Team-Approved Winter Skincare Secrets for a Cold Weather Glow
Winter might be magical with its frosty mornings and cosy evenings, but it’s a tough time for our skin. Cold weather, biting winds, and central heating can strip away precious moisture, leaving your skin feeling dry, and tight, and needing some serious TLC.

Whether you're snuggled up indoors or braving the elements, these products will ensure your skin stays nourished, hydrated, and glowing all season long. And the best part? Our team loves them just as much as our customers!

Winter Skincare Tips to Keep Your Skin Happy
While a stellar lineup of skincare products can work wonders, your skin needs a little help on the inside too! Here are some top tips to keep your skin glowing and resilient all winter long:
1. Stay Hydrated
Yes, it’s chilly, and you’d probably rather sip on a hot chocolate than a plain ol' glass of water. But trust us - hydration is key to keeping your skin plump and healthy. Water helps transport nutrients to your skin cells and flushes out toxins. Struggle to get enough? Herbal teas or adding a slice of lemon or cucumber to your water can make it more appealing.
2. Nourish from Within
Comfort food is great, but don’t forget your veggies! A diet rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and healthy fats can do wonders for your skin. Think leafy greens, avocados, sweet potatoes, and berries - they're all packed with skin-loving nutrients like vitamins A, C, and E, which boost hydration and repair.
3. Be Gentle to Your Skin
Winter isn’t the time to scrub or overload your skin with harsh chemicals. Stick to gentle, natural products like those we offer, and avoid anything that strips your skin of its natural oils. Opt for mild cleansers and nourishing creams - your skin will thank you.
4. Support Your Skin with Supplements
Sometimes, your diet alone might not be enough - here’s where supplements come in to lend a helping hand. Some of our favourites for winter are:
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids – Found in fish oil or flaxseed supplements, omega-3s help keep your skin hydrated and reduce inflammation.
- Vitamin D – With less sunlight in the winter, topping up with a vitamin D supplement does wonders for your skin and your mood.
- Collagen – This popular supplement boosts elasticity and strengthens your skin from within, giving you a smoother, more radiant complexion.
5. Cut Back on Alcohol
Alcohol can dehydrate your skin and leave it looking dull. If you’re reaching for alcoholic drinks, try to balance it out with lots of water and moisturising skincare. Or even better, go for a non-alcoholic option - your skin will thank you.
6. Remember Humidity at Home
Central heating might keep you warm, but it dries out your skin like nobody’s business. Using a humidifier at home can offset this and keep the air (and your skin) nice and hydrated.
Combine these tips with your winter skincare routine for next-level protection against the elements. With a little love and care, you’ll breeze through the season with skin that glows as brightly as a crackling fireplace. Stay cosy (and hydrated)!
