Winter Skincare Tips: Keep Your Skin Smooth with a Creamy Face Scrub

Winter weather can be tough on your skin. Cold winds, central heating, and dry air can leave your face feeling tight, rough, or dull. Luckily, a gentle, creamy face scrub can be an easy and effective way to keep your skin feeling soft, smooth, and nourished, even in the chilliest months.

Why Winter Calls for a Little Extra Care

During winter, the skin’s natural moisture barrier can become depleted. While harsh soaps or over-washing can make it worse, gentle exfoliation helps to:

• Remove dry, flaky skin
• Smooth rough patches
• Prep your skin to absorb moisturisers more effectively

A creamy face scrub is ideal because it exfoliates gently while also hydrating and soothing the skin, thanks to natural oils and butters.

 

What Makes a Creamy Scrub Special

Unlike grainy scrubs that can be too abrasive in winter, a creamy scrub combines mild exfoliating particles with nourishing oils and plant butters. For example:

• Walnut shell powder provides gentle exfoliation to lift away dry skin
• Shea butter, cocoa butter, and jojoba oil help to soften and moisturise
• Botanical extracts like gotu kola, olive leaf, and rosehip oil support the skin’s natural appearance
• Aloe and natural gums leave skin feeling smooth without over-drying

These ingredients work together to exfoliate without stripping the skin of its essential moisture.

How to Use Your Creamy Face Scrub

Cleanse first: Start with a gentle facial wash like our Reviving Cleansing Cream to remove dirt and daily impurities. 

Apply the scrub: Massage a small amount onto damp skin in circular motions, avoiding the delicate eye area.

Rinse thoroughly: Use lukewarm water to remove all residue.

Moisturise: Follow with your favourite winter moisturiser to lock in hydration.

Tip: Use 2-3 times per week in winter. Over-exfoliating can make skin feel dry or sensitive.

 

Extra Winter Skincare Tips

Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help skin feel plump.

Layer moisturisers: Consider a richer night cream or facial oil for added winter protection.

Protect your skin outside: Apply SPF even in winter as snow and frost can still reflect UV rays.
