Do you find your skin getting flaky, itchy, or dull when winter sets in? You are not alone. As the temperature drops, the cold air outside and indoor heating can strip your skin of its natural moisture, leaving it dry, tight, and uncomfortable. But don’t worry, winter skincare doesn't have to be a battle.
By incorporating the right winter skincare routine infused with natural ingredients, you can keep your skin feeling soft, deeply hydrated, and healthy all winter long. In this guide, we will go through expert-approved tips and some of Natralus Australia's most nourishing products designed for the cold months.
Let’s dive into your complete winter skincare survival guide.
Why Your Skin Struggles in Winter
Winter brings low humidity, chilly winds, and the heating indoors, the ideal scenario for dry, sensitive, or irritated skin. Even skin that is usually balanced will struggle in winter and can break down our skin's natural moisture barrier, leading to:
· Flaky patches
· Redness or itchiness
· Cracked hands or lips
· Tight, uncomfortable feeling
This is why it’s essential to adjust your skincare routine for winter and use products that protect, hydrate, and repair.
Hydrate Your Skin Deeply with a Rich Body Lotion
One of the easiest ways to give your skin a moisture boost in winter is to switch to a rich, nourishing body lotion. Lightweight summer products often don’t cut it when the weather gets dry.
Try the Natralus Superfood Body Lotion, a luxurious blend packed with natural superfoods like shea butter, jojoba, and paw paw seed oil. These ingredients are known for their high levels of antioxidants and vitamins, which help fight free radical damage and deeply moisturise your skin.
Benefits of Natralus Superfood Body Lotion:
· Packed with natural antioxidants
· Helps replenish moisture after showers
· Non-greasy and fast-absorbing
· Perfect for daily use in winter
This body lotion isn't just hydrating; it feels like a nutritious smoothie for your skin. Apply it generously after your bath or shower, especially on elbows, knees, and any dry patches.
Switch to a Gentle, Nourishing Body Wash
Most body washes strip your skin of natural oils, and that’s the last thing you want in winter.
Use something that cleanses but will not dry. The Natralus Softening Body Wash range is pure and natural, with no harsh, toxic chemicals. It also has body washes enriched with paw paw, aloe vera, and essential oils to keep skin clean, soft, and nourished.
Why Natralus Body Wash is winter-friendly:
· Contains moisturising ingredients to prevent dryness
· Soap-free formula, gentle on sensitive skin
· Perfect for daily use, even on dry or irritated skin
· Smells fresh and natural, without overpowering fragrance
For a winter shower that soothes instead of strips, the Natralus Body Wash is a must-have.
Don’t Skip the Power of Paw Paw
Winter is when your skin needs extra love, and paw paw is a natural wonder ingredient that helps heal, soften, and protect dry, chapped skin.
Natralus Natural Paw Paw range includes ointment, balm, and lip care products that are perfect for winter. Whether your lips are cracking, your hands are dry, or your cuticles are sore, Paw Paw can come to the rescue.
How Natralus Natural Paw Paw helps in winter:
· Deeply hydrates and protects skin from windburn
· Soothes cracked lips, heels, and elbows
· Can be used as an overnight treatment
· 100% natural and safe for the whole family
Keep one in your bag, car, and bathroom; this is a true winter skincare essential!
Layer Your Skincare Like a Pro
Just like layering your clothes in winter, layering a skincare routine is an added level of protection against harsh weather.
First, start with a gentle cleanse with a hydrating body wash, then apply the superfood body lotion. To seal the moisture, use the natural Paw Paw balm on the driest or most exposed areas.
Winter layering tip:
· Step 1: Cleanse your skin gently with a body wash to remove dirt to refresh your skin. You want to wash with warm water instead of hot water to avoid drying your skin out.
· Step 2: After cleansing, apply a rich and nourishing body lotion while your skin is still slightly wet. This will lock in moisture and keep the skin soft for the day.
· Step 3: Finally, seal the moisture in with a body oil or body balm. This layer will protect against the cold, dry winter air while providing life-long moisture.
This triple-action combo will keep your skin happy, healthy, and well-nourished even in the coldest months.
Protect Your Skin Barrier
Your skin barrier works like a shield, keeping moisture in and protecting your skin from irritants. In winter, cold air and indoor heating can weaken it, leading to dryness, redness, and sensitivity. To protect it, use gentle products and moisturise daily with the Natralus Superfood Body Lotion. For extra care, apply Natralus Natural Paw Paw balm on dry or damaged spots to soothe and heal.
To strengthen your skin barrier:
· Use products with natural oils and antioxidants (like those in the Natralus Superfood range)
· Avoid over-exfoliating (once a week is enough in winter)
· Apply Paw Paw balm before heading out into the wind or cold
Care for Your Hands & Lips
Hands and lips suffer the most in winter; they are exposed constantly and often neglected.
Solution?
Keep Natralus Paw Paw Lip Butter and Hand Balm in your routine.
Look for products that are:
· Rich in natural emollients
· Provide long-lasting moisture
· Free from petroleum and parabens
· Gentle and safe for sensitive skin
Apply the lip butter throughout the day and the hand balm after washing your hands or before bed. You’ll feel the difference within a few uses.
