Skincare for Cooler Months. Nourish Your Skin from the Inside Out
As the cooler months roll in, many of us notice our skin feeling drier, tighter, and more sensitive. The drop in temperature, combined with indoor heating and lower humidity, can strip the skin of its natural moisture, leading to flakiness, irritation, and a lacklustre complexion. But winter skin doesn’t have to mean unhappy skin.
Long-term skin health starts with consistent care — both from the inside and outside. By focusing on hydration, nutrition, and natural, nourishing skincare, you can maintain your skin’s resilience and radiance throughout the colder seasons and beyond.
The Importance of Hydration
Hydration is the foundation of healthy, glowing skin. When your skin lacks moisture, it becomes prone to dryness, irritation, and premature ageing. In winter, it’s crucial to combat the environmental factors that dehydrate your skin:
- Drink More Water. Aim for at least 2 litres per day, even when it’s cold.
- Humidify Your Space. Adding moisture to the air prevents your skin from drying out.
- Use a Rich Moisturiser. Lock in hydration with nourishing creams that provide a protective barrier.
- Limit Caffeine and Alcohol. Both are dehydrating and can strip moisture from your skin.
- Avoid Sugar. Studies have shown a link between insulin resistance and acne development, some scientists referring to acne as the "diabetes of the skin".
Nutrition for Long-Term Skin Health
Great skin isn’t just about what you put on it — it’s about what you feed it. Supporting your skin’s health through proper nutrition ensures long-lasting radiance and resilience.
- Marine Collagen: Collagen production naturally declines with age, leading to fine lines and reduced elasticity. Marine collagen supports skin structure, keeping it firm and hydrated.
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids. Found in fish oil and flaxseed, omega-3s help combat inflammation and keep skin soft and supple.
- Probiotics. A healthy gut equals healthy skin. Probiotics balance your microbiome, reducing issues like acne, eczema, and inflammation.
- Improves skin elasticity
- Enhances hydration & firmness
- Improves hair & nail health
- High strength, ultra-pure Omega 3 fish oil
- Supports healthy cardiovascular system function
- Relieves inflammation
- Reduces symptoms of mild eczema
- Microbac™ technology: 5x more effective delivery
- Guaranteed potency
Support Skin with Natural Care
What you apply on your skin matters. Natural, nutrient-rich products are easily absorbed and provide essential nourishment without harmful additives.
- Skin Brushing. Dry brushing helps remove dead skin cells, stimulates circulation, and promotes lymphatic drainage — keeping your skin smooth, vibrant, and glowing.
- Tallow-Based Creams. Rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, tallow-based creams are deeply moisturising and safe for sensitive conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
- Jojoba Oil. This lightweight oil mimics the skin’s natural sebum, providing hydration without clogging pores. It’s perfect for all skin types.
- Suitable for sensitive skin
- Safe for pregnancy, babies and eczema and psoriasis skin types
- Great for dry lips, feet, hands and face
- Moisturises and repairs sensitive & problem skin
- Naturally rich in vitamins A, D & E plus omegas 6 & 9
