Let's face it: winter is the worst on your skin. Dry indoor heat, combined with cold and windy conditions, spells trouble for everyone. Add a lack of sunlight and the junk food you binge eat during gloomy days; your skin is in for a rough time! Keeping your complexion looking bright during the cold months means balancing out your moisturizers and exfoliants so that your skin stays soft and hydrated. Honey is a perfect ingredient to toss into your winter skincare routine, and our honey body products make it so simple to treat yourself all winter long.
Starting with the Basics
Dry heat and cold air are the most threatening evils your skin will have to combat during the winter; sometimes, even right out of the shower, it feels like the moisture is being sucked out of your body. Combat this first by exfoliating with a gentle Honey Body Scrub while in the shower. Exfoliating buffs away dead and dry skin cells, making it easier for moisturizers to soak into the skin.
Next, while your skin is still damp, apply a generous amount of your favorite Honey Body Butter. A water-based formula like Strength will add more hydration to your skin while soothing dryness and dullness with a blend of plant butter and essential oils. Another wintertime favorite is Haute Cocoa, a rich body butter that smells like gooey brownies. Yum!
For the Face
Your face can take the brunt of winter's wrath: it's often not covered the way your body is, and the skin is much thinner and more delicate than the rest. First, cleanse with a mild, gentle wash or soap to lock hydration into your skin and soothe dryness. Face Bar Soap was designed to purify the skin without stripping away essential oils, and moisture like harsher bars and scrubs do.
After cleansing, apply a few drops of our Bee Inspired Facial Oil to retain moisture all day long. If you prefer, mix our Facial Oil into your favorite moisturizer for an added pop of hydration.
Using a Mask once or twice a week will also help to gently exfoliate and nourish the skin. Haute Cocoa Mask is a perfect treat your skin will love in the winter months. Made with nourishing cocoa and blueberry extracts, this mask delivers antioxidants and vitamins to your skin to increase its resilience to dry cold weather.
Don't Forget your Lips!
Cold weather also beats your lips, and nobody likes cracked, chapped lips! Fix your lips in a minute flat with our Bee Inspired Lip Kit: the Lip Scrub+Gloss Duo combine to gently buff and deeply moisturize for softer, smoother lips instantly.
Our Honey Lip Balms are just for you if you want a portable, easy-to-apply treatment that's perfect for everyday use. Available in nine tints plus clear, these balms are free from petroleum ingredients and artificial flavors that leave your lips feeling goopy and icky.
