Caring for Your Skin During the Cold Winter Months
Winter is a time of year that brings cozy evenings, warm drinks, and festive moments. However, it can also be a challenging season for your skin. Cold temperatures, biting winds, and indoor heating can leave your skin feeling dry, tight, and uncomfortable. To keep your skin healthy and radiant through the chilliest months, it’s essential to adjust your skincare routine to address these environmental challenges. Here at Floris Naturals, we believe in the power of natural ingredients to protect, nourish, and hydrate your skin. Let’s explore how you can maintain that healthy glow all winter long with our lotions and creams.
Why Does Winter Affect Your Skin So Harshly?
The cold winter air holds less moisture, which leads to increased evaporation of water from your skin, leaving it feeling dry and sometimes even cracked. This problem is compounded by indoor heating, which also strips moisture from the air and your skin. Without proper care, this can lead to irritation, flakiness, and a dull complexion.
But don’t worry—understanding these effects helps us find the right solutions. With a combination of the right products and habits, you can shield your skin from winter’s harsh conditions.

Winter Facial Routine: Keeping Your Face Fresh and Hydrated
The skin on your face is more delicate than the rest of your body, and winter can be particularly harsh on it. A proper facial routine can help maintain hydration, prevent irritation, and keep your complexion glowing. Here is a step-by-step winter facial routine featuring Floris Naturals products:
STEP 1.
Cleanse Gently: Start by cleansing your face with a gentle, hydrating cleanser to remove impurities without stripping your skin of its natural oils. Avoid foaming cleansers that can be overly drying.
STEP 2.
Tone and Balance: Use our natural toner to restore your skin’s pH balance. This step helps prepare your skin to absorb the following products more effectively.
STEP 3.
Hydrate with Serum: Apply our hydrating face serum to help lock in moisture. This step ensures that your skin retains as much hydration as possible.
STEP 4.
Moisturize with Floris Naturals Face Moisturizer for day and night, use to deeply moisturize and nourish your face. This cream is packed with antioxidants and calming botanicals that help soothe and repair dry, irritated skin.
STEP 4.
Protect with SPF: Even during winter, UV rays can still damage your skin. Apply our Mineral SunScreen Natural SPF35 to protect your skin from sun exposure and prevent further dehydration.
Tips & Tricks for Keeping Your Skin Healthy in Winter
While using high-quality, natural products is important, a few lifestyle adjustments can make all the difference in keeping your skin happy during winter. Here are some helpful tips and tricks to complement your skincare routine:
- Hydrate from Within: It might be cold outside, but staying hydrated is still crucial. Drinking enough water helps keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. Herbal teas and tisanes are also wonderful options to stay warm and hydrated. Floris Naturals offers a variety of herbal teas, including chamomile, peppermint, and hibiscus blends, which not only hydrate but also offer additional calming and antioxidant benefits for your skin.
- Moisturize Right After Showering: The best time to apply lotion is immediately after a warm shower, when your skin is still damp. This helps lock in moisture. Floris Naturals Shea Butter Body Cream is ideal for this purpose.
- Avoid Hot Showers: Hot showers might feel amazing in the cold weather, but they can strip your skin of its natural oils. Opt for lukewarm water instead, and keep your showers short to minimize moisture loss.
- Use a Humidifier: Indoor heating can drastically dry out the air, making your skin feel tight and uncomfortable. A humidifier adds moisture back into the air, which helps prevent your skin from drying out.
- Wear Protective Clothing: When heading out, protect exposed skin by wearing gloves, scarves, and hats. Keeping your skin shielded from the cold air will prevent irritation and keep it feeling soft.
- Exfoliate Gently: Exfoliating once or twice a week helps to remove dead skin cells, allowing your moisturizer to penetrate more deeply. Floris Naturals offers gentle scrubs that are perfect for maintaining soft skin without over-exfoliating.
FAQs: Winter Skincare Edition
How often should I moisturize my skin during winter?
During winter, it’s recommended to moisturize at least twice a day—in the morning and before bed. If your skin feels especially dry, consider using a thicker cream like Floris Naturals Face Moisturizing Cream more frequently throughout the day.
Can I use the same moisturizer for my face and body?
Facial skin is more delicate than body skin, so it’s best to use products specifically formulated for your face. Floris Naturals Face Moisturizing Cream is perfect for nighttime facial hydration, while our Exotic Grapefruit Natural Body Lotion works wonders for the rest of your body.
What can I do about cracked hands and feet?
Cracked hands and feet are common in winter. Apply a generous amount of Floris Naturals Natural Body Lotion and cover your hands with cotton gloves or your feet with socks overnight to lock in moisture and speed up healing.
My skin gets itchy during winter. How can I relieve this?
Itchy skin is often caused by dryness. Use a rich moisturizer like Floris Naturals Unscented Natural Body Lotion, and consider adding colloidal oatmeal to your bath to soothe irritation. Drinking herbal teas, such as our chamomile or peppermint blend, can also help to reduce inflammation from within and promote overall skin comfort. Avoid harsh soaps and detergents, as they can make itching worse.
