Winter can be magical—but it’s also the season that tests our skin, our energy, and even our mood. Cold winds, dry indoor air, and dark mornings can leave us feeling parched, puffy, sluggish, and sniffly.
That’s why winter isn’t just a time to cope—it’s the perfect time to lean into ritual. To restore, nurture, and make space for small moments of warmth and self-care.
Here’s your ultimate guide to winter rituals that soothe your skin, support your breathing, uplift your mood, and bring a little calm to the cold.
Winter skin is often dry, flaky, itchy or cracked. That’s because the cold strips away moisture, and water-based lotions don’t cut it.
What your skin is really craving?
Rich oils, skin-protecting butters, and gentle exfoliation.
Body Oils – deeply nourishing, fast-absorbing, and rich in fatty acids
Body Balms – perfect for cracked heels, dry hands and rough elbows
Body Scrubs – gently buff away dryness and help your oils absorb better
Skin Rescue Aloe Vera Gel– calm red, irritated, winter-stressed skin
🛁 Try this ritual:
After a warm shower or bath, gently scrub dry areas, then massage in a nourishing body oil from head to toe. Follow with balm on heels and hands for overnight repair.
Your face faces it all—wind, rain, heaters, and cold dry air. That’s why winter skincare needs to be richer, more nurturing, and focused on barrier repair.
Facial Oils – boost your glow and replenish lost moisture
Face Creams – seal in hydration and shield skin from the elements
Eye Gel – cool, soothe and reduce puffiness + dark circles
💧 Pro tip:
Layer a facial oil under your cream for a winter-proof glow. Pop the eye gel in the fridge for extra de-puffing power.
Winter colds. Blocked noses. That heavy, sluggish feeling. You can support your breathing and energy naturally—using the power of essential oils.
Breathe Perfume Roller – roll onto wrists, chest or under the nose for fast, plant-based relief
Breathe Essential Oil Blend – diffuse, add to a bowl of hot water for a sinus steam, or pop in the bath
🌫 Try this ritual:
Add a few drops of the Breathe blend to your diffuser while you’re winding down for the evening. It’s calming and clearing all at once.
There’s nothing like a hot bath when it’s freezing outside—but it’s not just about the heat. Warm water combined with therapeutic salts and essential oils helps relax your muscles, ease tension, and restore balance.
Magnesium Bath Soaks – support deep rest and muscle recovery
Aromatic Bath Salts – help your whole body unwind and let go
💫 Pro tip:
Soak before bed with Sleep soaks with epsom salts + lavender essential oil to calm your nervous system and prepare for deep sleep.
Winter often disrupts sleep—less daylight, more stress, and a sluggish body clock. Building a nightly wind-down ritual can help your body settle into deeper, more restorative rest.
Peace and Calm Balm – rub onto arms, chest, soles of the feet & legs
Sleep Easy Perfume Roller – a calm-inducing scent cue to help your mind wind down
Sleep Essential Oil Blend – perfect for baths, diffusers or rituals
🌙 Try this ritual:
After your bath, apply body oil, turn your diffuser on , and roll on your sleep perfume. Deep breath in. Long breath out.
Low sunlight = low mood. But scent has the power to shift your energy in seconds. Whether you need uplifting, grounding, clarity or inspiration—there’s a natural perfume for that.
Happiness – citrusy, bright and joyful
Peace – calming, gentle and soft
Marrakech – warm, spicy and energising
Meditation – grounding and soul-centering
🌿 Pro tip:
Layer your perfume with body oil for a longer-lasting scent that sticks to hydrated skin.
