Organic Skincare Routine for the Winter

The colder months bring their own set of challenges when it comes to organic skincare, whether you have naturally dry, oily, or combination skin. From wind-chapped cheeks to dry lips, winter brings a whole host of additional challenges when it comes to caring for your skin. At Eclatant Botanicals, all of our products are made with organic, vegan ingredients that are nourishing for your skin all year round, but there are certain steps you can take in addition to the products you choose that can boost your winter skincare routine this season. 

Sunscreen Never Goes Out of Style 

You hear it all the time from organic skincare professionals and doctors: sunscreen is your best friend – and it never goes out of style for the season. Just because the weather is cooling down and the days are shorter, doesn’t mean the sun is any less harmful. In fact, during winter, the ozone layer becomes thinner, meaning the sun’s ultraviolet rays become more damaging. Even if you are bundled up, sunscreen is still needed! As always, it is recommended that you apply sunscreen approximately 30 minutes before going outside and reapply as needed. When doing outdoor winter sports such as skiing or sledding, it’s important to opt for a durable sunscreen that can protect against the reflection from the snow. When in doubt, apply sunscreen! 

The More Moisture the Better 

The biggest challenge for many during the colder months is dry skin. Incorporating ultra-nourishing organic skincare that features ingredients such as shea butter and apricot oil can boost your skin barrier, protecting it from the elements. The best time to add moisturizer to your face and body is right after washing them, ideally after a soak in the shower or bath. Doing so while your skin is still damp allows your body to soak up the hydration and lock in moisture. Remember – skincare does not only include your face but rather your entire body, which is why it is important to have an equally nourishing body cream to complement your face cream. 

Consider a Humidifier 

The colder months are often known to be crisp and dry, often with wind, rain, or snow. This means that your skin is getting little to no moisture from the air and relies heavily on your winter skincare routine to get the moisture it needs to remain supple and radiant. Adding a humidifier to the room you sleep in or spend most of your time in can make a world of difference when it comes to your skin’s moisture levels. Instead of falling victim to dry skin, try increasing the moisture in the air in your home to the optimal level of 40-60%, which will allow your skin to absorb moisture from the air directly rather than sucking the moisture out. When using a humidifier, it is important to regularly change the water and deep clean it at least once a week to ensure the air you breathe keeps you and your skin happy and healthy. 

Listen to Your Body 

You know your skin best, which is why your winter skincare routine should ultimately revolve around your direct needs and skin goals. Do you want to improve the elasticity of your skin?
