Now that we're firmly into winter, it’s time to really consider how we’re taking care of our skin throughout these colder months. This season is notoriously harsh on our skin, with the cold wind outside contrasting to the toasty, heated indoors, meaning our skin is stripped of moisture, leaving it dry, flaky, and irritated. At White Rabbit Skincare, we’re passionate about helping you protect and nourish your skin with products that are as kind to your complexion as they are to the planet.
1. Moisturise More Frequently
Cold air holds less moisture which means your skin can dry out faster. An easy solution is to incorporate a richer moisturiser into your routine to replenish hydration, especially a rich overnight moisturiser like our Rose & Orange Rejuvenating Night Cream, packed with natural ingredients to nourish your skin. Serums are another great option for winter skin, like our Olive & Avocado Illuminating Skincare Serum, which penetrates into the lower layers of the skin and is perfect layered under your moisturiser
2. Be Gentle with Your Cleansers
Harsh cleansers can strip your skin of its natural oils, exacerbating dryness. Opt for a gentle, nourishing cleanser, such as a balm or oil-based one that works with your skin’s natural barrier. Our Eucalyptus & Lavender Comforting Cleansing Balm is designed to clear clogged pores and melt away make-up, all while being kind to your skin.
3. Exfoliate Wisely
Exfoliation is key to removing dead skin cells, but over-exfoliating in winter can do more harm than good. Experiment with exfoliating just once or twice a week using a gentle exfoliant - such as our Lavender & Apricot Glycolic Cleanser -, or opt for a weekly mask to remove excess buildup. This helps your skin better absorb moisturisers and serums without causing irritation from harsh ingredients.
4. Protect Your Skin from the Elements
Even on overcast days, UV rays can cause damage. Use a sunscreen or a moisturiser with SPF to shield your skin. Don’t forget to protect other exposed areas like your lips and hands which are prone to drying out in these colder days — our Lip Balm is perfect for keeping your lips soft and hydrated.
5. Skincare from the Inside Out
Skincare isn’t just about what you put on your skin — it’s also about what you put into your body. Drink plenty of water, herbal teas, and even hearty veg-heavy soups! Ultimately, the most important thing is to be kind to yourself this winter and listen to your body.
Pay attention to how your skin feels and adjust your routine as needed. Whether that means adding a hydrating serum or switching to a heavier moisturiser, responding to your skin’s cues will help you stay ahead of any issues.
