During winter your skin needs extra protection. The dry outside air and cold temperatures push your skin to the limit. They deplete moisture reserves and damage the protective skin barrier, causing your skin to feel chapped, sensitive and flaky. Make time every day to check how your skin is doing and give it what it needs!
Jack of all trades
An intensely nourishing facial mask is my favorite winter savior. It gives your skin the nourishment it oh-so needs right now. Feel free to use it more often than once a week! In our Boost of Indulgence Face Mask we included agave tequilana leaf extract: a natural powerhouse that has an incredibly soothing and moisturizing effect. It contains saponin, one of the most effective substances that stimulate the production of natural hyaluronic acid in the skin.
PS: did you know that you can also use our facial mask as a repair cream? Many healthcare workers told us how our Boost of Indulgence Face mask relieved them from painful cracked hands. We use it here at home on every scratch and wound!
Is your skin dry
After a hot shower, it can be tempting to rub your skin thoroughly dry to warm up again as quickly as possible. However, it is better not to do that. Treat your skin gently and pat it dry with your softest towel to minimize irritation to your sensitive skin. Get your rich body cream out of the cupboard and cover your body from head to toe with a generous, moisturizing layer. Preferably do this when your skin is still a little damp. This way you 'seal' the moisture into your skin, as it were. Our Fine Delicate Body Butter contains a lot of natural concentrates that help your skin recover from within. It is rich in lauric and palmitic acids, which tackle the damaged skin barrier, and vitamin B, which reduces redness and has a moisturizing effect.
PS: Long hot showers and baths (unfortunately) do your skin little good. Keep your wash short and don't open the hot water tap all the way. Your skin will thank you!
Don't forget your scrub
Your skin renews itself at lightning speed. When those dead skin cells pile up, they cause a dull, gray complexion. Regular exfoliation removes that layer of old skin cells and boosts collagen synthesis, which improves skin texture and elasticity and makes your skin look full, tight and vital. So don't forget to exfoliate during the winter months. But… always treat your skin gently and choose mild products. You would never attack your skin with sandpaper, would you?
Our Boost of Oxygen Facial Scrub contains soft rice grains that remove dead skin cells and boost your blood circulation, giving your face a beautiful glow. For our Fine Deluxe Body Scrub we chose salt minerals from the Dead Sea that purify.

These toppers do more than scrub. They help keep your skin nourished, thanks to mother nature's most powerful ingredients such as:
- Shea butter: packed with vitamins A, D, E, F and other complex fatty acids that hydrate and repair dry, chapped skin.
- Macadamia: rich in vitamin B that helps restore the skin's moisture balance and reduces redness.
- Argan oil: source of fatty acids that protects your skin and prevents skin aging.
- Coconut oil: rich in lauric and palmitic acids that help repair the damaged skin layer.
