Winter Skincare Bliss: My Favorite Routine for Nourished, Glowing Skin
Winter is here, and with it comes the challenge of keeping our skin hydrated, soft, and glowing despite the harsh cold and dry air. Luckily, with a little extra love and the right products, you can give your skin the nourishment it craves. Let me walk you through my go-to winter skincare routine using our Herbs and Mylk favorites—a ritual that’s luxurious, effective, and leaves my skin feeling incredible every time!
Step 1: Lather Up
I start by cleansing with one of our plant-based bar soaps or whipped soaps. Both options create a rich, creamy lather that gently cleanses without stripping my skin’s natural moisture. Whether it’s the refreshing Peppermint Pine Eucalyptus Bar Soap or the airy magic of Rosemary Eucalyptus Rhubarb Whipped Soap, this step is all about setting the foundation for soft, healthy skin.
Why I Love It:
- Packed with nourishing plant oils like coconut and olive oil.
- Hydrates and cleanses at the same time.
- Gentle enough for face and body.
Step 2: Scrub Away Dryness
Next, I reach for one of our sugar scrubs to gently exfoliate and buff away dead skin cells. Our scrubs are rich in plant oils and clays, leaving my skin baby-soft and glowing. Not only does this step keep my skin smooth, but it also preps my body for the ultimate hydration to come.
Favorite Scrub Picks:
- Cranberry Fig & Cashmere Scrub: Sweet, elegant, and hydrating.
- Peppermint Pine Eucalyptus Scrub: Invigorating and refreshing.
Why It’s Essential:
- Boosts circulation for a healthy glow.
- Helps prevent winter dryness by removing flaky skin.
Step 3: Shave Oil Perfection
For those shaving days, our Vanilla Honey & Oats Shave Oil is an absolute must. I apply it before shaving for a smooth glide and again afterward to soothe and lock in moisture. It’s infused with sweet almond oil, organic vanilla bean, organic oats, calendula, and marshmallow root to nourish and protect your skin.
Why It’s a Game-Changer:
- Prevents irritation and razor burn.
- Leaves your skin silky-smooth and hydrated.
- Smells absolutely divine.
Step 4: Pat, Don’t Rub
After cleansing, scrubbing, and shaving, I gently pat my skin dry with a soft towel. This keeps my skin from losing precious moisture and preps it for the final (and most indulgent) step of the routine.
Step 5: Whipped Herbal Body Butter Heaven
The final step is the ultimate indulgence—our Whipped Herbal Body Butter. With its fluffy, creamy texture, it melts into my skin, providing deep hydration without any greasy residue. Infused with nourishing herbs like comfrey, calendula, chickweed, and marshmallow root, it soothes, heals, and leaves my skin velvety smooth.
Favorite Scents for Winter:
- Narnia: A dreamy, fresh blend perfect for winter nights.
- Sandalwood Vanilla: Warm, grounding, and comforting.
Why I’m Obsessed:
- Hydrates and heals winter-dry skin.
- Feels luxurious and indulgent.
- Keeps my skin soft and glowing all day long.
