Natural Skincare Remedies For Dry Winter Skin

A natural skin care routine can minimize the aggravation of dry skin, which can be caused by heat, hot showers, harsh soaps, and erratic climate conditions.

Your skin naturally produces oil, called sebum, which helps protect the skin from moisture loss, but everyday actions — such as forgetting to put on moisturizer or washing your hands with a drying soap can add to the existing conditions.

Thankfully, there are natural skincare remedies that can help alleviate dry winter skin.

exfoliating masks 

The amazing fruit enzyme exfoliating mask is a powerful, all natural exfoliating and detoxifying mask that gently removes impurities and rejuvenates skin. It's gentle enough to use on all skin types.

This clear gel mask base is packed with all the good stuff like enzyme-rich papaya fruit, papaya leaf extract, pineapple extracts, and organic aloe to pump up the skin’s moisture, leaving it feeling refreshed.

soothing blends

To immediately soothe your dry skin, look no further than snow mushroom liquid extract or ultra7 hyaluronic acid blend.

Snow mushroom liquid extract is a lovely extract that can hold 400% more moisture than sodium hyaluronate to help hydrate dry skin. Also it contains betaine which binds moisture and was found to be less irritating to skin than water!  

Ultra7 hyaluronic acid blend is the ultimate game changer! This amazing moisturizing and hydrating addition promises to be your new best friend.

This innovative blend resulted in 100% of participants claiming they immediately felt their skin was more moisturized and softer after a single application. We have no shame in that claim, sign us up!

winter skincare tips

It's often a good idea to keep it simple when modifying your skin care for the winter. Pure oils have a natural base, making them great dry-skin remedies.

Skip skin care products with harsh chemicals that can irritate dry skin. Avoid harsh bar soaps, rough towels, and don’t forget to apply moisturizer to your hands after washing!

Try to avoid water that is scalding hot in the bath or shower as that can also exacerbate dry skin conditions. Apply moisturizer or body oil soon after bathing and your skin will soak it up.

And it’s not a myth: you still need sunscreen in winter!
