Surviving the Snow Freeze: How to Keep Your Skin Glowing in Harsh Winter Weather

Winter is officially here in Kansas City, and with today’s snow freeze, it’s the perfect time to talk about protecting your skin during harsh weather. As temperatures drop and icy winds blow, your skin can take a beating, leading to dryness, irritation, and even cracking. But don’t worry! At Yawa & Co., we believe self-care shouldn’t stop when the mercury plummets. Here’s your guide to winter-proofing your skin and keeping it soft, hydrated, and glowing all season long.

1. Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize Cold air means less moisture, which can leave your skin feeling parched. Switch to a richer moisturizer like our Cocoa Butter Cashmere Body Cream, which provides deep hydration and locks in moisture. Packed with nourishing cocoa butter and skin-loving oils, this cream is perfect for protecting your skin against the harsh winter elements.

2. Don’t Skip the Exfoliation Exfoliating your skin helps remove dead skin cells and allows your moisturizer to penetrate deeper. Our Vanilla Pumpkin Emulsified Sugar Scrub is gentle yet effective, leaving your skin smooth and refreshed without stripping it of essential oils. Use it 1-2 times a week for best results.

3. Protect Your Lips Your lips are especially vulnerable to winter dryness. Keep them soft and hydrated with our Natural Lip Balm or our indulgent Lip Scrubs. These are made with natural ingredients to exfoliate and protect against cracking, leaving your lips kissably soft.

4. Embrace the Power of Layering Just like you layer your clothing, you should layer your skincare. Start with a hydrating base like our Face Oils, followed by a rich moisturizer. Don’t forget to apply a protective balm to areas prone to dryness, such as your hands and feet.

5. Take Warm (Not Hot) Showers We know it’s tempting to crank up the heat during a snow freeze, but hot water can strip your skin of its natural oils. Opt for warm showers and follow up with our Golden Vanilla Body Butter to seal in moisture while giving your skin a luxurious treat.

6. Invest in a Good Hand Cream Hands often suffer the most in winter. Keep a travel-sized Lavender Sage Body Butter in your bag for on-the-go hydration. This multitasking product not only soothes dry hands but also provides a calming scent to help you de-stress during the hectic winter months.

7. Light a Candle for Self-Care Vibes Winter isn’t just tough on your skin; it can be tough on your mood too. Set the scene for a cozy night in with one of our candles, like the Minted Orchard Breeze and Forest Spice Haven. They’ll create a warm, inviting atmosphere that helps you embrace the beauty of the season.

8. Drink Water and Eat Hydrating Foods Hydration starts from within. Drink plenty of water and eat foods rich in water content, like oranges, cucumbers, and soups. These help maintain your skin’s hydration levels even when the weather outside is frightful.

9. Wrap Up! Don’t forget to protect your skin from the elements by bundling up. Scarves, gloves, and hats aren’t just fashion accessories; they’re essential for shielding your skin from the cold, dry air.
