Winterized Skin: Keeping Your Skin Radiant, Hydrated, and Healthy All Season Long
Share
Winter can be a challenging time for your skin. The harsh cold, low humidity, and indoor heating strip away natural moisture, leaving your skin feeling dry, flaky, and irritated. At Vance Cosmetics, we believe in holistic skincare that addresses these seasonal challenges while nurturing your body, mind, and spirit. With the right products and mindful habits, your skin can thrive all winter long.
Why Winter Skin Needs Extra Care
• Dehydration: Dry air and indoor heating rob skin of moisture.
• Compromised Barrier: Cold weather weakens the skin’s protective barrier.
• Slower Cell Turnover: Dead skin cells build up faster, leading to dullness.
Holistic Winter Skincare Tips
1. Nourish from Within
• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water and herbal teas.
• Winter Superfoods: Eat foods rich in omega-3s (salmon, chia seeds) and skin-loving vitamins A, C, and E (spinach, citrus, sweet potatoes).
2. Exfoliate Gently
Exfoliation removes dead skin cells and prepares your skin to absorb moisture, but it’s essential to be gentle in winter.
• Body Care:
• Use a dry brush before your shower to boost circulation and promote lymphatic drainage.
• Follow with our Self Renewal Sugar Scrub, which combines mechanical exfoliation (from sugar crystals) with chemical exfoliation (natural glycolic acid also from sugar) for smooth, glowing skin.
• DIY Sugar Scrub Recipe:
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 1 tsp honey
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract for a cozy scent
Mix well and massage onto damp skin in circular motions. Rinse off and follow with a moisturizer.
• Facial Care:
Use a gentle exfoliator like our soon to be released Powder Cleanser for bright, fresh skin without over-drying.
3. Moisturize Heavily
Winter demands richer emollient moisturizers to replenish lost hydration and strengthen your skin’s barrier.
• Body: After exfoliation, apply our Self-Soothing Body Butter on damp skin for intense hydration and protection. This anhydrous formula boosts the skin barrier by locking in moisture and blocking moisture loss to the dry environment. Choose seasonal scents like White Birch & Vanilla or Mulled Spices & Toffee for a luxurious winter vibe while supplies last.
• Hands: Winter air can leave your hands cracked and rough. Jamelia's Hand Cream is formulated with ceramides and other luxurious ingredients normally only found in facial products to deeply hydrate and repair, leaving your hands soft, smooth, and shielded from the cold. Keep it in your bag for all-day protection.
• Face:
• For dry skin: Use our Self Esteem Honey Ceramide Facial Cream twice daily to repair the barrier and deeply moisturize.
• For oily, acne-prone skin: Use the cream at night to avoid overloading your skin during the day.
4. Switch to Gentle Cleansers
Harsh cleansers strip your skin of its natural oils. Opt for mild alternatives like our Powder Cleanser for the face and Oat & Honey Soap for the body to cleanse without compromising your skin’s hydration.
Elevate Your Self-Care Rituals
Winter skincare should be indulgent and relaxing. Light our Radiant Wonderland Candle, a warm blend of gingerbread, vanilla, cinnamon, and spices. It sets the mood for cozy self-care moments and brings a sense of calm to your routine.
