What are you doing this winter to care for your skin? With drier air and colder temperatures, we need to do all that we can to care for our skin. Here are some habits that I find helpful in nourishing my skin, both face and body.
Bathing. I’m taking baths once a week now, with Epsom, Sea, or Himalayan Salts, Baking Soda, Neom Organics Bath Oils as well as with my Herbal and Floral Soaks (though not usually all at once). My skin thanks me every time.
Creams, Facial Oils, and Serums. At night I use a lovely Jasmine facial cream by Amrita Apothecary, mixed with a few drops of facial oil (homemade or made by other artisans). This does wonders to deeply restore my skin overnight. In the daytime I use facial serums with sunscreen properties as well as facial oils to keep my skin moist and protected.
Holistic Self-Care. Drinking water regularly and eating water-rich foods like fruits, salads, and the occasional sorbet bring much needed moisture inside and out.
Although there are other things I do, these are the main ones that serve my skin. What do you do?
Thanks for these great suggestions. I have started using a little evening primrose oil on my face at night, and I try to drink more water.
Thanks for sharing! Oils are great for the skin.

All of the above works for me but i also do dry brushing and my skin glows.
Fantastic. I’ve tried it but never have stuck with it.
I am addicted to herbal baths! For my face I like to do light exfoliating with whatever goodies I have on hand. I love a sugar scrub mixed with honey, tumeric , vitamin e, apricot oil and my favorites e/o . This leaves my skin so refreshed . After a really good facial , I love to mist my face with fresh aloe Vera and apply a moisture-rich coat of a serum I created. A dab is all I need. Oh how I love the glow .
Wow, your routine sounds amazing. I especially love the addition of turmeric to your honey sugar scrub as well as the fresh aloe vera facial mist. Divine!
