Welcome back to our Winter Glow-Up Series! We’re deep into winter, and by now, your skin has endured its fair share of chilly winds, dry indoor heat, and maybe even a few stubborn rough patches. But don’t worry—this week, we’re focusing on repairing, strengthening, and deeply nourishing your skin so it stays resilient for the rest of the season.
If you’ve been struggling with dryness, dullness, or irritation, now is the time to double down on moisture and skin-repairing ingredients before we start transitioning to spring. Let’s get into it!
1. Barrier Repair: Strengthen & Protect
Harsh winter conditions can weaken your skin’s natural barrier, leading to increased sensitivity, dryness, and even breakouts. Your goal? Strengthen and rebuild.
🔹 Look for natural barrier-repairing ingredients like shea butter, jojoba oil, aloe vera, and calendula extract to soothe and restore skin.
🔹 Apply Shia’s Facial Balm, packed with plant-based butters and oils, to seal in moisture and protect against harsh weather.
🔹 Avoid over-cleansing—stick to a gentle, non-stripping cleanser to maintain balance.
Pro Tip: Try slugging with a thin layer of balm at night to lock in hydration and repair your skin barrier while you sleep!
2. Overnight Treatments: Deep Repair While You Rest
The best time for intense hydration and healing? While you sleep! Nighttime is when your skin naturally repairs itself, so help it out with ultra-nourishing treatments.
🌙 Use a hydrating overnight mask 2-3 times a week to restore moisture.
💧 Layer on a rich serum before bed—our Boost Serum is packed with nutrients to replenish tired skin.
🧴 Don’t forget your neck and hands—they need repair too!
3. Double Up on Hydration
Hydration is about more than just moisturizer—it’s about layering the right products.
✔ Apply a hydrating toner or mist before your serum for better absorption.
✔ Use a lightweight facial oil (like Shia’s Glow Serum) to lock in hydration.
✔ Drink herbal teas and water-rich foods (like cucumbers and oranges) to hydrate from within.
4. Don’t Skip Lip & Eye Care!
Your lips and under-eyes are the most delicate areas of your face, and they’re prone to extra dryness in winter.
👄 Lip Care:
- Exfoliate gently with a sugar scrub once a week.
- Apply a hydrating lip balm (like ours!) throughout the day.
- Use a lip mask overnight for extra moisture.
👁 Eye Care:
- Dab on an eye serum or balm to prevent fine lines and dryness.
- Use a cool compress if your under-eyes feel puffy or irritated.
5. Self-Care Rituals for Extra Nourishment
Skincare isn’t just about products—it’s about building habits that help your skin thrive.
✨ Try a weekly hydration ritual with a steam facial + a deeply moisturizing mask.
🛀 Treat yourself to a warm bath with Shia’s Bath Soak for full-body relaxation.
😴 Get plenty of sleep—your skin does its best repair work overnight!
