Ah, winter – the season of cozy sweaters, warm beverages, and sparkling snowflakes. But, as the temperatures drop and the air gets drier, our skin can start to feel less than festive. If you’ve noticed your skin becoming drier, tighter, or even cracking in places, you’re not alone. Winter weather can take a toll on our skin, leaving it begging for extra care and attention.
At Eden Body Care, we understand the unique challenges that winter presents to our skin firsthand! It seems as if the beautiful fall weather came and left in a weekend 😮💨 and in comes winter overnight!
The harsh winds and cold air outside and the dry heat indoors can strip away moisture, leaving our skin feeling dehydrated and uncomfortable. But fear not – achieving soft, supple, and radiant skin during winter is absolutely possible with the right knowledge and products in hand.
In this blog post, we will guide you through some top tips and tricks to help you keep your skin hydrated, nourished, and glowing all season long. So, whether you’re facing freezing temperatures or just a slight chill in the air, read on to discover how you can protect your skin and maintain its health and vitality throughout the winter months. Let’s embark on this journey to winter-proof your skincare routine together!
Stay Hydrated from the Inside Out:
Maintaining hydration for your skin and body is pivotal, and surprisingly, the winter season can trick us into reducing our water intake. Being in colder climates might diminish your thirst, but your skin still desperately needs that moisture from the inside out.
For those with an Asian cultural background, the practice of avoiding cold or iced water aligns perfectly with the winter season. Opt for sipping warm, boiled water throughout the day, especially while you’re at your desk working. It keeps you cozy and ensures you’re getting the hydration you need. If warm water isn’t your preference, room-temperature water is also a great option.
It’s important to note that while tea and coffee might seem like they contribute to your daily liquid intake, they don’t replace the essential need for pure water. Ensure you’re drinking water in addition to your other beverages to keep your skin happy, hydrated, and glowing throughout the winter months.

Moisturize Right After Washing:
Ensuring your skin retains its moisture, especially after cleansing, is a crucial step in any skincare routine. The moment you’ve finished washing your face or stepping out of the shower is when your skin is most receptive to hydration, making it the perfect time to apply a moisturizer.
Our Eden Body Care’s non-greasy body butter is an excellent choice for this step. Its luxurious texture glides onto the skin, providing an immediate sensation of comfort and hydration without leaving any oily residue. It’s formulated to penetrate deeply, ensuring that your skin is nourished and remains hydrated for an extended period.
But our dedication to your skin’s health doesn’t stop there. We understand that different skin types may need different solutions, and for those who prefer a more minimal approach, pure oils can offer a fantastic alternative. Argan oil, in particular, is renowned for its skin benefits. It’s packed with essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamin E, helping to hydrate and nourish the skin, while also providing a protective barrier against environmental stressors.
When using argan oil, a little goes a long way. Just a few drops warmed up between your fingers can be gently pressed into the skin, delivering intense hydration and leaving your complexion looking radiant and feeling silky smooth.
Whether you choose the rich indulgence of our body butter or the pure simplicity of argan oil, you’re ensuring that your skin is receiving the hydration it needs to stay soft, supple, and radiant throughout the winter months. Remember, consistency is key, and making these steps a regular part of your skincare routine will yield the best results.
Use a Humidifier:
Battling the naturally arid climate of Las Vegas, using a humidifier in your home or office becomes a crucial strategy to maintain skin hydration during winter. A humidifier adds necessary moisture to the air, creating a more balanced environment and helping prevent the dryness and irritation that can plague skin in such dry conditions.
Maintaining indoor humidity levels between 30-50% ensures optimal conditions for your skin’s health, providing relief not just to your skin, but also to your eyes and respiratory system. This adjustment creates a consistent, comfortable living space, and supports your skin’s natural barrier function, protecting it from environmental aggressors and retaining its natural moisture. In a region as dry as Las Vegas, a humidifier is a wise investment for both your skin’s health and overall comfort.
Exfoliate Gently:
Exfoliate your skin once a week to remove dead skin cells. Opt for a gentle, natural exfoliator to avoid stripping the skin of its natural oils.
Goat milk stands out in the realm of skincare ingredients for its unique ability to provide gentle yet effective exfoliation. Packed with naturally occurring alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), goat milk works to gently slough away dead skin cells, revealing a smoother, brighter complexion beneath.
Here’s a deeper look into the wonders of goat milk for natural exfoliation:
-
Alpha-Hydroxy Acids at Work: The AHAs in goat milk, particularly lactic acid, are known for their exfoliating properties. They help to break down the bonds that hold dead skin cells together, allowing them to be easily removed during the cleansing process. This action promotes a more even skin tone, helps to unclog pores, and can improve the overall texture of the skin.
-
Gentle on the Skin: Unlike some other exfoliating agents that can be harsh and irritating, goat milk provides a milder alternative. This makes it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, ensuring that everyone can benefit from its exfoliating properties without risking irritation.
-
Natural Moisturizing Benefits: In addition to its exfoliating capabilities, goat milk is also rich in fats and proteins, which contribute to its moisturizing qualities. So, while it works to remove dead skin cells, it also helps to keep the skin hydrated and nourished.
-
Balanced and Bright: With regular use, goat milk can contribute to a more balanced complexion, helping to alleviate issues such as dry patches and dullness. The result is brighter, smoother, and more radiant skin.
-
A Boost for Other Skincare Products: By removing the layer of dead skin cells, goat milk also enhances the penetration of other skincare products. This means that moisturizers, serums, and treatments can work more effectively, providing you with better results over time.
Incorporating goat milk into your skincare routine, such as through the use of Eden Body Care’s goat milk soap, provides a gentle yet powerful way to keep your skin exfoliated, balanced, and radiant. Its natural exfoliating properties work harmoniously with its nourishing benefits, making it a standout choice for those seeking a holistic approach to skincare.
Extra Winter Advice for Achieving Smooth and Hydrated Skin
-
Protect Your Skin from the Wind:
Wrap up well when heading outside to protect your skin from the harsh winter wind. Pay special attention to covering your face, as facial skin is particularly delicate. -
Don't leave the lips behind:
If your lips tend to crack and peel during the colder months, be sure to lightly exfoliate and apply natural lip balm during these harsh cold months. -
Don’t Forget Sunscreen:
The winter sun, especially when reflecting off snow, can still damage your skin. Apply a natural, clean sunscreen to any exposed skin areas before heading outside. -
Avoid Hot Showers:
While a hot shower might feel good in the cold weather, it can strip your skin of its natural oils. Opt for lukewarm water instead, and keep showers short. -
Pamper Your Hands and Feet:
Give extra attention to your hands and feet during winter. Use Eden Body Care’s non-greasy body butter to keep your hands and feet soft and moisturized. -
Nourish with Natural Oils:
Incorporate natural oils like coconut oil or jojoba oil into your skincare routine. These oils can help to further nourish and protect your skin, keeping it supple and hydrated.
