that need soothing and allow to absorb.

Perfect Paws Hand Therapy Cream

Your hands are another part of your body that can be left quite exposed to the Winter elements. Throw into that mix some extra hand washing and hand sanitising - hello cold and flu season - and you may notice your hard-working hands start feeling a little dry and sensitive.

Perfect Paws is our hand therapy cream that is rich in essential fatty acids to help nourish and sooth dry, cracked skin. It’s also fast-absorbing cream so you can quench thirsty skin with a fresh burst of intense moisture without a greasy feeling.

Winter might be synonymous with cold winds, layers of clothing and retreating to the warmth– but you don’t need to add uncomfortable, dry and tight skin to that list. Just as many of us crave eating rich hearty foods, our skin craves a little extra nourishment throughout these months too.

Looking for a sweet indulgent treat this winter? Our Vanilla + Honey Moisture Mask not only smells delicious, it’s also a perfect overnight treatment mask to infuse some extra hydration into your skin.
