When the air turns cold and dry, our skin feels it. With chilly weather outside and warm air indoors, skin often becomes dry, irritated and loses its suppleness. Winter skin care therefore asks for a special approach and for products that protect, hydrate and nourish. In this article we will share with you how to do it with natural cosmetics.
What does skin need in winter?

In the cold season skin needs special care that brings together hydration, nourishment and protection from the outside world. While in summer we reach mainly for lighter products, in winter it is lovelier to choose richer creams and nourishing oils that keep dryness away.
1. Natural oils for protection from dry air and frost
Natural oils are a wonderful choice for protecting the skin from the cold. They contain antioxidants and fatty acids that help create a protective barrier. Among the most loved are argan oil, rosehip oil and avocado oil. These oils can be used on their own, or you can add them to your favourite cream.
2. Hydrating serums with hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid is an ideal answer for winter hydration. When hydrating products are layered well, hyaluronic acid can hold water in the skin and keep it from drying out. It is lovely to apply a hydrating serum under a nourishing cream, which then seals the moisture into the skin.
3. Nourishing creams and balms for the face
In winter the skin needs extra nourishment, and richer creams with natural ingredients give it just that. Creams with shea butter, cocoa butter or jojoba oil are wonderful for protecting and nourishing the skin. These ingredients create a protective layer and help keep the skin hydrated and soft.
4. Natural care for lips and hands
Lips and hands are especially sensitive to cold and dry air in winter. For the lips, natural balms with beeswax, honey or oils are ideal, as they protect and restore them. For the hands we recommend rich creams with natural oils, which keep dryness and chapping away.
5. How to use natural face masks for extra nourishment and hydration
In winter, using nourishing masks regularly is a lovely addition to your care. Try home-made masks with honey, oats and coconut oil, which give intense hydration and calm irritated skin.
6. Protecting the skin from UV rays in winter too
Even in the winter months UV rays can be strong, especially when you spend time in the snow. That is why it is good not to neglect protection from the sun and to use natural SPF creams, which protect the skin from the harmful effects of sunlight.
