Winter
During the cold winter months our skin can require more nourishment and protection. Normally the acid-mantle created by our oil glands provides the necessary protection to guard against loss of moisture and the harshness of the dry conditions. Given the challenges of the dry, icy outdoors, in addition to having the heating on constantly indoors and in the car – it is no wonder that our skin needs extra help during this time.
Dr.Hauschka Quince Day Cream is great at this time of year. The Quince wax acts as a seal on the skin so preventing moisture loss. This cream is also rich in anti-oxidants thereby providing extra protection in the office.
It is always harder waking up in the mornings when it is cold and dark outside. Start your day by bringing a bit of warmth into your morning face washing routine. Rather than simply splashing your face with water, use a muslin. Fill your basin with warm water, fragranced with a couple of drops of Lavender Bath to calm, or try Rosemary Bath in the mornings to help wake you up. Soak a muslin in the water and then hold it to your skin for a few seconds. As well as helping to warm you up, it also benefits your skin, as the heat helps to open the pores making cleansing more effective. The heat also helps to improve your circulation, boosting blood flow and promoting regeneration.
During cold evening journeys home, one can often find oneself hunched up and tense. Once home relaxing in a warm bath containing Lavender Bath, eases muscular and nervous tension, thereby facilitating a healthy sleep and gives new vitality.
Rose Day Cream provides necessary nourishment if your skin becomes red and irritated. Rose petals are rich in tannins essential for strong and elastic capillary walls.
Indulge in the intensive weekly therapy of Moisturising Mask to keep facial skin deeply hydrated and help renew dry, chapped skin.
Rose Body Moisturiser does the same for the rest of your body, enveloping you in a comforting, protective layer. Our hands can suffer more exposure than the rest of the body, and Hand Cream ingredients like Marsh Mallow, Anthyllis, Carrot and Jojoba oil deliver serious healing protection without leaving an oily residue.
Lip Balm fits easily into a bag or pocket and both prevents and restores dry, chapped lips.
Cold weather can leave your skin looking and feeling red and taut. Provide protection by applying Normalising Day Oil over your usual moisturiser. The oil prevents the day cream from freezing on your skin. It is the freezing action of your cream that leaves your skin feeling uncomfortable and sore.
