Part 2: Your Winter Skin Survival Guide – Daily Habits for Ultimate Hydration

When the snow falls and the air gets crisp, your skin needs extra TLC. Building a daily routine that supports hydration is the secret to thriving through Alberta’s harshest months. Here’s how to keep your skin soft, supple, and glowing—no matter what the forecast says.

1. Hydrate from the Inside Out

  • Drink Up: Aim for at least 8 glasses of water a day. Herbal teas are great, too!

  • Humidify: Run a humidifier in your bedroom and main living areas to keep moisture in the air.

2. Gentle Cleansing

  • Skip Hot Showers: Hot water strips natural oils. Opt for lukewarm showers and baths.

  • Use Nourishing Cleansers: Choose gentle, sulfate-free cleansers that don’t dry out your skin.

3. Layer Your Moisture

  • Apply on Damp Skin: Lock in hydration by moisturizing right after bathing.

  • Layer Creams and Balms: Start with a lotion, then seal with a richer cream or body butter for extra protection.

4. Protect & Repair

  • Gloves and Scarves: Shield your skin from wind and cold.

  • Overnight Treatments: Use richer creams or balms before bed to help skin repair overnight.

Lavender and Crate Product Picks

  • Dream Weaver Lotion: Perfect for overnight recovery and deep hydration.

  • Pure Essentials Lotion: Gentle and unscented for sensitive skin and the whole family.

  • Essence Body Mist
    Hydrating, plant-based mist for daytime refreshment.

A few simple tweaks to your daily routine can make all the difference. Your skin will thank you!
