The Right Way To Layer Your Winter Skincare Products

Hey Beautiful! 

Ladies, let's be frank. Winter can be brutal on our skin, especially because we continue to lose our body's own ability to naturally produce Hyaluronic Acid and oil as we age.

The dry, cold air whips away moisture, leaving us feeling tight, itchy, and looking, well, less than our best. And after 40, our skin's natural resilience isn't what it used to be. We've earned our wisdom lines, yes, but that doesn't mean we have to settle for a dull, dehydrated complexion.

So why is winter so harsh? The lack of humidity in the air draws moisture out of our skin, leading to dryness, flakiness, and even exacerbating conditions like eczema. Fine lines can appear more pronounced, and our skin can lose its natural luminosity. It's a recipe for a complexion crisis if we don't take proactive steps! 

The good news? There's an easy solution!

It's all about applying your restorative skincare products in the right order so that they can replenish lost moisture and protect your skin from the elements.  

And here's a little secret, you don't need a 10 step skincare routine to do it! 

Here's an easy 3 step skincare routine to follow: 

Step 1: The Power of Serums

Serums are your secret weapon. These potent elixirs are packed with concentrated ingredients that penetrate deeply into the skin. They're like a vitamin boost for your complexion! Our best-selling Vitamin C + Correcting Serum is a fantastic option for targeting uneven skin. Its lightweight formula absorbs quickly, delivering a powerful dose of Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid to plump and hydrate! 

How to Use: Apply a few drops of your chosen serum(s) to clean, damp skin morning and night. Gently pat it in until absorbed.

Step 2: The Moisture Lock

Our Whipped Olive Oil Face Butter is a luxurious blend of organic coconut oil and organic olive oil to deeply nourish and protect. It creates a protective barrier against the harsh winter air, locking in moisture and preventing dryness. It's richer than a traditional cream, providing intense hydration without feeling heavy or greasy.

How to Use: After your serum, apply a small amount of face butter to your eyes (optional), face and neck. Massage it in gently until absorbed.

Step 3: The Finishing Touch

A high-quality face oil can actually balance your skin's oil production and prevent water loss. Our Glow Oil is a perfect blend of Squalane, Rosehip oil and Organic Hempseed oil with a touch of Rose to nourish, soothe, and promote a healthy glow. It's the final layer of your winter skincare routine, sealing in all the goodness from your serum and face butter.

How to Use: Apply a few drops of face oil to your hand and gently pat it over your face and neck after your face butter.  

Beauty Pro tip: On days you're wearing sunscreen, you may add a drop or two to your face butter for an extra boost of hydration instead of patting it over your moisturizer so it doesn't interfere with your SPF application.

Layering for Success:

The order in which you apply your products is crucial. Think "thin to thick." Start with your serum(s), then your face butter, and finish with your face oil. This allows each product to penetrate effectively and work its magic.

Bonus makeup tip! Opt for a moisturizing foundation made for mature skin, like our best selling Priming Duo, or mix a little moisturizer into your existing foundation (if it's drying) for a more hydrated and healthy appearance!

Don't Wait, Hydrate!

Ladies, winter skin woes are not inevitable. By taking proactive steps and incorporating these key products into your routine, you can keep your skin healthy, hydrated, and glowing all season long.

The more you know the more you glow!
