Why Winter Causes Skin Issues.
As the temperature drops outside and the central heating ramps up, your skin faces a double whammy. Cold air and harsh weather outside strips moisture, while dry heat inside dehydrates the skin barrier. Resulting in dry, dull and sensitivity that your regular moisturiser just can't fix. The secret to keeping your skin at its best in the winter isn't just adding moisture, but locking it in.
This is where a high quality natural facial oil becomes your winter skincare saviour.
The Power of Superfood Oils for Winter Skin.
At Kind Melts, our facial oils are formulated with 97% upcycled superfood seed oils. These aren't just oils they are nutrient rich, packed with antioxidants and essential fatty acids that help to repair the skins natural the barrier that winter destroys.
How to Choose Your Winter Facial Oil.
Here is how to pick the perfect facial oil for your skin type this season,
1. For Dry & Mature Skin: Rejuvenation.
If winter makes your skin feel tight, dry or look tired, you need deep nourishment.
Top Pick: Rejuvenate Facial Oil
Why: As well as nourishing oils Rejuvenate is Infused with Frankincense oil known for its age defying properties, and Sweet Orange to help brighten dull winter skin. It’s like a tall glass of goodness for thirsty skin.
2. For Sensitive Skin: Gentle Protection.
Cold winds often lead to redness and irritation, so you need a product that soothes without clogging pores.
Top Pick: Pure Facial Oil or Calm Facial Oil
Why: Pure is an unscented and gentle oil, perfect for the most delicate skin barriers. Calm uses Lavender essential oil to help soothe irritation and redness.
3. For Combination/Oily Skin: The Balancing Act.
Yes you do still need oils, even if you have oily skin! Dehydration causes your skin to overproduce oil, leading to winter breakouts.
Our Pick: Balance Facial Oil
Why: The Geranium essential oil assists in regulating sebum production, keeping your skin hydrated without being greasy.
Weekly Skin Reset, Beat the Winter Dullness
To get that winter glow, you need to gently remove the barrier of dead skin cells and nourish your skin. We recommend a Clay Face Mask for a weekly skin reset.
1.For Dull or Tired Skin: Buff & Boost Natural Clay Face Mask
Why: This mask is a wake up call for dull winter skin. French red clay helps boost circulation to restore a healthy glow, while Hibiscus gently lifts away dead skin cells and firms the skin, leaving you looking radiant and refreshed.
2.For Dry, Sensitive or Mature Skin: Rose Glow Natural Clay Face Mask
Why: This nutrient rich mask is a vitamin bomb for winter skin. The French pink clay gently refines the texture and firms, while Rosehip (packed with Vitamins A, C & E) boosts collagen and helps to delay signs of aging. Leaving skin feeling toned, hydrated and glowing.
3.For Stressed or Congested Skin: Divine Detox Natural Clay Face Mask
Why: Perfect for when your skin feels heavy or irritated. Moroccan lava clay draws out impurities and tightens the pores, but the winter skin saviour is Colloidal oatmeal. It soothes itchiness, gently exfoliates and creates a barrier to lock in moisture.
Don't Forget Your Body: A Zero Waste Swap
Your face isn't the only thing that suffers in winter. Your hands, feet and elbows need attention too.
Instead of water based lotions that evaporate quickly, try our Solid Lotion Bars.
Why: Made with beeswax, cocoa butter, and shea butter, these lotion bars create a protective barrier that seals moisture into the skin.
They are also plastic free and travel friendly, perfect for popping in your bag for on the go moisturising.
