Winter weather can be harsh on sensitive skin. Cold temperatures, dry indoor air, and harsh winds can leave your skin feeling tight, irritated, and dry. But don’t worry—by following a few simple skincare tips, you can keep your skin nourished, hydrated, and glowing throughout the season.
At Stoney Creek Bath Co., we understand the importance of taking care of your skin, especially during the winter months. Here are some tips to help you protect and hydrate your sensitive skin while maintaining that healthy winter glow.
1. Wash Your Face with Lukewarm Water
Hot water may feel soothing, but it can strip your skin of its natural oils, leaving it feeling dry and irritated. Instead, use lukewarm water when washing your face to maintain moisture balance and prevent further dehydration.
2. Apply an Emollient-Rich Moisturizer
In the winter, it’s essential to choose a moisturizer that deeply hydrates and nourishes your skin. Our Stoney Creek Bath Co. Organic Whipped Shea Butter is an excellent choice. This luxurious blend of organic Shea Butter, Rosehip Oil, Jojoba Oil, Pomegranate Oil, and Vitamin E creates an emollient-rich moisturizer that softens, smooths, and protects your skin, leaving it silky and glowing. Regular use will help lock in moisture and keep your skin feeling soft all day long.
3. Avoid Harsh Cleansers
During the colder months, it's best to avoid cleansers with salicylic acid or other strong exfoliants. These can be too harsh on sensitive skin, causing dryness and irritation. Instead, opt for a gentle, hydrating cleanser that won’t strip your skin of its natural oils.
4. Keep Hydrated
Hydration doesn’t just come from the outside—it’s also essential to drink plenty of water throughout the day. Staying hydrated will help keep your skin moisturized from within. For an added boost, try incorporating a hydration mask into your weekly routine. These masks provide intense moisture to your skin, leaving it feeling plump and refreshed.
5. Don’t Skip SPF
Even though the sun may not feel as strong in the winter, UV rays can still damage your skin. Applying sunscreen daily is a must, no matter the season. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, and make it part of your daily routine, even on cloudy or snowy days.
Bonus Tip: Layer Up
When heading outdoors, protect your skin by layering up. Wear scarves, hats, and gloves to shield your face and hands from the cold. A thick, moisturizing lip balm is also essential to prevent chapped lips.
