❄️ Keep Your Glow: Beating Winter Dry Skin Naturally

As the temperatures drop and the air gets crisp, our skin often pays the price. 🥶 The same chilly weather that makes hot cocoa and cozy sweaters so inviting can also leave your skin feeling tight, itchy, and dry. But don’t worry — with the right care (and the right butter 😉), you can keep your skin smooth, hydrated, and glowing all winter long. ✨

🌬️ Why Winter Dries Out Your Skin

Cold air outside and dry indoor heat inside both strip your skin of moisture. Low humidity means there’s less water in the air to help keep your skin hydrated. Combine that with hot showers and harsh soaps, and your skin’s natural barrier starts to break down — leaving it dull, flaky, or irritated. 😣

🧴 Your Winter Skincare Survival Tips

1. Switch to a Richer Moisturizer 🧈

Light lotions are great in summer, but winter calls for something thicker and more nourishing — like whipped body butters. Butters made with shea, mango, or kokum butter (like Shelly’s Butta) create a protective layer that seals in moisture and keeps your skin buttery soft. 💛

2. Moisturize While Skin is Damp 💧

Timing is everything! Apply your moisturizer right after a shower or bath while your skin is still slightly damp — it helps lock in all that hydration.

3. Avoid Long, Hot Showers 🚿

We know… a steamy shower feels heavenly on a cold day, but too much heat can strip your skin’s natural oils. Try warm (not hot) water and keep your showers around 10 minutes.

4. Exfoliate Gently 🧂

Dry, flaky skin needs a little extra care. Use a gentle sugar or salt scrub (like one from our BotaniGlow Collection) once or twice a week to slough away dead skin and reveal that glow underneath. ✨

5. Protect Your Lips and Hands 💋✋

These areas lose moisture fastest! Keep a nourishing balm or butter nearby and reapply throughout the day — especially after washing your hands.

6. Stay Hydrated from the Inside Out 🥗💧

Healthy skin starts within. Drink plenty of water and eat foods rich in omega-3s (like avocados, nuts, and salmon) to keep your skin radiant and resilient.
