Winter Skin Care Tips: Protect, Hydrate, and Glow
Winter is here, and while the season brings cozy vibes and holiday cheer, it can also be tough on your skin. Between cold winds and indoor heating, it’s no wonder dryness and sensitivity become common complaints.
Don’t worry—I’m sharing my top tips and go-to Eminence Organic Skin Care products to keep your skin hydrated, healthy, and glowing all winter long.
Why Winter Challenges Your Skin
Winter weather tends to strip your skin of moisture. Cold winds, low humidity, and that cranked-up indoor heat leave your skin feeling tight, flaky, or dull. The good news? A few thoughtful changes to your skincare routine can make all the difference.
Colin’s Top Winter Skin Care Tips
1. Add a Humidifier
Dry indoor air can wreak havoc on your skin.
A humidifier balances the moisture levels in your space, giving your skin a break from winter dryness.
2. Be Careful with Hot Water
While a hot shower or washing your face with warm water feels
great, hot water can be extremely drying to your skin. Opt for lukewarm water, especially when cleansing your face, to protect your natural moisture barrier.
3. Nourish from Within
Healthy skin starts from the inside.
Adding omega-3-rich foods like salmon, walnuts, or chia seeds to your diet can help your skin retain moisture and reduce winter irritation.
4. Book your seasonal Facial
Start the season off with your favourite Eminence Facials at Namaste Day Spa! Go for our Classic Facial, Signature Spa Facial or REALLY treat yourself with the Spa Sampler to get cozy on a cold day, and help your skin stay happy!
A Hydrating Winter Routine for All Skin Types
1. Cleanse
Swap harsh cleansers for something hydrating like the Coconut Milk Cleanser. It gently cleans while delivering much-needed nourishment.
2. Tone
Add hydration with the Stone Crop Hydrating Mist. It’s a quickand refreshing way to keep your skin moisturized throughout the day.
3. Boost with an Essence
The Kombucha Microbiome Essence, or the Birch Water Essence both prep your skin to soak in hydration and nutrients.
An essence is the perfect first step before layering your serums or moisturizers.
4. Exfoliate
Winter doesn’t mean skipping exfoliation—it’s about being gentle. The Mangosteen Daily Resurfacing Cleanser or Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant will polish your skin without stripping it.

5. Hydrate with a Mask
Treat your skin weekly with a deeply moisturizing mask like the Strawberry Rhubarb Hyaluronic Masque. It’s my favorite for restoring balance to b winter-worn skin. You can even use it as an overnight treatment for deeper hydration.
6. Lock in Moisture
Top it all off with a rich moisturizer like the Coconut Age Corrective Moisturizer. It keeps skin soft, hydrated, and protected from harsh winter conditions.
