Winter skincare is becoming more important than ever. 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, including body lotion, are among the best skincare products for winter.
Have you ever heard of dry brushing?
Understanding Winter Skin
Winter skin is a common phenomenon that affects many people during the colder months. Characterized by dryness, flakiness, and sensitivity, winter skin can be both uncomfortable and unsightly. The combination of dry indoor heat and cold, windy outdoor conditions strips the skin of its natural moisture, leading to a compromised skin barrier. This makes it harder for the skin to retain hydration, resulting in the dreaded winter skin woes. Understanding these causes is essential to developing an effective winter skincare routine that keeps your skin healthy and glowing all season long.
Preparing Your Skin for Winter
Preparing your skin for winter is essential to preventing dryness, flakiness, and sensitivity. Here are some tips to help you prepare your skin for the colder months:
- Hydrate Inside and Out: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from within. Use a moisturizer with hyaluronic acid to attract and retain moisture in the skin.
- Switch to Gentle Cleansers: Harsh soaps can strip your skin of its natural oils. Opt for gentle, hydrating cleansers that maintain your skin’s natural barrier.
- Exfoliate Regularly: Use a gentle exfoliant, like a honey body scrub, to remove dead skin cells and allow moisturizers to penetrate more effectively. Salicylic acid can be particularly helpful for this.
- Layer Your Moisturizers: Start with a hydrating serum, followed by a rich moisturizer containing shea butter or jojoba oil. This helps to lock in moisture and protect your skin from the cold winter weather.
- Protect Your Skin Barrier: Use products that strengthen your skin barrier, such as those containing ceramides and natural oils. This helps to prevent moisture loss and keep your skin resilient.
- Don’t Forget Your Lips: Use a nourishing lip balm to prevent dry lips. Look for ingredients like honey and shea butter to keep your lips soft and hydrated.
By following these tips and incorporating the right products into your winter skincare routine, you can keep your skin healthy, hydrated, and glowing all winter long.

Scrub Away Dead Skin Cells
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. Characterized by dryness, flaky skin, and sensitivity, winter skin can be both uncomfortable and unsightly. 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.
Keep Your Skin Hydrated
Next, while your skin is still damp, apply a generous amount of your favorite Honey Body Butter to hydrate skin and lock in moisture. For seriously dry skin, our Winter Body Mousse melts into a luxurious oil, providing deep, effective nourishment that helps maintain your skin's natural barrier and leaves skin feeling silky-smooth. Another wintertime favorite is Haute Cocoa, a rich body butter that smells like gooey brownies. Yum! With scents similar to our body scrubs, you are able to mix and match, or save money with our scrub and butter duos.

Face the Cold Winter Weather
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. Our Oatmeal + Lavender Bar Soap was designed to purify the skin without stripping away essential oils, and moisture like harsher bars and scrubs do - making it perfect for the driest, most sensitive skin.
Our Vitamin Bee Day Cream and Night Cream do an amazing job at keeping your facial skin hydrated. The Day Cream contains vitamins A through E, making it ideal for combatting cold winter weather and protect your skin barrier. The Night Cream contains MSM and DMAE which is suspected to aid in cell regeneration and anti-aging effects.
After cleansing, spritz your face with Lavender Flower Water and apply a few drops of our Rose Garden Face Oil to retain moisture all day long. If you prefer, mix our Face Oil into your favorite moisturizer for an added pop of hydration.
Adding a face mask to your winter skincare routine once or twice a week will also help to gently exfoliate and nourish the skin. Our Calming Dry Mask is a perfect treat your skin will love in the winter months. Made with nourishing oats, lavender, honey, and clay, this mask nourishes and soothes dry, dull skin to reveal your inner glow.
