Cold weather, even at mildly cold temperatures, can be rough on your skin. Lower temperatures often coincide with dry air, which draws the moisture out from your skin. This can exacerbate sensitive skin and skin with preexisting conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. Keeping your skin moisturized definitely helps, but the level of relief and protection depends on what kind of moisturizing product you are using. Skin care products made with quality all natural ingredients are the best choice, so let’s go over some of the options below. 

Hydrating Lotions and Creams

Emollients, typically in the form of lotions, creams, gels, and ointments, work by penetrating the skin layers to make your skin feel both soft and supple. They also restore moisture to dry skin when applied often, making them a great choice when dealing with cold weather. 

The esse Edit’s Renew | Remedy Balm is a thick whipped balm that, after being applied to the skin, becomes a nutrient laden oil that delivers moisture, antioxidants, and promotes cell growth. This balm has a revitalizing blend of botanicals (vanilla, bergamot, and sweet orange) and is also infused with a beautiful keepsake: an amazonite crystal. 

Seven Islands Skincare’s All Natural Body Lotion contains Omega 6 fatty acids, soothing cucumber oil, mineral oils, and a ton of antioxidants in order to provide your skin with a silky smooth moisturizing experience. This handmade lotion is all-natural and free of any harmful chemicals. 

The Rooibos Tea Lotion made by Nuru Beauty is a luxury body lotion. Rooibos Tea is well known for its myriad beneficial skin qualities, and this lotion is packed full of Vitamins E and C, as well as apricot oil, which leaves your skin feeling rejuvenated and soft.

Our hands are typically what feel the cold the most as they dry out the fastest, and that’s why hand creams are so important during the cooler months. MerindahBotanicals has a wonderful all-natural Nourishing Hand Cream that not only restores moisture but elasticity as well!

Soothing Oils and Scrubs

Oils and scrubs are just as effective at combating dry skin, particularly when made from quality botanicals and minerals as these products are. Oils trap the moisture within your skin layers while scrubs slough off dead, dry skin and moisturize the new skin beneath. 

Miss Thea has a sugar body scrub available with fifteen different pleasant, relaxing scents. Made with natural essences and oils, this scrub will have your skin feeling utterly revitalized after use.

If you’re in search of a luxury body oil, you need look no further than + Oils Aromatherapy. Their Bohème Body Oil is ideal for all skin types, is highly nourishing, and is ultra rich in nutrients like vitamins and antioxidants. 

Moonatic Natural Remedies makes a Botanical Body Oil that is packed full of quality botanicals, fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins. This oil is fast absorbing and it provides thorough hydration that lasts for a long time and helps to protect your skin from the cold.  

Protect Your Skin From Cold Weather

Cold temperatures can dry us out and make existing skin conditions worse, and that’s why it is so important to keep your skin hydrated and protected when the cold temperatures roll in. Using a lotion, oil, cream, or scrub full of nutrient-rich, all-natural ingredients can be the difference between irritated skin and skin that’s silky smooth, radiant, and hydrated.
