Welcome back to Winter Glow-Up, our winter skincare series designed to keep your skin glowing all season long! As we approach the end of winter, now is the perfect time to refresh your routine and prepare for spring. The shift in seasons can bring new skincare challenges—goodbye harsh winter dryness, hello fluctuating temps and unpredictable humidity!
This week, we’re guiding you through the best ways to transition your skincare routine seamlessly using natural ingredients. Let’s get your skin prepped for brighter days ahead! ☀️🌿
1. Lighten Up Your Moisturizer
During winter, we rely on thicker, richer creams to combat dry air. But as the weather warms, heavy moisturizers may start feeling too occlusive, leading to congestion or excess oil.
✅ Switch to a lightweight moisturizer with hydrating, breathable ingredients like aloe vera or jojoba oil.
✅ If your skin still needs extra nourishment, layer a hydrating serum like Shia’s Glow Serum under your moisturizer for a weightless boost.
✅ Not ready to part with your winter balm? Apply a thinner layer at night rather than using it throughout the day.
2. Exfoliate to Reveal Fresh, Glowing Skin
Winter can leave behind a buildup of dry, flaky skin—it’s time to refresh your complexion with gentle exfoliation!
✅ Swap heavy physical scrubs for enzyme-based or clay masks like Shia’s Glowin' Clay Mask, which gently buffs away dull skin without irritation.
✅ Exfoliate 1-2 times a week to encourage cell turnover and reveal a radiant glow.
✅ Be mindful of over-exfoliating—your skin is adjusting to the seasonal change, so keep it gentle and hydrating.
3. Adjust Your Cleanser
If you were using a rich, creamy cleanser in winter, you might find it’s no longer necessary as the weather shifts.
✅ Switch to a gentle foaming or gel cleanser that removes sweat and excess oil without stripping the skin.
✅ Look for ingredients like cucumber extract or green tea, which calm and refresh the skin during seasonal changes.
✅ Keep hydration in check with Shia’s Hibiscus Face Wipes, perfect for a quick, refreshing cleanse on the go.
4. Increase Sun Protection (Yes, Even in Spring!)
If SPF took a backseat during winter, it’s time to make daily sun protection a non-negotiable. Even on cloudy spring days, UV rays can contribute to premature aging, hyperpigmentation, and dehydration.
✅ Choose a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ to protect your skin every day.
✅ Pair sunscreen with antioxidant-rich serums (like Shia’s Boost Serum) for extra protection against environmental damage.
✅ Don’t forget areas like your neck, hands, and décolletage—they need love too!
5. Refresh Your Body Care Routine
Your face isn’t the only part of your skin that needs a seasonal transition! Warmer weather calls for lighter hydration and extra exfoliation for soft, glowing skin.
✅ Swap heavy butters for lightweight body oils, like Shia’s upcoming Winter Glow Body Oil, for fast-absorbing moisture.
✅ Treat your skin to a soothing bath soak—try Hibiscus Margarita or Chamomile Champagne for an indulgent, skin-softening experience.
✅ Exfoliate with a DIY body scrub (brown sugar + coconut oil = silky smooth skin!).
