It’s that time of year again! And no, I’m not talking about Mariah Carey defrosting for Christmas. Winter is here, and with it comes the dry, heated air indoors and the biting cold outdoors which is a recipe for dry, sensitive, and irritated skin.
If you’re anything like me, your skin suffers in the winter. I used to carry my moisturiser everywhere, constantly slathering it on to combat that dry, tight feeling and redness. But that was before I discovered the transformative power of Gentle Roots' winter skincare essentials, specifically the Nourish Balm and Radiance Body Oil. These products are game changers, designed to keep your skin soft, supple, and radiant, no matter how harsh the weather.
Why Winter Wreaks Havoc on Your Skin
During the colder months, moisture evaporates from your skin faster due to dry, heated indoor air and frigid outdoor temperatures. This moisture loss can leave your skin feeling tight, flaky, and irritated. Combatting winter dryness requires extra hydration and skin-compatible, nutrient-rich ingredients that replenish moisture and strengthen the skin barrier.
At Gentle Roots, we’ve created natural, non-toxic skincare products that are perfect for the job. Let’s explore two winter must-haves that will leave your skin glowing all season long.
Nourish Balm: The Ultimate Winter Balm for Face and Body
Our Nourish Balm is a deeply moisturising, all-purpose balm that tackles dryness head-on. Whether you’re dealing with flaky skin or irritation, this balm is your go-to solution for both face and body. Here's why:
Key Ingredients in Nourish Balm:
Grass-Fed Tallow: Rich in skin-compatible lipids, tallow mimics your skin's natural oils, reinforcing its protective barrier. It’s packed with vitamins A, D, E, and K, which promote skin repair and smoothness.
Grapeseed Oil: A lightweight, non-comedogenic oil high in antioxidants, including vitamin E, which shields the skin from environmental stress and locks in moisture.
Calendula and Chamomile Infusion: These botanicals soothe sensitive or irritated skin with their anti-inflammatory properties, making this balm ideal for winter.
Vitamin E: An essential winter skincare ingredient, vitamin E protects against oxidative damage and supports natural healing.
Lavender Essential Oil (in the scented version): Calms both your skin and your senses, adding a relaxing element to your winter skincare ritual.
Why It’s Perfect for Winter:
Gentle enough for all skin types, including sensitive skin and babies.
Multi-purpose: Use it as a face and body moisturiser or as a nourishing oil cleanser to dissolve makeup and impurities.
Sustainable: Packaged in reusable amber glass jars, this balm embodies Gentle Roots’ commitment to eco-friendly skincare.
Radiance Body Oil: A Winter Glow in a Bottle
Our Radiance Body Oil is here to rescue your winter-weary skin with its luxurious, fast-absorbing formula. It hydrates and nourishes deeply, leaving your skin soft and glowing even in the coldest months.
Key Ingredients in Radiance Body Oil:
Hempseed Oil: Rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, hempseed oil helps maintain moisture levels and elasticity.
Apricot Kernel Oil: Lightweight yet deeply hydrating, it absorbs quickly and delivers vitamins A and E to rejuvenate the skin.
Grapeseed Oil: Offers antioxidant protection and a smooth, even texture.
Vitamin E: Locks in hydration and reduces dryness and flakiness.
Sweet Orange Essential Oil (in the scented version): Adds a refreshing scent and a vitamin C boost to brighten your skin.
Ylang-Ylang (in the scented version): Balances the skin's natural oils, keeping it radiant without feeling greasy.
Tips for Winter Skin Success
Lock in Moisture: Apply the Nourish Balm or Radiance Body Oil right after cleansing or showering to seal in hydration.
Be Consistent: Winter skin thrives on regular care. Make these products a daily part of your routine.
