Protect your skin this winter – tips from Facing North

Winter is a challenging time for skin. Cold air, wind and dry indoor environments can leave skin dry, sensitive and irritated. For many with dry or sensitive skin, the winter months are particularly challenging, and for those with eczema or other skin conditions, symptoms can worsen significantly.

At Facing North, we know how important it is to protect and strengthen your skin during these cold months. Our products are designed to add and retain moisture, strengthen the skin barrier, and soothe irritation. Here are our top tips and product recommendations to help and protect your skin this winter:

1. Hydration is key

Keep your skin hydrated with our emollient and nourishing creams. Our Hydrating Face Cream is perfect for dry and sensitive skin. It is packed with natural ingredients that strengthen the skin's barrier and provide intense hydration.

Tip: Apply to skin immediately after showering or bathing, when skin is still damp, to lock in moisture and prevent dehydration.

2. Clean gently

Use gentle products that cleanse without drying out your skin. Our Calming Facial Cleanser, with Aloe Vera, is perfect for balancing, soothing and protecting your skin this winter.

Avoid showers and baths that are too hot – lukewarm water is gentler on the skin and preserves its natural oils.

3. Protect sensitive skin in children

Children's skin is extra sensitive to cold and wind, and the lick rash around the mouth can quickly become irritated and dry. Apply a good barrier cream to soothe and protect the skin, and apply a thin layer of a greasy ointment for extra protection against the cold.

4. Improve the indoor environment

Dry indoor air can be just as damaging to your skin as the cold outside. Using a humidifier in your bedroom or living room can help restore moisture to the air and prevent dryness in both your skin and mucous membranes.

5. Make Facing North a part of your winter routine

Our products are designed to strengthen, nourish and protect the skin naturally. With organic ingredients and sustainable packaging, we offer an uncomplicated skincare routine that works – even during the harshest winter months.
